I agree with GrateedEV that you have to look a little deeper at Brodie's TOI and quality of competition.

But I think those same points beg the question as to whether Brodie is being utilized properly. IMO, he would be more effective with a little less ice time , and somewhat more sheltered minutes.

If I were the coach, I would have Giordano and Hamilton doing more of the heavy lifting. And I would be lighting a fire under Hamilton's ass or threatening to replace him with Hamonic in that role.

I would put Stone back with Brodie, and I would give them easier matchups, and softer zone starts.

I think part of Brodie's problem this year is that he is being asked to do too much. Gulutzan is running him as his #1, and while I love the guy, it's too much workload for him.
