So, his top season made him something like the tenth best Canadian defenseman. That makes him at best a top 20 guy in the NHL. That isn't greatness.
The Hockey News named 11 possible defensemen for Canada's 2016 World Cup Team and Brodie wasn't among them.

Sportsnet mentions Brodie among the ten and then ranks 8 of them ahead of him making Brodie at best, #9.
