He was a beast defensively. He was a beast on zone transitions. IIRC, he was also a beast on shot suppression, no?
This is going to be a giant hole to fill. Yes, you want change in your lineup when the lineup under-performs, but Brodie has been fantastic in every single playoff series in Calgary.
I am really curious what Treliving has planned. Not being critical of Treliving here - I don't know who he has been talking to about replacing Brodie with, but man, that's a big hole to fill. Toronto I think just made one of the best signings - 4 years of Brodie for 5 million? That's an awesome deal for them. No 'expected years of decline' at all in that deal. I am so curious to know what Treliving has on the burner right now.
