In hits, Hamonic is more than doubles Brodie, 44 to 21. Stone had more hits than Brodie did last season, and Stone only played 14 games. In blocked shots, it isn't even a discussion. Hamonic's 167 is again almost double Brodie's 86. Brodie has Hamonic in points, but beyond that I like the underlying data to Hamonic's game more so than Brodie's. The thing about Hamonic is that he has proven he can be the guy on a defensive pairing. Brodie has shown he can only be effective with Mark Giordano riding shot gun with him. Either of them could be dealt, but I would prefer it be Brodie as I see him totally replaceable by players in the system. We do not have another Travis Hamonic waiting in the wings.

Yeah but apparently that data is just your opinion man.
