Let's not get so defensive.
An outside opinion on the matter is worth considering when you haven't had PO success in five years.
I do know we needed more stay at home defensemen that could actually play than we were dressing each night. (Hamonic was advertised as that but honestly the guy didn't do much at an nhl level after coming here)
The current formula wasn't working. So replacing brodie with more of the same in Barrie would just put us down the same path. Tanev gives us a bit of a different look.
