Until the last year of his contract…….He is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent (UFA) after the 2027-28 season. Did anyone notice what happened to players in similar situations in the past few trade deadlines.
Hope he decides to remain in Ottawa, but there are other franchises, in low or no state income taxes, and there have been a number of players who seek to go to these destinations…. We saw Chara leave to greener pastures, and signing and trading Hossa did not sit well with him, and may have factored into his Decision…it didn’t help him to stay, and the same could be true with Brady…. We’ll see.
