No coincidence Brodie at 25 is just now showing he's the Flames best defender.

Some fans are completely crazy to expect Hamilton to walk into a #1 role at age 22. this kid is as close to the total package for a dman as you can get...give him a little time.
I still remember a defender in the early 90's who after having a great rookie season at age 21 struggled off and on for the next couple of seasons before getting it together for good, he went on to win 7 Norris trophy's(first one at age 31) and 4 Stanley cups(first one at age 26) I'm sure I don't need to say his name.
