Flames fans had a really good point about this trade:
Why trade away a good defenseman when you are competing? If they were going to give away a player that is doing great in his position then they need something back that fills a role. Does Brown really fill a need they are lacking? I dont know much about their penalty killing, but maybe there. Other than that, I think this trade just doesn't make sense for the Flames.
Trading Oz for a bigger, meaner version of himself I really dont hate, HOWEVER, Oz can move the puck will and is growing more and more every game, I think Oz could be a better option long term. I do like the cost certainty on those two players for the next two Stanley cup runs though. But again, I dont see Brown getting it done.
