Having had the opportunity to watch Brodie a bit more, I am thinking that the Flames got a steal in the fourth round. Brodie is turning into a similar player to a guy who will be attending his second WJC this year and was drafted by Montreal a year before him in the second round: PK Subban. His skating and vision are very good at the Junior level.
He's defineatly emerged as a force at the OHL level, although adding 10-15 pounds of good weight will be necessary before he can play in the pros.
I think he'll end up being a legitmate PP QB who, when paired with a more physical partner can eat 20-25 minutes a night.
