I'm not I'd say Brodie is the best skater...but he has some amazing talent when it comes to getting around.

Certainly he doesn't have the best top speed nor the best first few steps. Both are excellent but I don't think he leads in either regard. I think you could argue he isn't even the fastest skater on the team with Byron and his Lombardi-esc speed (and the Lombardi ability to finish breakaways). What stands out is that he has no problem maintaining it throughout a game and he's so efficient that it doesn't often land him in trouble.
