I would also trade Brodie+ for OEL but would also consider moving Hamilton for a young scoring forward (Marner, Brady Tkachuk)

If the Flames had Gio, OEL, Hamonic, Stone they could afford to move another high priced D out to address scoring issues considering OEL should upgrade our blueline.

I do think OEL is being massively overrated here. I wouldn’t trade Hamilton + for him. They have scored around the same rate and Dougie is younger and signed longer term. OEL has played for a horrible team and in his first year as captain they get off to a historically bad start with a top 4 D that on paper should be top 10 in the league. That is not on his shoulders but I can’t help but think some folks have a grass is greener approach here when talking about Brodie/Hamilton and OEL.
