They will ship him out when kylington proves he can handle the nhl / if Andrew MacDonald does good in his PTO with the flames

Meh, McDonald is not an NHL defenceman at this point in his career, and was barely one 3-4 years ago. He is AHL depth/vet presence a la Prout from last year (if anything). He will have zero bearing on a Brodie trade.
For the Flames to move Brodie, which is still entirely doable from my perspective:
1) Andersson has to claim that #2 role alongside Gio
2) Kylington has to be an everyday NHLer - don't this being a major hurdle
3) We still need the cap space for Chucky and AM
4) Frolik is untradeable
5) A cheaper option for 5/6 slot is returned
Hell, call up Jarmo and see if he wants Frolik for Harrington right now, solve the depth and cap issues and move on. While Tre's at it, send them Brodie for Werenski
