Considering Brodie is the exact type,style and price Toronto was looking for ,why imagine what it would be like to have the overpriced and lesser player in Shultz
I thought it could be comparable to the acquiring of Muzzin in 2019, both him and Schultz are Stanley cup-winners with a lot of experience playing with other great d-men.
But Brodie may be a better fit, we'll have to see.
"much better" lol .... both depend on what player you're getting... risky reward signing only difference is Washington took 2 years, 1 million less of a risk
It's about the fit. Brodie can actually complement Rielly and play a much safer game, which was sorely needed. Schultz may be cheaper but he's a very different style of player and he wouldn't have solved the problem.

this is the best take ive read so far! i agree 100%

I'll disagree, Brodie has been pretty Consistent wasn't Overpaid and literally describes as "the player of need" has played top pair minutes for a few seasons straight and was the catalyst in Gio getting a Norris

Anytime you give a 4year deal to a 30 + year old you take a risk. "consistent" he had 2 bac 2 back 40 + point years (41 then 45) then saw it drop last 3 years to 36, 32 ( both his defesive numbers were awful) 34 ... i would say Gio helped improve his defensive numbers or ill agree it was a give and take. this year he was on pace for 24 points.... sounds like a consistent player. Schultz has also seem his points drop but im not calling him "consistent" i do agree that Brodin is what the Leafs need but his cap hit isnt great (its fair) for a team thats has 3 players making over 10 million

in a sense but if you had to traded 2 other players to make him fit you would be missing those players also... Plus i imagine hes getting 7 years and a NMC... might look like a Keith last 3 years of his deal.

similar risk.... 13 year deal at 24 is actually more reasonable that a 7 year deal at 31... he will be 31 at the start of the season. He's the best player i can compare to AP. Keith at 30 had 61 points in 79 games. Basically started to decline offensively every year after
