I thought Dreger said that the hold up was around bonus structure and clauses?
Makes sense, Brady will likely benefit from the team getting better over that time and he can ask for more money later and/or get moved. Though obviously with a low term he should not be expecting a large salary. I dont think the team should be under any pressure to give him big money. Something around 5.5-6 so he makes a little more than Batherson who has a similar role and similar pace.
Just as @BondraTime has been predicting would happen, which is sad. I am starting to think that we have been played by the Tkachuk camp to think that they were ever going to accept a long-term deal. It is starting to look more and more like a short-term deal was always their goal, but wanted to save it until the end to make it look like mutual resolution to get Brady back on the team a.s.a.p.
Why are some of you surprised...
Of course he wants a bridge.
I was always very skeptical about him legit wanting a long term deal, a long term deal wouldn't be maximizing his earnings and that family is all about the almighty dollar.
I don't see why he would want to bridge over sign an 8x8 or 8x9... He's essentially banking on being worth 12 million in 3 years as 11-12 would just break even.

Escrow and flat cap.
He'll be able to get more money by signing a bride deal now and then getting long term deal once the League finances have recovered from the pandemic.
None of this is new information.

Actually, recent talk is the cap will go up and that this whole "5 years of cap freeze" was a huge exaggeration so actually, what you claim is older news. Not as relevant as you assumed.
Really painfully obvious Brady has the intention of being The Guy in a major US city. Ottawa just cannot compare. Being rich and famous in Ottawa vs being rich and famous in somewhere like Chicago/STL/South Florida...Ottawa can't compete, we're a small town.
