I really want to move this GDT back to the Stars and the Flames, but I'll say one thing on this.
Brodie is a RD, even if he's a LHS, that's what he had played from 2013 to 2016, his three best seasons to that point, some of which were outstanding.
Hamilton is a RD.
Identifying 2RD as a weak spot was a management issue and never should have happened. The fact that we continued Brodie on the left the next season was a huge mistake, as it was his worst season.
