The only thing holding Brodie back is his awful shot. Watch the video and count how many of his goals are flubbed shots that truck everyone on the ice. That overtime winner was a backhand that went up and off Rask's head and into the net.
His skating is elite, his stick positioning is elite, his positioning is also elite. He could stand to be a bit stronger, but it hasn't really hampered him. In the end it's his skating that makes him the great defenseman he is, but unless his shot improves he'll never be that great offensively
