My main point is Brodie is no where near as poor of a player as he is portrayed here, and we will see that with the return on draft day.
For the record: I want Brodie gone (mostly because we can, and it’ll upgrade the F group), and think Gio is hands down our backbone.

Most fans realize that Burns and Reilly are not great defensively but as with players like Karlsson teams are willing to live with that because of elite offensive talent. Brodie doesn't produce like those players so it's a harder to live with. He's still a good player and most of us realize this but with our goaltending situation the way it is, would probably rather if someone has to go from the blue line that it be the guy that coughs up the puck the most.
