Sorry, but that is asinine. Brodie is easily better than:
Justin Schultz
Patrick Wiercioch
John Carlson
Jake Gardiner
Jason Demers
Jared Spurgeon
IMO, he is also clearly better than Del Zotto, Bogosian, Myers and Josi, but I readily admit those are debatable.
You can definitely say that Karlsson, Pietrangelo, Doughty, and probably Voynov are ahead of him, though he is gaining on Voynov ,IMO.
4 ahead
4 similar (I would put Brodie ahead of all of them)
6 clearly worse
Also, Brodie is trending up, gaining on the better ones and passing the weaker ones.
The crap Brodie takes on this site absolutely amazes me. I guess there is a lot of the "Flames=crap, other teams' players are better" attitude around here.
