Brodie has 13 games as a #1. He famously played 26 minutes in a 9-0 loss and was somehow even. To me, his proper contract comparable is PK Subban; short term. 2 years. Win a Norris, we'll take care of you.
I think Brodie is a gem. Giving young D pay for potential type deals is a bad idea. He's 23, he doesn't need to make all his money on this deal.

I'm not disagreeing with your point - but if Brodie's camp are hell bent on a long term deal, lowball him.
Agents will always use a comparable who is a bit above where their guy is - you don't start negotiations from a position of weakness.
Using the above comparables as players he has yet to reach the level of, tell him a long term deal will average 3.3-3.5M or a short term deal will average 2.3-2.5M, then have potential to jump depending on performance.
