What Brady should sign for

Created by: BCAPP
Team: 2021-22 Ottawa Senators
Initial Creation Date: Sep. 28, 2021
Published: Sep. 28, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Just below his draft mate Svechnikov.

The fact that he's rejected an 8*8 and everyone isn't calling him crazy just shows their good negotiators. He's a damn good player, but he's asking for well more than he's done.

He's been a 25/50 guy. Yes in his first three years post draft, but no forward that I can think of has gotten the kind of money in the cap era without putting up 35+ goals and/or 70+ points or at least pace. Especially not at 21

A bridge deal makes the most sense for him in my opinioin, but I can understand why OTT is apprehensive to go with a shorter contract. A 3 x $5.5m deal just feels right, but it won't happen.

There is risk if they sign him to 3 * 5.5 he takes another step and becomes a 35/80 player and then they're paying him 10-10.5 mil for term. Flipside if he stays a 25/50 guy 8 million is really expensive, even as the physically dominant beast he is.

Still I doubt he accepts 5.5 on a bridge. He appears to have very high opinions of his own worth and I think he wants his bros money

I agree with all of that. I don't see it happening, but in a vacuum it makes the most sense to me. They should honestly just let him sit at this point, he's asking for the moon right now.

Im in agreement but we'll have to see. Marners camp beat the leafs management in a similar stalemate where he should have been a 9 million dollar player and wanted 11.6 like Matthews. He got 10.6.

Brady should be a 6.5 million dollar player (let's say Wilson plus a bonus for being better younger) but he wants something north of 8 (never have heard his ask).

We'll see how it plays out

If the reports are true and he rejected 8 x 8, just trade him. We can get a great return

I thought the rejection of 8*8 was fairly firm? I haven't followed that closely but it's just silly to reject that.

My other big issue for the sens is dependent if stutzle can be a C. If not it will be hard to build a championship roster with the top two players wingers in stutzle and tkachuk. They'll need Norris or perhaps pinto or a future piece to take another step or two to be a stud c.

Tkachuk is an incredible best winger or second best forward. But check out Columbus with Nash (who was better). You need the stud C

I’m all for Tkachuk + Player/prospect + pick for Eichel

My issue for Buffalo is the same thing. I don't believe in Mittlestadt/Cozens to be a stud c. But if they'd accept tkachuk and Sanderson and white or something I could see it working

Actually as a Leafs fan I'd hate it as I think that would make the sens forward core really scary. Lol.

Stutzle and Eichel on line 1
Norris and Batherson on line 2
Formenton and Pinto on line 3

No chance they’d get Sanderson and Tkachuk. That’s ridiculous

Trade him to the canucks. Our GM doesn't mind giving up first rounders. Especially if you do us a solid and pick up Pearson or Myers to help us with our cap gymnastics

They’d need a borderline star young player back in the trade or package him for someone even better than Brady.

Something like
Brady for Dach +
or Brady + for Eichel

Could get a great return at 8x8. If it's a lot higher, still a pretty good return, somewhere, probably, but look at all the teams not signing EP. He might just hold out a while to see what happens and then sign.

I wouldn't want in on a Eichel trade if I was OTT.
I know you think 1C....but he has health problems and the issues relating around it.
If you fuse the neck, he loses mobility and hence vision on the ice. Which is why he probably doesn't want a fusion.
If you do an artificial disk, that's never been done with a player before because they aren't made to withstand impacts, aka hits into the glass etc... god knows what you get when that goes wrong.
Which is why the team doesn't want that.

Why get caught up in that mess. If you are going to move Brady you should get a healthy younger player back, not a guy who could end up on IR his whole contract or not the same player due to injury.

I think that in general is what is holding down him being traded. Teams aren't willing to risk it. The cost is too high for something that isn't assured.

Seems to appear that Brady does not want a long term deal with Ottawa. So what is his bridge contract for the 78th highest scoring winger in the league.? 6.5m X 3 maybe.

Ottawa can't really afford to cave, and they don't really need to. They aren't expecting to contend this year, so it doesn't really hurt them if he misses time. They have young players that will be watching for their next contracts.
If they've offered 8x8 or a bridge at a lower amount, that's reasonable. If he's being unreasonable, sit him out. Save $8M this year and try again next year.
