This is absolutely brutal for Chicago, Raddysh was as productive as Jarnkrok last season playing on a much worse team and will be making below NHL minimum this upcoming season. He is also six years younger and will be an RFA after this season. You would have to add at least a 2nd or 3rd pick just to make the Hawks consider that exchange.
That means the Leafs would be shipping Brodie to the Hawks for nothing… now I know Leafs fans get upset when Hawks fans say this but the Hawks will not eat Brodie’s $5m cap hit and $7.5m cash outlay unless it comes with a significant sweetener. That doesn’t mean i don’t believe Brodie has value, he just doesn’t have the same value to a rebuilding team like Chicago. The real value to the Hawks would be the draft capital/prospect he brings with him since winning is not the priority for this upcoming season in Chicago.
For those reasons I don’t believe there is the slightest chance this trade would happen.
