I think the kid has played great. His last game against Colorado was very impressive, he looked like a man against boys, which I know isn't saying much since the Avs suck, but the fakes and the hesitations he was using to elude forecheckers and backcheckers was astounding.

I don't really know what his ceiling is but I know that a few years ago Flames brass (I think it was Playfair) said that Brodie's ceiling was Duncan Keith and I haven't seen anything to suggest that he can't become that type of player. I think at this stage, Brodie is a very similar player to Cam Fowler, who many consider one of the best young defencemen in the game.
