They don’t really compare at all. Well they’re left shots. And human.

Up til this year I don't think we ever thought of Brodie as a defensive specialist, but it's true. He just doesn't strike fear with hits, but as long as he plays smart position and uses his feet, he's quite good defensively. he can get physically overmatched down low, but he can make a great first pass out. Arguably his big mistakes have come when he overdoes it offensively and gives the puck up at the offensive blue line.
Gotta say, I wasn't unhappy with Gus' skating last night. The PP difference is going to be big.
