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

[Gil Gunderson]

Lmao

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

Does Sanderson even stay here long term?

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Are you kidding? That's an amazing return if there's no salary coming back.

This place is called Hockeys future after all. The fascination with picks is incredible.

 

[sampollock]

Sorry send fans
Money and taxes kill Canadian clubs

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Also our drafting is dog shit so this is basically like getting two 2nd round picks.

 

[inthewings]

As someone who has been tired of Brady's shit for years and thinks he's incredibly overrated because he hits people, this is tremendous.

 

[DJB]

At first I was mad but now I’m fine with it.

It was clear he was going to walk and it’s better to move him now than to be in a Marner situation where he walks .

Glad we got ahead of it .

 

[BigRig4]

Pick one of Chabot, Sanderson, or Giroux (if you want someone for a transition).

Chabot would be a great choice if not for his contract expiring in two years. Would be a PR nightmare if a second captain left.

I think this, but also worry if this triggers a domino effect of other players wanting out.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

okay so who are the big boys slated to go 25? Thats the guy we get at 9. And who’s the big guys slated to go 45. That’s the guy we get at 25

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

That’s a terrible trade.

Basically it’s 9th overall and fliers. Huge step back for this franchise.

Draft picks are currency. They don't have to be used to take someone in the draft.

We could turn around and use these picks to add a player like Rasmus Ristolainen.

 

[BigRig4]

I have no doubt that we could have had Samoskevich in this deal if we wanted

I'd rather #25. We have an abundance of middle 6 F's. We need to hit home runs.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Honestly that seems like a good return but we were already in need of a high-end forward, not we gotta nab two I guess.

It’s not a good return. This team doesn’t know how to draft. Not getting anything material is terrible.

I know you're joking but I'm too fragile right now.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Who is the next captain?

I would want it to be Sanderson.

 

[Emerica]

Its a fine return value wise, especially for a guy with a full nmc. People are going to be upset because obviously the roster takes a step back losing Brady, but its very early in the offseason. Clears out 8M in cap and now they have more future assets they can parlay into players. I’ll wait to see what are the other dominoes to fall before i jump off a bridge.

I’d already come to terms with the fact that he wasn’t going to sign another contract here, so maybe that’s why I’m not as emotional about it.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Are you kidding? That's an amazing return if there's no salary coming back.

No good players coming back either.

Unless you consider the highest ranked PIM player good, we’re f***ed.

 

[Hale The Villain]

**** yes

What a return for Brady.

Thought we were going to get boned in a trade with Florida but Steve did very well.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

I know you're joking but I'm too fragile right now.

I've had a difficult time feeling excitement for things due to some personal challenges over the past six months, so I always welcome the cornicopia of emotions that comes with these kinds of trades.

It's very refreshing, I haven't felt this about a hockey trade in a long time.

No, we’re upset because we have no idea how to actually use draft picks.

 

[Senscore]

I don't think Steve is done.

 

[Kwelve]

Sign a player for Brady's $8+M.

Then ask yourself if you would trade

Brady

for

That player +
A top 10 pick 2026
2 more first
2nd

The answer is yes, every day of the week yes.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

I agree we can do better than Samoskevich in a trade. Good player but not what we need.

 

[h2]

I have to see what Steve does with these picks or what other additions are done to the roster before I judge this.

Not a surprising move with all the noise lately from the fan base (which I thought was ridiculous).

 

[inthewings]

I don't think Steve is done.

I think there's almost no chance we're making that #9 pick

 

[Emerica]

No, we’re upset because we have no idea how to actually use draft picks.

ok lol. Who knows if they’ll even use them. You’ll still find a reason to complain tho so not too worried about it
