If you would take a RHD over a clearly superior LHD simply because of his handedness then you are doing it wrong.
And no, points don't tell the entire story, but Brodie passes all the eye-tests as well. He is very simply, a far superior hockey player to Larsson.

Hes also got 3 years more in the league. Lets revisit points at 26 years old when Larsson gets there.
EDIT: The gap will be much closer.
Want to talk about "eye-test"? Who's eye? Ask GM's around the league what their Eye tells them, not the Biased fan of a team that a player plays for.
One major thing not one of you have acknowledged which is telling... They are completely different types of players. Larsson can play a shutdown role. Brodie, not so much.
Brodie is absolutely a better skater. But you cant teach a 6'1, sub 200 lb player how to be 6'3 and over 200 lbs.
And Larsson is a fine skater..
Thje point here is, and I feel you guys arguing with me are confused as to the point im making..
Im not arguing Brodie is inferior to Larsson, nor am I arguing Larsson is better than Brodie.
I am saying, contrast to Vinnie's post, Brodie is NOT miles ahead of Larsson which he was claiming.
