Faulk for Brodie and a Williams Re-Signing

I really like this idea. If we can get TJ Brodie to resign I'd be really okay with this

I actually think that Brodie doesn't even need to be re-signed for this to be a good swap in the Canes' favor. Because of the league-wide RFA nightmare and the Canes having Aho completely locked up, they can once again take advantage of a team's cap situation and squeeze another Day 2 lottery ticket out of it.

An interesting idea from the Calgary perspective assuming both guys don't have these respective teams on their NTC's. We need the cap savings this year, but there is risk in the fit. Gio + Brodie has had Gio in the Norris conversation (and a win this year) each of the two full seasons they played together. With Gio + Faulk, who knows how the fit will be. There is also risk for both teams in trying to retain these guys. I feel like that risk is greater for Calgary as US players typically prefer to play in the states once they get to UFA, and Faulk would be going from a market where he isn't under the microscope to one were he would be.

There is a lot of former Canes infrastructure in your organization, though, and vice-versa. Lindholm, Hanifin, Derek Ryan, and Bill Peters are all with you guys. If there's any Canadian team that Faulk would be comfortable enough with in re-signing, it's likely the Flames. The Canes' risk IMO is mitigated by the 3rd round pick, so even if they treat Brodie as an own-rental, they will still get a total of 11 picks in a reportedly loaded draft.

Andersson did too. Brodie has benefited from gio far more than the other way around. Andersson will be in the top pair.
