Description

Brodie is great, did he look good in the playoffs especially in the first round? No but most of the leafs didn't. But at this point if we keep Nylander it's either Samsonov or Brodie where's one's cap hit goes to the other. Unless Samsonov takes like a similar deal he signed when he got here but since he signed a 1 year prove it deal it wouldn't make any sense. Matt Murray didn't help lower his potential contract either being unavailable a bunch this season.

Can we trade Brodie? Iunno but he's on a 1 year deal worth 5 million. Playoff teams with 5 million in cap space where we can't afford to take any cap back is very unlikely imo. And why would a non-playoff team take on a veteran on a 1 year deal worth 5 million and not send any bad cap back without a sweetener?

We can buyout Brodie and sign Samsonov easily. We can keep Brodie, trade Samsonov and ride woll and desmith or someone else. Keep both and ride a 19-20 man roster, no accruing cap space since we're in LTIR and just pray no one gets hurt. OR start moving guys like jarnkrok and lijligren, replace them with cheaper guys and try to squeeze and 22 man roster.

i'm fine with the value on the penguins trade, but they don't need more 4th line players and they don't have cap. If they move DeSmith it needs to be for a pick coming back.

Stanley is pure garbage pass

And this scenario is terrible

Sammy is a starting goaltender. Guy literally took less to come prove himself in Toronto and he did doing something Anderson nor Campbell could do win them a round

Guys sticking around along with Brodie

The solution buyout Murray and move or waive Timmins

I honestly don’t think Brodie should be that tough to move. I thought he was better against Tampa, and worse against Florida tbh. He’s the type of guy that makes his d partner better by taking the blunt of the forecheck but still being able to move the puck to his partner. The issue was that McCabe and him weren’t a fit because they both do the same job and neither of them are transition guys. If Brodie is paired with Rielly or even Liljegren then he looks great. He’s a reliable stay at home guy and those types of defence are valuable.
The problem is the cap situation on Toronto - $5M is a fine contract for him but with the Leafs being cap strapped they won’t get much for him. & most other contenders are cap strapped so it’s tough.
I’m not sure why some bottling feeding team wouldn’t take him for cheap, play him for a few months and then flip him at the deadline. If he’s moved at the deadline to a contender it’s an easy 1st round pick + a prospect in return and for a rebuilding team that’s valuable
