Folks, I think we're witnessing the emergence of TJ Brodie. I mean, we saw it last year and the start of this year, but we're now seeing Hartley forcing Brodie into taking that next step.
I'm seeing Brodie out there against Datsyuk and Zetterberg, playing huge minutes, and looking excellent in that role. I don't like to speculate, but is Hartley playing Brodie in a top-2 role to see if he could potentially fill in if Bouwmeester is moved? Food for thought. I could be wrong.
Regardless, Brodie is one of the few fun players to watch on this team.
