And I don't think Brodie has ever used it as a crutch. However, the side does matter for some players more than others. And who your partner is matters. And the style of play that the coach wants from you matters.
I think all of these things are factors that are influencing his play.
As for the forwards playing wrong side, I think it is partially a function of the available players, and partially a function of the fact that it doesn't matter as much for wingers.

In at least one interview he mentioned it.
The reason I mentioned forwards was because you said GG was forcing "the team" to move to traditional sides. I don't see it, aside from Brodie.
If Brodie can't manage the switch, I'd rather trade him, Especially as I think the Gio factor is much bigger.
