I don't mean that as a shot against his value - he's good overall. But hard to put up a ton of points when you only shoot once a game. Look at the defenseman scoring leaders and you'll see Brodie is a huge outlier in terms of shots on net - http://www.nhl.com/stats/player?repo...regate=0&pos=D |
I'm not a big stats guy as far as the whole corsi ratings, etc go. I pretty much ignore them. Not to say they are useless, I'm just not that into following them or using them to drill into a players production.
I'm more basing my opinion on his PPG totals the last few years, his consistent point progression, and watching the guy play every game. I always liked him and thought he would be good......but this year he's taken a BIG step forward. I see a lot of Ryan Suter in him to be honest; elite skater and passer, not a huge, physically imposing dman but still VERY effective in his own zone.
He's going to turn lot of heads next year.
