Proposal: T.J. Brodie to your team

[YourAverageFan*]

You like that laugh emoji, probably because your argument is no more substantive than that. Honestly I see Brodie as a 2/3 (this season) closer to a 2 (thus far over his career). Alzner is a 2/3 closer to a 3 (also over his career). The attention I've been paying to hockey tells me, as a Flames fan, you better hope Brodie decides to come out of the funk he's in currently or you guys might actually end the season lower than your in-province rivals and in the lottery (currently tied for 4th worst record in the league). I understand the team is young and there will be growing pains but at the same time players like Brodie (not currently earning his salary) are as much of the problem as they are the solution. It's only a matter of time until people start to wonder when your rebuild is going to be over.

I like that laugh emoji because your arguments are completely terrible and you provide 0 evidence to back up your claims, yet all signs and proof point towards Brodie being the best player out of every player you've mentioned and said were more valuable than him. Brodie has proven to be an elite D-man. An elite #1 D-man. 20 bad games are not nearly enough to prove otherwise, especially considering his last 3 seasons which have been nothing short of spectacular.

Would Pacioretty + Sergachev for Brodie as a base work for the Flames ?

If the Flames were looking to move him, then for sure. The only problem would be the fact that Pacioretty is a LW. We have way too many of those. I think if we moved Brodie, we would be looking for a RW as part of the deal. That would be a solid solid base in a potential deal though if the Flames didn't have that problem.

Brodie just had the best game of the year.

Price just went up a 1st rounder

Brodie for marner?

Without Brodie this Flames defence has Engelland in their top 4. No to even debating trading any of the big 3.

Brodie for marner?

Value might be fair, but not a deal we make at the moment....2-3 years down the road? That would be the time to trade youth for now...

Come on.

In what world are Niskanen, Carlson and Alzner better than Brodie?

Those guys are all good players, but Brodie is easily the better player than them and a better asset.

I'd argue Carlson is but definitely not Niskanen or Alzner

TJ Brodie is a fantastic hockey player; but, I think some of these offers are ridiculous. Brodie and Tanev are pretty equal in value IMO Brodie maybe has a bit more value cause of his offense. But, I can't believe how little people offer for Tanev compared to Brodie. It's ridiculous. By the way Calgary should definitely not trade him Trade Giordano if you can instead.

Does it still result in Brodie leaving? Then that would be a no.

Brodie is not being traded.

He asked for a top-6 wing. Donskoi is a top-6 wing. Not really sure the issue? If you're just stat-watching, then you obviously don't appreciate what a good player he is. His counting stats are meh because 1) his shooting percentage is stupid low, 2) Couture's EV shooting percentage is stupid low, and 3) they have a revolving door of Ward/Boedker/Labanc on their LW, none of whom have been effective.

I thought people had their eyes opened to Donskoi after watching the playoffs last year, but I guess not.

Donskoi is a great player, but you're still talking about TJ Brodie. Donskoi + Braun doesn't get close to Brodie. Maybe something like Couture + Braun + Meier for Brodie + Monahan +.
