As much as Brodie can sort of fit some of those criteria (plays on right side, all situations), they already have a similar guy in Gardiner. Strong skating, LH top 4 guy who can look great but also prone to incredibly mind blowing bone headed mistakes.

Gardiner and Brodie are a perfect comparison. Sometimes they amaze you by the plays they make (good and bad).
I posted this before but replace
Gardiner with
Brodie here and I think you have a lot of Flames fans on CP.

What do you think of Jake Gardiner?
Turnover machine. He’s been getting killed this year, he’s not even putting up the shot numbers he used to.
Should we look at trading him?
Definitely.
Why would anyone want him?
Well, he’s a clear top four, he’s a good skater, he produces points, he normally does have good shot nu—
Why don’t we keep him?
...he makes me angry sometimes.
This guy is crap, so we have to trade him, but people will trade a lot for him, because...I guess they’re much dumber than us?

Sometimes I read the Flames game threads and it sounds like Brodie is pretty bad this year but people expect the Leafs to give up Marner for him?
