I would have easily taken 20 year old Brodie over 22 year old Nurse and Benning. Brodie already had an elite play-making and passing ability, along with an on ice intelligence you can't teach. Brodie was a beauty. It was clear to fans, who were lucky enough to see 20 year old Brodie tear it up in 2010-2011 training camp, that he was special.
Every single time I have watched Nurse play, he has stood out as someone who continually makes basic mistakes. He could still end up to be good, but I don't see him any higher than a top 4. Benning is alright. I would take both over Wideman though
