Or the fact that Brodie was actually playing his absolute best hockey towards the end of the year, before Reeves came and gave him a concussion.

Hamonic's poor play? And calling him a #5? He struggled for a couple of months when the season started when he first joined us, but was very good after that.
Why do all Brodie supporters feel the need to put down Hamonic just to prop up Brodie?
The fact of the matter is if Brodie was as good as some claim, he'd be able to play like a top pairing defenseman with someone other than Giordano for more than a small stretch of time. But he's pushing 30 and has not shown that. Being a #3 isn't a bad thing.
