All a made up story. The real story is the talent was sucked out of him by an alien hockey team named the MonStars.

No, the real story is just that a talented offensive minded defensemen vastly outperformed his historical average level (leading back to Junior) when placed beside one of the flames all time best defensemen in his prime, leading many to think that Brodie was better than he actually was. Brodie seems to be mostly the same old brodie, Hamonic is just less good at bailing him out than Gio was.
