Sure, and that is what makes this a gamble.
We have seen Brodie play amazingly well, and we have seen him regress. I think right now Brodie's confidence is kind of shot. Will the new coach come in and turn his game around? We don't know.
All I know is that I would rather take that chance and see if he can get his game back. As I pointed out earlier this season, if Brodie can regain his form back, there is no other defencemen on the team that I would rather have with the puck when the Flames are down a goal and needing some offence. His vision and playmaking is top-notch, and so was his defending. It is a gamble, but at this point I think it is a good gamble to take.
