If Seattle isn’t going to take that contract, with all the cap space in the world, why would Calgary give him that contract?

If it’s such a good contract, I expect Seattle would be all over it.

Brodie should not be offered more than a 5 year deal.

Could we give Brodie a NMC for the first 2 yrs. of his deal to keep Seattle from taking him? Or would that make it impossible to protect other D we value more?

That would make it more difficult to protect the other defensemen that we value more.

They should stay away from a no movement clause.
If anything, it might be a good thing if they (Seattle) claimed Brodie, who would be what, 32 by then?
If Seattle claims the defenseman who the Flames sign today, it means it must have been a decent signing. But it's a good problem to have.

I doubt he signs here then. We could offer him a one-year deal but that’s risky for TJ in the case of a major injury.

They could just not protect Gio , which would be the smart move .

I don't get why they'd give Brodie a NMC or even a NTC. If he's one of the teams best defenders, the team is in trouble. I hope the team is really sticking to their guns with Brodie, he's been a warrior for the team but I think it's time for a change. People like to say "change for the sake of change is terrible" but to that I say staying average for the sake of staying average gets you nowhere.

The team is at a crossroads, they have to either drastically improve because they're not getting better by keeping the same team together.

I would not offer Brodie an NMC or NTC. Length of the contract would not exceed 4 years.

If that doesn't work, Flames and Brodie should part ways.

Brodie, does not have enough offensive talent to demand a high AAV in my opinion

I agree and I can't see Brodie signing without a full NTC or close to it. Someone else can overpay for a 30+ 2nd pairing defenseman on a long term deal.

Well, he was our best D-man last season. Losing him doesn’t improve the team, unless we’re burning it down.

[VilleN]

I like Brodie. I think he makes this team better. I would be ok with a 5 or 6 year deal at ~5m AAV.

Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
CGY and pending UFA D T.J. Brodie, a left shot who plays the right side, have had more contract talks in the last hour but weren’t able to get a deal done. Unless things change before noon, expect Brodie to go market.

What is the other option Bob?

[miraisoup]

Well that sucks.....

[Ashasx]

[Bonded]

That sucks

[CalgaryFan1988]

You have to wonder if a NTC is what held the deal up. I'm sure Brodie would want one.

Hopefully Tre can salvage this and sign Pietrangelo.

I think it is a major factor for all UFAs right now, they are going to want expansion protection
