Confirmed with Link: TJ Brodie to TOR | 4 years 5M per

  • Xenforo Cloud has upgraded us to version 2.3.6. Please report any issues you experience.
Did Kyle just sign a 30year old left defseman for 5M x 4years??

We need RD....again, confused.

Rielly-
Muzzin-Holl
Brodie-

With no cap space and still one roster spot left too fill on offense, epic fail!

Or we could have kept Kadri, and then just signed Brodie. Much better than Kerfoot and Brodie.

This signing does NOT make up for the disastrous Kadri trade.

..... sure in hindsight, it seems disastrous. Were you saying it was disastrous at the time of the deal?

Keep Kadri, sign Brodie...its that easy! How do you propose to come up with the needed cap space last season? Let me guess you would have traded Kapanen, coming off a 20 goal 44 point season at 22 and who looked pretty good Vs Boston in the playoffs... remember the SH goal? Or would you have got rid of Johnsson? Coming off a 20 goal rookie season and a feisty playoff series?

Or wait... you go into the season with Rielly Muzzin, dermott, Ceci?

Come on... the deal was bad until free agency and we landed Brodie. Now the deal is better than it wouldve been if Kadri wouldnt have blocked the deal. That deal was apparently going to also include Connor Brown. Jankowski wasnt even qualified this season by Calgary.

Fact is Leafs had to do something about their Defense last offseason, and they did. It didnt work out...but at the very least, it actually turned out damn good for us. Dubas wouldve been hanged if he didnt get a defender last offseason.

Really since when?
He might switch over on the PP or a few shifts here and there but 80% of the time hes on LD....and the guys 30 x 4 years man that's gonna be hard pill to swallow when we lose again next year...

What needed cap space....makes no sense?
 
Kyle must have been upset about Button & his boys talking smack lol & went out and made another crap deal.

Leafs needed a defender.... they didnt have cap space for both Kadri and defender... unless the poster is suggesting we should have gone into season with Rielly, Muzzin, Ceci as our top 3 pairing. Remember Holl was a surprise, noone thought he was serviceable.

Is this the D we should have went with?

Rielly Ceci
Muzzin Marincin
Dermott Gravel

Don't like his much. I'd rather have thinned out the depth, and gone for AP.

I just read Mirtle's piece in the Athletic and it seems Toronto was never his top choice despite some of our players reaching out to him trying to convince him to come home. He's not interested in a discount either. Honestly, I'm glad Dubas checked in because he's a good D-man and just what we need, but trust me, it's best that it didn't happen.

I like Brodie a lot and he'd be a great partner for Rielly.

Huh we shouldn't have signed Tavares then, right? And we would have still been able to get a solid defensive defseman for some late pick, who clearly would have been a better fit then Barrie the guy that's afraid to get hit!

Thinned out the depth?????

The problem is there are no "depth" contracts. We have billion dollar contracts and then league minimum contracts.

Removing "depth" pieces like Soup, Hyman, Robertson, Sandin, Holl, Spezza, Dermott, Simmonds,,, etc... all need to somehow be replaced for ~1M each. This gets us nowhere. Not to mention giving away the future potential of so many young players... But if your "depth" is literally meant to mean Kerfoot and Johnsson, then that's just 2 guys you could call by their names. And,,, that might take some work.

No he's not lol. He has played on the right side of Gio at ES for most of his career. He occasionally played on the left with Stone but that's about it. As a Flames fan Leafs have a good one here. Should be deadly with Rielly.
