The last month of that year with Bouwmeester leaving a hole in the roster... pretty well the same situation as we have now and Brodie got bumped up from the 16-19 minutes he was getting to 24 minutes for the last 15 games.
Was Brodie that much of a better 22 year old than Hamilton?

Hartley's first year is 2012-13.
Brodie played 47 games, averaging 20:13 in ice time per game. He finished the season with 2 goals, 12 assists and was -9. That's a 0.29 PPG pace, and pro-rates to 24 points over 82 games.

To this point, Hamilton has played 68 games under Bob Hartley. He has averaged 19:37 per game. A whole one shift less per game than TJ Brodie was getting at the same age. With one less shift per game, he has 10 goals and 21 assists, -11, and a 0.45 PPG pace. Pro-rated, he's on pace for 37 points.

I think Hartley knows what he's doing.
