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.

Yes, he is and it's not even close.
Is Brodie struggling this year? Yes. But when he's on his game, Larsson doesn't come close to Brodie. Perhaps they're close this year because of Brodie struggling, but we all know Brodie's not playing like we know (and have seen) he can.
You think we're all homers? Ok, go to HF and see where TJ was ranked on their league defencemen ranking polls. That's an opinion of non-Flames fans (mostly, as there is a small Flames fan base there).
Larsson is a fine d-man but he can't handle Brodies jockstrap.
