Adapted easily from midget to junior to the AHL to the NHL:

going from 27 games in midget AAA to over 70 games in the NHL. Spending a minimal amount of time at each level before reaching the NHL.
Brodeur also made a very smooth and beneficial transition from the old leather pads to the new synthetic pads. This enhanced his skating, stamina and athleticism. Compare his GP in midget and junior to the NHL. Also compare his SV% in junior to the NHL.
He regularly adapted to coaches without missing a beat.
He also adapted to the trapezoid and other rule changes that were designed to take away his puckhandling abilities.
