Love Brodie, I think he has a very high ceiling and will be even better in a couple of years when he fills out a little more. It is tough to talk about elite defensemen as in my mind there are very few in the league. There are some good ones but very few elite ones.
One's partner also says a lot about how good a D man is. Look at Weber and Suter. I thought for sure that Weber carried that pairing but now, I'm not so sure. Same with Keith and Seabrook, how do they fair if they ever get split up. Brodie is the main reason I think landing Jones in the draft is an excellent idea. Two young guys growing up together anchoring the defense for years would be awesome.
I love defensemen and I love to watch Brodie play.
