I prefer a guy like Brodie who when given time on the PP or easier matchups has shown he can put up some offence plus be able to defend a bit.
I don't think he's a 5 million dollar player myself, but I'd given him that before I give it to Barrie.

Regardless of scoring on a slapper, it typically moves the forward up to the D and opens the box abit.
