Two completely different words and meanings.

I may go on a mission to point it out moving forward...bothered me for years and years.

Irregardless, there the same thing.

Sorry, English is actually my second language. love to see the guys on here who get worked up about spelling start writing in a second language and not have a spelling mistake or use words in the proper context.

Actually, people use English as second language would be more accurate on spelling and proper usage of words in general. They would make a conscious effort to make sure they are correct because it's their second language. I'm an immigrant myself and English was my second language as well.


After all that, I've seen plenty of English as first language people have spelling mistakes, could not differentiate between then and than, or it's just carelessness.

That last paragraph is a nightmare.

2 firsts and 2 seconds for him is hardly laughable to the point of hanging up the phone.

Equivalent to what got a us a young Dougie Hamilton and I would argue defenceman are worth more in trades than pretty much any other position.

I'm not sure Brodie is worth that much.
He certainly has value, probably a late first, but I don't think a first and second. Jankowski is probably worth a project back; someone who used to be a good prospect, but hasn't really lived up to their promise.
I'm my opinion of course.

Then learn the language.

Jokes aside, anyone making the effort to type in a second language deserves all the benefits of the doubt.

Bad grammar is only a problem in posts that are confrontational anyway. If you're making an argument and use there instead of their, only a psycho would say something about it.

If you're calling someone out on the internet, have the good sense to spell check your work, and don't get pissy when the other person calls you out for being a sloppy bitch.

Frolik flipped for a pick than pick flipped for Reaves

Couturier has more trade value than any single player on the a Flames.

Personally, I'm most interested in trade ideas that involve Brodie, since I think he's probably getting moved. At least he should.

But I don't think he's worth more than a late first.

[Harry Lime]

The Flames arn't in a position to target other teams best players. They are going to have to target either someone who is blocked on a teams roster, or take advantage of a team in some serious trouble with the cap.

No Crosby's, Couturier's, or the like will be had this offseason.

People's expectations about Brodie's return are WAY out of whack. It's like they believe that 30 other GMs didn't watch the 5 playoff games against the Avs, or the preceding 25 regular season games.

Flames will be happy getting a 3rd round pick for him. A 2nd, and they will drive him to the airport today.

Boomer and Warrener were speaking a couple weeks back (just after elimination) about the perception on Brodie, and how people are going to be disappointed with the return. They speculated at the time that a 3rd or 4th would be the high end of the return.

I would bet $20 to the first comer on this board that there is no 1st round pick in return of a Brodie-for-pick deal. Who's in?

Hate to say it, but I largely agree with you. I think a late first is actually a pretty big stretch.
But he's way too productive, and plays too many minutes, to only fetch a 4th.

Brodie is good at skating the puck into the zone - for this reason he has been fairly effective in overtime. He's pretty good at stretch passes (which the team doesn't do as much of anymore). He's bad at keeping the puck in zone during powerplays, and his shot is overrated. Other teams always seem to capitalize on his frequent mistakes.

Overall, I don't think the Flames lose much by trading Brodie. But I do think he's a top 4 defenseman, and he should fetch more than a 3rd round pick.

I’ll take that $20 bet all day that Brodie brings back a first.

Kris Russel brought back a second, a prospect and a player. And that second was close to becoming a first. Defensemen are expensive.

Although it’s more likely there are other pieces involved in a trade or Brodie gets traded for a forward

Treliving won’t trade Brodie for a low pick.

I dont think he is dealt for a pick...but in a package for another player.

But in what world is a guy who played top pairing all year on the 2nd best regular season only worth a 3rd round pick?

I would think ideally you want him on your 2nd pairing but holy smokes, he isnt Oscar Fantenberg level of player.

I mean Fox just went for a 2nd AND a 3rd and has never played a game.

Lovejoy went for a player AND a 3rd.

[neo45]

McQuaid and Petrovic got more than people think Brodie can fetch lol

Talk about sky is falling

[Pickle Juice]

How about William Karlsson? Lots of rumours out there he might become available?

What’s it going to take to get him?

I’m not the biggest Brodie fan, but Boomer and Warrener are idiots if they think he would only fetch a 3rd or 4th round pick.

He will easily fetch a 2nd minimum.

Well this isn't true...still the offer would need to be more

[DeluxeMoustache]

So the team comes in first in the West.
Gio playing with Brodie doubles his production to become point per game and the Norris favourite.
Meanwhile, Brodie himself gets almost the same number of points Gio got last year, good for 34 (43rd in a 31 team league, without PP1 time. Tied for 22nd in even strength points) and is +29 (good for 9th in the league).
28 years old, in his prime, and a friendly 4.65 M cap hit

And he is going to get only a 3rd or 4th?

Tre should back up his truck full of lower round draft picks, find a few other Brodies out there, and build the best blue line in the league.

Yeah it is.

He’s young, signed to a great contract, has back to back 76 point seasons and is elite defensively.

He’s everything we dreamed Monny would be and is the Philly’s best player.

He is their Toews, Bergeron or Kopitar.
