I wouldn't go that far yet, but he keeps progressing nicely indeed. The guy just keeps impressing me, and watching him make those beauty passes for two goals while the gift to the hockey world, Justin Schultz, kept coughing up pucks in his own zone was a real treat.
Very impressed with Brodie, especially since he regularly plays 22-26 minutes now. I thought his ceiling would be a 2nd pairing defenseman, but now, I'm thinking he could easily be a #2 defenseman or a #3 at worst. Very encouraging. Also have to give credit to the coaching staff both this year and last year for pairing him with veterans all the time, you can see that he's learned a lot.
