Replacing Kyle Brodziak wouldn't be difficult for most teams. For Edmonton, however, it's akin to capturing the mares of Diomedes. Steve Tambellini's attempt at finding a penalty killing fourth-line center to win defensive zone faceoffs meant trading a sixth-round pick for Colin Fraser, a coup in the minds of the experts - they'd received the 99th and 133rd picks from the Minnesota Wild in exchange for Kyle Brodziak and the 161st selection. All Fraser had to do was replicate the performance of Brodizak.
