I like Brodie a lot but there are definite holes in his game and they've always been there. They've been masked somewhat by his great skating and passing.

Fair enough. However we are not comparing him to Gio.
Do you feel Brodie is superior or inferior to Larsson?
That's our trade comparable, if we are considering swapping him for a top forward.
