By the by, Brodie is putting up very comparable numbers to those of another fleet-footed defencemen at 23, that being Duncan Keith.

It's quite odd and I can't quite put my finger on it.
But my general perception of talk on this board is that we're very quick and willing to "overrate" flames yet the one player who's basically the most deserving of being overrated is the one who's mostly, by my view, underrated by fans. And that's TJ Brodie.
He's a already a top 2 defenceman (on a bad team mind you) at 23 years old. He's projecting to potentially be a number 1 defenceman and a good one at that. Yet people generally are pretty mum on his potential and his value to the team.
