Maybe some of you think My praise is a little too high. But I don't think the comparison is that far off.

Consider two things, 1 the Devils won their first cup in Niedermayer's age 21 year and were an elite team throughout this period while the Flames were borderline terrible throughout. Also, the 90's were higher scoring than it has been recently.
Age 21
Niedermayer - 48 GP 4 G 15 A 19 PTS
Brodie - 54 GP 2 G 12 A 14 PTS
Age 22
Niedermayer - 79 GP 8 G 25 A 33 PTS
Brodie - 47 GP 2 G 12 A 14 PTS (24 pts if same GP)
Age 23
Niedermayer - 81 GP 5 G 30 A 35 PTS
Brodie - 81 GP 4 G 27 A 31 PTS
Age 24
Niedermayer - 81 GP 14 G 43 A 57 PTS
Brodie - 81 GP 11 G 30 A 41 PTS
Age 25
Niedermayer - 72 GP 11 G 35 A 46 PTS
Brodie - 48 GP 4 G 32 A 36 PTS
PPG pace for each
Niedermayer - 0.526
Brodie - 0.437
Not a bad comparison between them.
