CP: “Brodie demoted!”
Gio with Brodie is a Norris candidate (derailed by bicep tear)
Gio with Hamilton is a top pairing D who gets 40-50 points
Gio with Brodie is Norris favourite

That is not coincidence.
You can’t argue with +29. I’ve said it before. To hear it on CP, Brodie could be +50 if only it wasn’t for... Brodie.
I get the contract situation. I’d like to see TJ back next year. He is not the problem. Hamonic and Hanifin were buried and it was tough to watch.
I don’t know if it’s shiny-new-toy-itis or what, but Andersson is maybe ready for top 4, not top 2. And in top 2, definitely needs sheltering. Kylington was good in terms of where he should be developmentally, but he’s not ready.
If this is the window, and next year has expectations, you probably want a guy of Brodie’s caliber.
Ok, whatever. Resume the bitching about Brodie.

No, Brodie's mistake is constantly making boneheaded passes/ plays, playing timid and weak in the corners, and being directly responsible for several notable goals against in this playoff series alone.
The defense is better when TJ plays less.
