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.

I'm not talking about Corsi or anything like that. Just shots he takes on net himself.
Brodie is 22nd in the league in d-man scoring with 22 points in 33 games. Of the guys above him - the lowest shot total is Duncan Keith with 64 (and after that the next lowest guy has 85 shots). Brodie has 38 shots on net. Just hard to get points if you aren't getting the tips/rebounds etc.
