I must be watching a different Brodie. He's far from solid, he may grow into a poised defenceman but he's shakey out there. Makes bad reads, poor passes, inconsistent defensive zone play. All that is fine and to be expected but based on how I see him, overcoming those warts alone would project him to be a 3/4 guy. Just don't see the pedigree there to be a top pairing defenceman. I think his ceiling is somewhere higher than Leopold.
