Quick question, Brodie was taken in the 4th round back in 2008 in a draft stacked with top-rated defensemen. Based on his play the last couple years where do you think he'd rank among them?
Were talking about Doughty, Bogosian, Pietrangelo, Schenn, Myers, Teubert (lol), Karlsson, Gardiner, Sbisa, Del Zotto, Cuma, and Carlson that were all first rounders. After that there's still Voynov, Josi, Schultz, and Stone all taken before Brodie.
You'd have to rank Doughty, Pietrangelo, and Karlsson ahead of him. After that I suppose Carlson and perhaps Voynov are debatable, but it's pretty amazing that in a draft stacked with dmen Brodie is among the best.
