Trading Gio for him would be a colossal mistake and I would also be opposed to anpckage that included Brodie, Bennett AND one of our top 4 d prospects. 2 of the 3 I could likely get behind but all 3 of those pieces would be a trade I feel the Flames would lose long term.
Brodie+Bennett+Kylington/Fox/Andersson/Valimaki is a great trade package but shouldn’t be used to acquire anyone over 27 in my opinion. That is why I go back to Hamilton where I think he can get a package around a top forward 25 of younger. Having said that I am opposed to selling low on Brodie and Bennett where others think we should cash in while the value is there.

Heatley fell off a cliff because the guy can't skate and couldn't keep up with today's NHL. Kessel, on the other hand, is one of the fastest skaters in the league. So unless he suffers some debilitating leg injuries, he should be able to stick around for a while. Plus his shot is lethal and fills a void that left with Iginla.
