He looked pretty bad with Leafs this past year

Not getting strategy here unless a trade is coming

Hawks now have a glut of vet D blocking our kids (Kaiser, EDM, Allan, etc) from roster

Hey maybe he bounces back, but it was rough the past year

Maybe he can mentor someone like Alex vlasic a bit, but his on ice play was of a bottom pairer maybe. He had to be taken out of the lineup and we don’t have some stacked defence, he was that bad

There's nothing that hurts the general perception of a player more than being overpaid in Toronto.

Brodie wasn't great last season, true. But he wasn't totally spent either. Being overpaid in Toronto just lead the general opinion too far. He'll be fine for 2 years. I expected the AAV would start with a 2, but GMs overpay every year.

I think a lot of Brodie's issues are mental and he's had a hard past few years (not sure if it is that).

I think being away from a high pressure environment, he may do well.

Insulate the kids , no pressure now and they can stay in Rockford and ripen .I want Del Mastro , Allan and possibly Kaiser in Rockford . it's a heavy cap hit but maybe he turns it around now that he's away from the three ring circus.

If he’s on the 3rd pair, then sure, why not.

It sure seems like the Hawks want one vet on each pair with a kid.

He was our 7th dman... and we ran arguably a bottom 10D in the league. How did he pull off 3.75m LOL
