Please explain to us, as Capdroendly users. Who is looking at Brodie and his 5 mil cap hit and thinking to themselves "Hmmmm, upgrade". He's not worth a 2nd on that deal.

its 50% retained

Really dislike the ducks deal would rather keep Brodie then pay for an extra defender and Calgary declines to wait that long if they don’t flat out decline it to begin with

So the 2nd goes to the retaining team and Toronto gets what, a 4th?

About 31 teams would see him as an upgrade in their top 4 per every analytics model

San Jose just literally would not trade their 2nds.

The Devils is a conditional first.
The Sharks’ is basically a late first.

And the deal makes no sense for the Sharks.

Very simple. when you are in the Toronto Organization you are a highly valued asset that 10 teams call about every day offering multiple top prospects and 1st rounders for. Once you get traded to another team you are a total bum or bust that Toronto suckered you into trading for.
