But, most of the time, he played like an actual NHL d-man. Brodie has been much worse.

So you just said "Is he a top four D-man? Hell no" yet you were the one that had him in our top four next year that started this whole debate. You're claiming that he won't be expected to be good anymore if his contract is way cheaper, but that's moot. We need a strong top four which means acquiring a another top four defender, not paying someone who can't do it less money and then being okay with it.
We're trying to become a contender here, not an okay team.

So should we change our rebuild motto to "lowered expectations"?
