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

[couture23]

No way!!!

Wasn't he just making $4.6M? Got to be at least a $1M raise - if not more.

 

[Kcb12345]

Why is it taking so long for the details damn

 

[Suntouchable13]

What was that medical episode he had early last year at practice? It's nothing to worry about going forward?

 

[Svencouver]

This isn't AP.

Source?

 

[RadekBong]

He was the original target before Barrie so makes sense there was interest. Hope the money is reasonable.

 

[Double Dion]

The 30% dumbest fans in Calgary will be happy about this. He was a great and extremely underrated Flame.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Markstrom plays better the worse the D in front of him is. Calculated move by Calgary.

It's big brain time.

 

[Avsboy]

Leafs have the best defense in the league now for sure no doubt about it

LOL

 

[violaswallet]

Does it though?

Yeah: the game plan was pretty easy last season. Target 5 players and you win. This expands D depth

 

[Zirakzigil]

Curious to the cap hit. The Flames wanted him back.

He's a good player. This is a very smart move for the Leafs if it's not stupid term/money and much more savvy than signing Pietrangelo and having to destroy their team.

 

[SI90]

Will hold judgment until seeing the numbers but all things equal he will help them

 

[96]

f*** man was scared this was going to happen!!!!!!!!

hope it’s a good deal

 

[IranCondraAffair]

Solid fit I would think. Obviously price (and term) is a concern given his age.

Edit: I don't know what the price is yet, just in generalities, it will be highly critical how much he gets given how close the Leafs are to the cap.

 

[belair]

Takes them out of the Pietrangelo race I think.

Let's be honest. They were never in it.

I'll be interested to see how they make this work.

 

[Gurglesons]

I think Brodie is a better fit for what Toronto needed in their top four than Piets TBH.

 

[Fatass]

Wasn't he just making $4.6M? Got to be at least a $1M raise - if not more.

I’m guessing he gets closer to 4 per.

 

[MMC]

 

[Richard88]

Dubas finally got his guy after trying to trade Kadri for him last summer.

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

Want to see contract details

 

[Taluss]

Solid signing for the leafs

 

[goldRIVER]

Most likely Johnsson

Probably but as a habs fan I hope its Willy

 

[cyris]

Well let’s see how much he got before I react too much.

He was on the list of guys I was interested in. But he was on the bottom of it.

Hi from Minnesota

Exactly!!

He'll be a great partner for Rielly.
