It happened a bit further up the page and prior to this, but I don't understand some peoples need to trash any signing/decisions the Flames make. Like getting two college free agents and immediately going to lamenting how Treliving didn't get RHD instead, as though getting the top ranked undrafted free agent is something you only do if he feels an immediate positional need?
Other than that, I feel like trying to understand Brodie's intent in what to do in free agency isn't something we can really guess at. Hockey is unpredictable and so is the business around it since that is super personal info. The only real information we have is that his wife has MS (and anything related to things that can help MS can be taken into consideration with speculation), he's a UFA, and that the Flames were willing to trade him for Kadri. The people who would know his decision, or if its even been made, is Brodie, his family, and possibly the Flames. All we can really do now is wait, both with Brodie's decision and anything with the NHL.
