Description

Random idea that popped into my head while listening to the latest 31 thought podcast.
Would this be an even trade? or would TOR / OTT have to add more? Personally, I feel TOR would have to add more, but I just wanted a template of what the core deal would look like.
TOR gets the top Dman to a superb contract in case rielly leaves/gets traded next year, and gets Brady to fill the hole that Hyman left.
TOR also signs Brady to a 1 x $2.4 mill due to cap space and such, and will give him a massive pay raise once Kessel's contract comes off the books next year. (2.4 to 4 mill will be the one year, and he'll probably make 5.5-6 with the multi-year)

Ottawa gets their superstar they are looking for and can market, along with potential Top 4/2 dman in Sandin, and a late 1st rounder, in a draft that i believe is supposed to be solid next year (not 100% sure, just remember Marek mentioning something about that).
