Brodie is exactly four weeks into a 3-6 week timetable for his return from a broken hand. It is unknown how many practices Brodie will need before he makes his season debut, but it is positive news that he will travel with the team.

This is a tough break for Brodie and the Flames to start the season. If he misses just three weeks, he would only miss the first week of the season, but there is a chance he could be sidelined until the first week of November. With Brodie out, the Flames will have to find someone to fill in—Tyler Wotherspoon and Jakub Nakladal are likely the front runners.
Brodie could have had a chance to play in all 82 games, but will not get that chance as he will be held out for rest. He finishes with 11 goals and 30 assists (41 points) in 81 games this season.
Brodie has come into his own in the last two years playing alongside Mark Giordano. The 24-year-old is an excellent skater with a great first pass and hard shot. On Sunday he scored his third goal of the season, which gives him seven points on the year and a six-game point streak. He was featured in our 'Fantasy Minute' and should be added if he is available in your league.
