Lots of talk about lefties and righties and the right mix, maybe getting Brodie back to the left side gives him a chance as I guess he won't make it as a left shooting right defenseman.

I doubt that was the primary motivation. I think the times we've paired two lefties together (Gio/Brodie) AND two righties together (Engelland/Hamilton lately) has made the coaches and management question the pairings. With Wideman coming back soon the problem doesn't go away, in fact we get another righty.
Righties: Hamilton, Engelland, Nakladal, Wideman
Lefties: Gio, Brodie, Jokipakka, (Wotherspoon on emergency recall)
So when we have more righties than lefties I don't think we can afford to be pairing two lefties together.
