This coming May is the 40th anniversary of the Atlanta Flames moving to Calgary. To commemorate this occasion, we’re counting down the Top 40 Calgary Flames in history.
Coming in at #28 is TJ Brodie.
Let’s be honest here: the Flames’ drafting throughout the 1990s and 2000s was pretty rough. But in Brodie, the Flames found a gem – a reliable blueliner who could fill a role on their blueline for a long while.
Drafted from the OHL in 2008, Brodie went pro in 2010 and actually made the Flames out of training camp as a 20-year-old.
