Confirmed with Link: Brady to Fla: 9oa, 25oa, 2029 1st, and a 2nd

[JungleBeat]

Dahlin is a great comparison. Signed a long-term extension in the middle of their drought.

Dahlin is Swedish. American players are risky

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Of course the 29 1st is top-10 protected.

 

[Emerica]

Proactive? They had no choice apparently if what we're being told is true. It was either trade him now or lose him to UFA. I don't see how this merits any sort of kudos.

And we're not getting Robertson. If that's their plan, we're in even bigger trouble than I thought.

He had two years left on his deal so not sure where you are getting the “lose him to UFA”. They could’ve waited into next season or the next offseason and let this become even more of a circus than it was this year (and most likely get even less in return).

 

[Lucky Luke]

The Sens' Average Player IQ just bumped up quite significantly.

 

[Loach]

About what crap.

They’re in the sports business. Which is messy. And the winning business is even messier.

Shut up.

Alex Tuch

Tuch and Robertson.

Go

 

[Boud]

The 2029 1st rounder from Florida is top 10 protected.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

This is the appropriate response, IMO.

The return for Brady is painful.

It's atrocious no matter what people delude themselves into thinking.

And people who think we're better simply by subtraction are even more delusional. Brady might have been regressing, but he filled a role almost no one else can fill, and I don't see how we can replace that through trade with these picks. Had we gotten a top-3 pick I might have felt differently.

That's a sour note

Surprised they got the pick at all.

Was thinking that Samoskevitch+9th was about as good as we could have expected.

Kind of surprised we didn't want Samoskevitch and preferred the 1st.

 

[Relapsing]

You guys know how we feel now.

Nah, I wanted him gone.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

Karlsson is old as dirt and Laf is an egotistical POS. Find better.

Karlsson was one of the best d men in the league last year.

And with Laf he'd just be replacing the egotistical POS going out.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

A Robertson offersheet would be 4 first round picks no?

That would literally ruin this franchise for the next 15 years.

Sens could do a 1 year offer sheet at about 12 million. Two 1sts, one 2nd, one third.

Robertson would not have trade protection.

If Dallas matches, they cannot trade him for a year, effectively allowing him to walk for nothing.

Robertson signs it because it gets him 12 million dollars and allows him to walk to free agency. Ottawa does it because if Robertson won't sign an extension, they can flip him like Carolina did with Rantanen.

Boo.

 

[OUT HOUSE]

At least we got to see the feared “Playoff Brady” that the media was raving about. That will be how I remember this era.

I don't think Jason Robertson is worth 4 picks.

You'd think Dallas would be moving heaven and earth to keep him if they thought he was worth what he is asking for.

 

[JaredCowen4Norris]

You have to consider that he was never going to be able to do things like that $500 a pop autograph session with his brother while playing in Ottawa. Him and his brother are clearly trying to build a "brand" with the podcast and events like that. Florida is a much easier place to get that kind of thing off the ground. Ottawa scores very low on the griftability scale.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

The 2029 1st rounder from Florida is top 10 protected.

It just keeps getting worse lol.

 

[Tak7]

Because you risk getting Panarin'd, or at the very least DeBrincat'd.

You don't wait to trade Brady until he's eligible to sign an extension, as it gives him even more leverage to pick a single destination like the two players above did, severely handicapping their team's ability to get a fair return.

NYR got a single 1st (Greentree) for their star LW, we got a late 1st and Sebrango for DeBrincat back in 23/24.

Also Florida wasn't going to trade any of their top players, as it would have defeated the entire point of trading for Brady in the first place.

It's also worth pointing out that almost all of Florida's top players have NTCs, which they aren't waiving to come to Ottawa.

Trade him in September or October or December

 

[Ouroboros]

Not surprising. That's a smart operation down there in Florida.

Which one of Carolina, Vegas, Florida or Minnesota had a top 3 pick to offer?

You're pissed Brady is gone, but this is about as good of a deal as we could have expected.

A worse GM like Dorion would have insisted on getting a player in return. Staios is smart enough to know picks are currency and can easily be moved to acquire players.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

I genuinely believe Sanderson is dumb as a rock and is so ignorant/blase that I don’t think ill of him other than he should read some books and the news (not fox). Brady on the other hand revelled in that shit.

Sanderson isn't dumb just rich enough that he can live in a bubble where all he does is read and workout and hockey.

That’s an insane gamble for a team that has difficulty extending its stars.

 

[DueDiligence]

Lmao

Whatever man, this sport is dumb. Can’t wait until for a nuclear war.

Does Sanderson even stay here long term?

Sandy the next one to ask out.

 

[PlayOn]

Lmao
