Yes, the only way we could afford T. J. Brodie is if his cap hit was $1.25 million. And you haven't accounted for any of that retention (even if Toronto only retains 25%) in this ACGM, so you're over the cap limit.

1. SJ isn't going to eat 16 million dollars on defenseman that just won his what 3rd Norris trophy.
2. Definitely not accepting that return for Karlsson without retention let alone with retention
3. I get that from your POV Kunin is just a throw in, but unfortunately he has some value, I'd say he'd have similar value to kerfoot all those years us leaf fans were including him in every agm

The Kings don't have any use for Brodie, with or without retention.

when will the delusion Leaf ACGMs stop

(I know, not ever)
