I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Erixon is closer to the NHL than Brodie, but there still is a significant possibility that Erixon does go to the AHL first.
I say Erixon is closer, because of competition. He has played against professional players for 3 seasons. He is very stout and get's high praise, as JW said, for his 2way play. I think He sticks in Camp next year and brodie is up and down more often. I say brodie has more work to do defensively than Timmy. Erixon also has good offensive capabilities, so it's not too much of a trade off.
PS. I think that Brodie might make an appearance late, so does that count?
Or is the initial question in need of refinement? a la, who establishes themselves first?
Alas, they both intrigue me. Darryl was severely underrated for his ability to draft defensemen. I still got hopes for pelech, baldwin and negrin.
And does anybody know the OHL scout that darryl religiously turned to for FA defensemen from the O?
