Hard to tell where these guys are at. Sieloff basically lost a year and a half worth of development due to injuries. Wortherspoon is slowly being eased into action. Have to think that Schlemko will be given the #6 role year, but Wotherspoon and some other guys might challenge him. Diaz will be out.
There will be a pretty good log jam next year IMO. Our top 5 is set for at least another year and then Wideman will probably be traded. But you're probably set for another 4-5 years with Russell, Gio and Brodie.
All 3 of whom have shown they can be top pairing defensemen. So our depth is pretty great.

I would agree that we certainly didn't see him at the level he's at now, Brodie in fact have this site's attention as he looked like a steal right after the draft, and was in the discussion for the world junior team.
He didn't make it, but looked great at camp.
So I think he was on the radar well before he made it, but not to top 2 extent.
