To me, Brodie's ceiling is Brian Campbell, and I think we'd all be very happy with that (just not at 7M a year). Top 4 guy, undersized, but can move the puck well and skate his way out of trouble.

Erixon, if he absolutely maxed out, is a more defensively sound Visnovsky.

Now, of the two, I'd say the odds of reaching their max potential fall heavily in favor of Erixon; he looks REALLY polished for how young he is. But I hope both see time next year; we aren't one player away from contending, so we should give our best young players ice time so that the year after, when all our crap contracts are gone (except Stajan) we can really re-tool and go for it.
