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

[DaBossN]

Curse of the captains..always getting traded

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Shit, even if we were in a rebuild or not in our supposed contending window, none of these picks would blow my mind. You'd expect a top-3 pick at the very least and at least one star player.

This is literally nothing for the value Brady had.

I'm losing my f***ing mind.

 

[Hale The Villain]

That’s a shit return, I’d rather try and win next 2 years over this personally

FLA is gonna win multiple cups now all out doing

It's an awesome return given the leverage that Florida had in negotiations.

Staios did very well here.

You can't win when the locker room leader doesn't want to be there.

They had no choice the second he decided he wanted out.

Brady was going to become a net negative. He didn't want to come back here. His family was not going to live here, even if they forced him to play it out.

Please don't pull an Alfie/Bobby Ryan reactionary move where we get fleeced.

That's Mason McTavish's music!

This is an insane return when you consider he has a NMC, and gave them four teams.

I don't know if I got all the picks right, but this is pretty much like getting the 2nd overall pick.

Let's say Brady remains a top-tier power forward until he is 35, is this a good return? Not really. But you have to take into context that if this happened now, he probably is either not re-signing, or we cannot afford him.

The market is shifting. Brady is going to be expensive.

This was 100 percent the right move. Everybody knows it.

Now, would you trade those 3 firsts this year to San Jose to get Stenberg? This does not feel like a good draft for forwards so might need to be bold

At least 3 of the 4 picks are bottom 3rd of the 1st or the 2nd... It won't force me to gag with another of their top 10 selections

 

[SensFactor]

I step away for 1 day for Fathers day and all hell breaks loose....


Absolutely gutted

with our scouting staff absolutely

 

[Wallet Inspector]

If Viggo Bjork isn't available at 9th overall(yes I know I'm delusional for thinking Boyd would draft a 5'9 player), just trade the pick for a player.

I would’ve told him give more teams our enjoy Ottawa for 2 years and try to win.

I have no idea why Stutzle or Sanderson would wanna stay on this train wreck

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

SERIOUSLY GUYS, WHAT THE f*** IS THIS?

ARE WE IN A REBUILD?

DID BRADY DEMAND AN IMMEDIATE TRADE TO FLORIDA?

Omg, like not even an elite player in return, just picks?

WHAT THE f***!

Friedman hinted last year that making the playoffs helped resolve things, and if the Sens missed again there would have possibly been issues with Brady. His NMC was coming up. It was super obvious that would be a choke point.

I suspect that he probably was not going to stay here, we probably weren't going to pay him market value, and the stars aligned with Florida missing the playoffs and having insane draft capital.

It's interesting that we didn't want Samoskevich. It's almost like the Duchene trade even if it wasn't a three way deal, where Florida moved a piece to make room.

 

[Azure Doom]

Good trade for you guys... You can use some of those picks to replace his production and you will get a good player at Number 9

Insane post.

Trading him might have been the "right" move for the right return, but we're not in a rebuild, and already have multiple holes on F. How the f*** is this good for us unless we blow the whole thing up??

 

[PlayOn]

I made my peace with this months ago, so I’m excited to get three firsts in return and turn the page. The extra first this year was more than I expected so I’ll take it.

It sucks but if we make good use of those picks we’ll be fine in the end. We’re not getting through Florida in the next few years anyway, so aiming to peak in a couple years is the move.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Sorry to hear things have been difficult. Hope the tide starts to shift.

I should re-frame it that it is a positive, that reaching a low point with the difficulties were important to helping me address them and work to resolve them.

I am doing extremely well compared to last year!

Sometimes, I look at dark things in my life and use humour that makes them sound far too casual. So I wasn't really fishing, but I always appreciate the kind words. Thanks.

He had become a distraction. Not good in the room. Everyone saw the writing on the wall, including his teammates.

What can we do with these picks? Who the hell knows. We may suck now.

But Brady wasn't coming back. He forced his way out by checking out mentally and emotionally. Everyone saw how he played.

 

[inthewings]

I feel like there's some misplaced anger towards the team here that should be directed at Brady. He wasn't staying even though Staios actually assembled a good team around him. At that point I don't think its viable to try to win for the next two years with the circus hanging over everyone's head. And we saw what a checked out Brady looked like in the playoffs this year: a pathetic embarrassment.

 

[HSF]

Lmao we better use those picks for players to help us now otherwise that return is brutal

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Lmao man don’t under estimate the Canadian liberal. Especially the Canadian liberal in Ottawa.

Well that's just plain stupidity unless they think these picks can literally play top-6 roles loll.

 

[Micklebot]

I mean it’s pretty meh 2029 1st is jokes lol

That SJ 1st we got for Karlsson felt like a joke.

 

[commentsense]

I also think Brady now surpasses Yashin and Heatley as most hated Senator.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

Thank God we won't have mindless defending of his antics anymore.

Worst captain ever.
