Brodie is awesome. His career ppg has gone as follows:
0.26
0.30
0.38
0.51
0.70
Nice progression.
Other bright spots, and important ones because they pertain to the future of this team:
Brodie - As discussed above.
Hamilton - Has improved tremendously since the his slow start.
Bennett - Having a stellar rookie season, despite a slow start offensively.
Gaudreau - A massive sophomore season.
Monahan - Leveled off somewhat in his third season, but nothing to worry about IMO. He's 21 and if what he is now is all he ever becomes, then there is nothing wrong with a 20-30 goal, 50-60 point solid two way center.
Those are the bright spots you want to have in a rebuild. Much better than having the team be lifted by career years from 30+ year old players like Hudler and Wideman.
