Brodies's body of work justifying a spot on an NHL roster was 3 exhibition games.
Robbie Schremp had more far better exhibition games than Brodie.
If Brodie was NHL ready he would have dominated the AHL like almost NHL star Ander Erikkson did in his AHL season 45 pts in 64 games.
Brodie 34 pts in 68 games does not show he is anywhere close to stepping in and being a succesful puck moving PP d-man at the NHL level.
Carson and Mikkleson have put up better numbers at the AHL level in their very limited time there. If either one of them somehow ends up with the Heat they would be expected to put up more than 34 points in a complete season.
With the addition of the 4 new offensive d-men to the Flames Organization he has dropped on the organizational depth chart from 4th behind Bouwmesster, Gio, white/Babchuck to 7th or 8th behind Butler, Smith, Wilson and Henry and maybe Carson.
Brodie needs to figure out that a 40-50 pt season as a top 2 d-man for the Heat is what he needs to get a real look in the NHL.
