He's cooked, looked really bad from 2023 round 2 onward

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

I am puzzled by this contract. He looked washed up in TOR this season.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

I'm kinda digging the Hawks strategy of overpaying these depth vets to come to their team to help their young guys out. They have the cap space, use it!

Also as a neutral fan, glad they got some skilled forwards (+ Hall hopefully being healthy) to put next to Bedard. They won't be a playoff team but they'll be fun to watch.

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

He was bad for last 2 years

 

[Mrfenn92]

Why 2 years

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

He was bad for last 2 years

On + side Hawks wont have him playing 2nd most minutes on team so in reduced secondary role his performance may improve

Chicago has Vlasic and Jones to play heavy minutes and Murphy (If not traded) to handle load as well (WHen healthy)

 

[Aashir Mallik]

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

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Oh lord. And I thought the leafs signings were scary.
This is awfffful

 

[WarriorofTime]

This one I don’t understand. Probably screws over Wyatt Kaiser.

 

[Leafidelity]

Good on TJ sneaking in one last NHL contract

 

[banks]

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.

How the hell did Brodie pull this off

No friggin clue

No friggin clue

Give his agent a raise because brodie is straight washed

 

[notbias]

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.

 

[TheNumber4]

He sucks! But the hawks don’t seem to care so whatever.

Meh silly contract but silly statement also

Can you trade us Taylor Hall please?

 

[Mrfenn92]

Can you trade us Taylor Hall please?

Sure

 

[dj Mahoney]

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.

 

[TheNumber4]

Sure

Done!

 

[JaegerDice]

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.

 

[AuraSphere]

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