I think there are some players who are more comfortable on their backhand. Personally I am. You can protect the puck better as you can extend your stick further. Also a bit easier to lob softer sauce passes due to the leverage difference. Also being on your off wing in your own zone opens up options for bank passes off the boards around the opposition up to a winger.
It makes sense that a player would prefer to be on their backhand side. However, it doesn’t mean they are unable to play the other side. I think Brodie’s problems are deeper than this.
