The kid has a knack for getting out of would-be sticky situations on the ice. 90% of the time he makes the right play. Not only that but the kid's got Bouwmeester-like stamina. He doesn't get rattled easily.
He's only 22 and I think he's a major piece in the rebuild. I think the only think I'd like to see out of him more is some offense. I mean, it's not like he doesn't try offensively, but I'd like to see more points out of him.

Think Brodie's issues offensively are similar to Bouwmeester's. He doesn't have a really good slapshot, so he's not going to score a lot of goals from the point. He's going tohave to use his skating and join the rush as the 4th man in, which he's seems to be doing more ad the season progressed. I'm also surprised by his lack of points on the powerplay as well. He's one of our few players that doesn't have issues entering the offensive zone, moves the puck well and doesn't panic easily. For some reason it hasn't translated to points.
