Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
2007-08: Played his first full season in the QMJHL with the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles. In 69 contests, he logged 7 points (1 goal, 6 assists) in 69 games. The first-year defenseman maintained a level of consistency and simplistic approach, which earned him the team’s most improved player award.
2008-09: In his second season in the QMJHL, Brodeur posted 3 goals and 12 assists through 61 games. He posted an additional 1 goal and 3 assists in 11 playoff games.
2009-10: Posted 4 goals and 25 assists through 65 games in the QMJHL. Signed to an entry-level deal in May and assigned to the San Antonio of the AHL where in 2 games, he posted 1 assist.
2010-11: Brodeur played in four AHL games with San Antonio - two in October and two in March - and spent the bulk of his first pro season with Las Vegas in the ECHL. In his brief stint with the Rampage he was -1 with 2 PMs. Brodeuer skated in 52 of 72 games for Las Vegas as a 20-year-old and was +2 with 1 assist and 43 PMs. He did not appear in any playoff games in the Wranglers' five-game series with Idaho.
Talent Analysis
At 6’5, Brodeur is towering presence on the blue-line. He prefers to use his long reach to poke-check opposing players but needs to use his size to his advantage more in the physical department. Although he is strictly a stay-at-home defenseman, Brodeur does have some good puck-moving qualities to his game and is a decent skater for his size.
Future
Needs to improve his skill-set and become more of an assertive presence in his own zone if he hopes to see NHL duty. Projects as a depth/fringe minor-league player at this point.
