You'd have to think that Brodie is feeling a lot more confident going into this season. He knows he's gonna be paired with a capable second pairing partner, which takes a lot of weight off his shoulders.
Being paired with Wideman for long stretches I believe really took him away from playing his type of game. Instead of the mindset of jumping up and joining the rush he likely felt he had to be much more responsible as Wideman did not have the speed to get back to his own zone quickly.
I hope playing with a solid responsible stay at home type partner such as Haminic will allow Brodie to play his game
