I think the reason to not deal Brodie is because a replacement is not as easy to find as people think it is. Yeah, people want to give Giordano credit for all of Brodie's success but in my opinion, Giordano has looked cooked this season and Brodie's been our best defenseman. Do you want to go into next season without TJ Brodie? I don't foresee any better or equal options on the FA market. Get him extended. There are only ten defensemen this season with 900+ 5v5 minutes played, xGF% > 51.5%, GF% > 50%, and OZone% < 50% for a reason. Brodie plays legitimately tough minutes. Even if he has the benefit of a good partner in Giordano.

It's another thing for a UFA to be a replacement level piece like Hamonic or Glencross or Russell or Stone. Sell Sell Sell.
