If by incredible you mean normal defensive plays that guys who play 22 minutes a night make then yes I agree. When Brodie is on he is one of the best dmen in the league no question about it. His skating is elite but somehow still gets beat wide a lot. Something is amiss with him and he can be better but it's turning into almost a 2 season dip now if you include the latter half of 2015 as well.
And his point totals are inflated by playing on the pp. I really don't think his offensive instincts are much above average.
