- Irving: Jonas Hiller. He's a goalie who seems to rely on keeping his style in line with the puck. If that starts to go, he'll eventually give up a goal. Hiller is very much the same way, being a great "1st save" goalie, but can't keep up continual pressure unless he can reset his positioning.

I actually think Brian Campbell is a good comparison to TJ Brodie. Both players skate very well and like to rush the puck. From what I've seen Brodie has a similar skating style and shot style as Campbell and they play similar styles. I think Campbell is a more physical player, but offensively Brodie has potential to be similar. Brodie and Campbell are of similar size and build and Brodie has had similar numbers to Campbell's career numbers in 4 years of OHL and first year of pro in the AHL.
