Confirmed Signing with Link: [TOR] T.J. Brodie signs with the Maple Leafs (4 years, $5M AAV)

[PhiladelphiaKessel]

That is pretty sad if true. Brodie is a big improvement but not enough to get by Tampa or Boston.

Still need another top 4 RHD

 

[Puckclektr]

Isn’t he more of a soft offensive defense man which is what the Leafs didn’t need? Is he going to get the same treatment that Gardiner and Barrie got? How much better defensively is he?

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

yeah, finding Rielly someone to play with was a must. How do you see the third pair?

3rd pair is probably Sandin at LD and ? at RD.

I do wonder What Hamonic wants because that would be PERFECT

 

[Matt24]

Yup. The Leafs are one smart forward for defender trade away from contending imo. We'll see if Dubas can pull it off.

 

[BobClarkesfrontteeth]

Which is fine because the Leafs have a legitimate #1 in Rielly

Exactly and the funny thing is Gio and Rielly are similar players in terms of style.
Brodie is a very good fit for the Leafs.

What about Liligren or however you spell his name?

 

[HarryLime]

Wow, Dubas actually made a good move

Props tbh

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Always fun to see the see saw of emotions of alot of TO fans after every signing Dubas does... Dubas is either the best GM of all time or else he needs to be fired asap

This one seems decent... I think 5 mill is a little rich but whatever... I woulda hated a long term Petro contract, so this is atleast better than that

 

[Mandala]

Good move.

 

[SnizzNasty88]

Not a fan of this signing at all. Just when pencil neck Dubas was starting to redeem himself adding Simmonds, he gets fleeced AGAIN by giving Brodie a cool 5 mil a year. Pathetic. If this is the only move Dubas makes on the backend, just write off next season. #FireDubas

 

[deckercky]

Nice signing by the Leafs.

Read the thread.

 

[Go Wings]

damn the season starts tomorrow?

No but math does.

 

[Leaf Fans]

I thought he had Toronto on his no trade list?

He put Toronto on it after Kadri mixed the deal with Calgary.

 

[Go Wings]

Still need another top 4 RHD

With what cap space?

 

[BobClarkesfrontteeth]

I guess it was less against the Leafs and more his desire to stay in Calgary.

From what I understand is his wife has medical issues and they didn't want to be up rooted mid season.
There was talk of him wanting to go to a warmer climate to help with her medical issues.

 

[Melrose Munch]

Couldn't give Gardiner this two years ago?

 

[dubey]

The leafs are now over the cap and they are going to add 8 million in Pietrangelo? Yah no

With all the poor owners struggling to hit the floor I'm sure Dubas can offload someone to a desperate team (like Detroit )

 

[Ninety7]

Damn I wanted him in edm

 

[Matt24]

With what cap space?

Their next move is obviously going to be (or at least should be) to try and trade one of their forwards for a defender at a cheaper hit.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

What about Liligren or however you spell his name?

Maybe but he only played 11 games last year I don't know that he's ready for a full time spot at 21

 

[SnizzNasty88]

Which is fine because the Leafs have a legitimate #1 in Rielly

Come on, Morgan Rielly is not a legitimate #1, only a select amount of defensemen are, and Rielly is not that. Lay off the Leafs koolaid. This coming from a Leafs supporter.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Brodie isnt enough to push the needle to beat the bruins. Bruins dcore on another planet.

If it helps us win a game seven we will be fine.

 

[Cotton]

It's a meh signing I was worried you guys were gonna haul the big fish AP. Dubas should be canned for overpaying marner Mathews and nylander and not having cap space to add someone powerful back there that would take you guys to win at least one series.

You seem awful bothered by our “meh” signing, sweetie. It must take a lot out of you to work yourself up about what the Leafs do, priorities, right?

 

[teemussalami]

Really wanted him in DET. Underrated dman
