Brodie wasn't 'replaced', but I think the transition game will be better this year, not worse.
Also not replaced was Hamonic, who was probably the weakest link on transition.
Andersson and Hanifin will get bigger roles, and they are pretty good on that front. Tanev is also better transitionally than some posters seem to think. Valimaki is also good, as is Nesterov.
I not only think we're fine without Brodie, I think we're improved overall.
