Needs to simplify things up and to be mentally prepared. Hamonic is good but not the type to carry a pairing. Brodie can but he appears to be mentally checked out. When his head is in the game he can carry a defence pairing even if it was Bartkowski stapled to his back, but it's as if the Monstars had stolen his talents and hockey IQ to make a hockey sequel to Space Jam.
Brodie is good with Stone because although they do get hemmed in sometimes, Stone is fearless and doesn't mind taking the lead with his slapshot and being physically engaged. It's why their goals for were absurdly high somehow despite being cratered in possession. Kind of like a Gaudreau Monahan esque type of playstyle meshing synergy. Brodie pass. Stone rips it.
