Although Brodie would likely be in and out of the lineup, if it's on a 3games in / 3game out rotation or something like that, it could be really good for his development. By letting him play a few games in a row he can apply what he learns, and by getting him out of the linup on a regular schedule, he can boost his strength over the course of the season, and work more conistently with the coaches to improve his game. It would also keep the pressure on Pardy, Carson, and Sarich (if the are the other bottom 3 defensemen) to perform and allow them some days off if they get a small, but nagging injury.
