Alone, in the view of team canada decision makers, there are at least 7 Canadian defenseman who are better. Factor in all the other countries and there you have it.
At the end of their careers how many olmpics/world cups do you see Brodie & gaudreau playing in?
0/1 to 3/4 (for Jonny)?

Brodie is criminally underrated around the league which Flames fans are okay with. The people who watch him play regularly consider him a top-10 defenseman in the NHL.
I'd like to have a poll to see what percent of Flames fans would consider Brodie a better all round player than Giordano. My guess would be ~80% in favor of Brodie.
