Fully agree.
Use the 20-something 1st round pick and get your put you over the top piece at the deadline. Whatever they think won't 'mess' with chemistry according to Conroy.
Because you have 3 legit NHL d-men with upside pushing into the line up and Brodie is going to put up around 40 points with a top 5 plus-minus rating that you can capitalize on after your playoff run.
As much as I love Brodie, between Valimaki, Kylington, Andersson and Hanifin's development, those shoes can be filled.
