I think that the flames trade Brodie if Macdonald is sufficient as 6/7th dman based on the long look already. I see Davidson as below him - AHL leadership. Trading Brodie is easier than trading Frolik and none of the PTO forwards look like they're replacing Frolik. Frolik can move up and down the lineup depending on the play of other middle six potential wingers Dube/Mangiapane/Bennett. I think Janko is who they hope to trade to create cap room (if needed).
