Brodie on the PP is tricky. I'd argue he's one of the players you most want part of the rush to gain the zone on the PP, but his shot isn't good enough once they're set up. His passing and mobility are great, but when the PK knows he's not much of a threat to shoot, they can focus on covering the passes easier.
Its why Gio and Rasmus both QB nicely. Hanifin was working well the 2nd half last year, but mainly by distributing to Ryan. It sounds like Hanifin really worked on his shot though this summer.
