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

[Fandlauer]

Well there you go Brady is gone, what happens now?

We become substantially worse and miss the playoffs. What do i win?

 

[sampollock]

I don't think Steve is done.

Trade for EP

 

[Burrowsaurus]

They'll probably go after Tuch if available in free agency, but realistically they'll probably trade for someone like McTavish or DeBrusk to fill the hole at LW.

Will still have a very good chance at making the playoffs, even in a strong East.

We just shipped out a ppg winger for nothing lol.

 

[Rodzilla]

Honestly, I told my friends after game 1 Id trade him. He’s a loser. He’s a passenger.

He’s a great player, cause of his size and around the net, but he’s a very average skater and has meh hands. Im very interested to see him age.

Anyway, good riddance. We lost a shit ton of talent over the years its insane and depressing being a fan of this team

If all we can muster up after losing a top line RW is a middle-6 forward, we might as well just blow it all up.

 

[commentsense]

The more I think about it the happier I am.

This will be good.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Dude I am not overrating shit, Brady is one of the most valued power forwards in the league no matter what your bias may tell you. Florida just became unstoppable.

Maybe he could be if he starts actually giving a **** again.

He was mailing it in for the past 2 seasons. Somehow still racked up some points but was nowhere near close to the player other team's fans made him out to be.

 

[Cosmix]

How can this be true as Staios and Andlauer said they were building the team around Brady! It must be April 1!

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I don't disagree.

I would've preferred them asking Brady why he's played like dogshit for the last 2 seasons.

That’s for the team to discuss with him not to be in some article.

 

[albator71]

I'm not upset that Brady is gone to be honest, he was becoming a distraction and his play on this ice was very average. Will see who Staios bring in to replace Brady

What was wrong with Brady two years ago lol. Why are you making this up

 

[L'Aveuglette]

I can understand the emotional response to this. Please take a deep breath or go for a walk.


This was always going to happen, unfortunately. He could have walked like Marner did. But we have assets and options now. Let's wait and see how this plays out.

Bro I just got home from an hours long walk, don't tell me I have to go back out there.

 

[Senscore]

Trade for EP

Not the best use of assets I think.

But we do suddenly have some cap space.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Yeah we got worse today but our future just got a lot better.

Brady wasn't staying beyond next season. Have been saying that for years now and it turned out to be correct.

Not sure what Staios is supposed to do. He added quality assets that he can now flip for replacement talent that will actually be here long-term.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Distraction because the team allowed it to be a distraction.

Team should have put Claire in the first flight to f***ing Winnipeg after her stupidity.

 

[Micklebot]

Who tf can we get with a #9 OA in a mediocre draft that could replace Brady? It's not like we have anything else we can spare to include in this hypothetical trade.

And lol, no, we're not getting any sort of elite top line wingers through UFA.

This iS a disaster of epic proportions.

I like Brady, I think he's a good player, a great captain and adds a tone to the team, but the return is very good imo.

If you want to blow a gasket over the trade before seeing how the dust settles, that's fine, I won't try to stop you, but I'm going to see how things play out, we suddenly have a tone of draft capital, as well as a lot of cap space, the team will certainly be different but the potential exists to come out the other side better imo

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

So overrated the de facto best team in the NHL wanted him

A good situation for Brady where he can be a complimentary player.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

People have a really impressive ability to immediately switch to denial mode when they can't accept reality.

Have you seen our drafting. 9th overall and 25th overall doesn’t transform our future lol. Even if our drafting is good.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

You know it really really rubbed me the wrong way after he was on the podcast making fun of Ullmark with his brother and dad. I think he crossed a line there big time. It wouldn't surprise me if some guys in the locker room weren't happy about that.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Do you not remember him playing soft and lazy for most of the 24/25 season, supposedly due to a nagging injury, just to go absolutely balls-to-the-wall at the World Cup for Team USA, further aggravating whatever injury he did have, almost costing us a playoff spot?

 

[albator71]

We become substantially worse and miss the playoffs. What do i win?

I don't agree when Brady missed some games last season the team had a winning record they were playing better without him in the lineup

What future man? We're in our first contending window in a decade. We have no choice but to immediately flip these picks or risk futility for another decade and I doubt this market can withstand it.

 

[SensFactor]

f***!!

 

[Hale The Villain]

I don't think we'll be selecting 25th overall. That pick will likely be on the move in a deal for a top 6 forward.

I'm hopeful that we use the 9th on a high skill player, but I'm not going to hold my breath. Feel like they could try to replace Brady with a poor man's version of him in Hemming or Belchetz.
