When St. Louis Blues fans hear the name Kyle Brodziak, the term best player does not spring to mind very quickly. However, in terms of what he brought to the team, night in and night out, there is an argument to be made that he was up there in the ranks.
Now, before people’s heads pop off and start rolling down the street, I’m not comparing Brodziak to the Blues best skill players like for like. Based on skill level, expectation, actual production and sheer will, Brodziak is someone the rest of the team could learn a thing or two from.
