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

[Lahey]

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

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

I mean there’s nothing to say they couldn’t trade Nylander and Johnsson and have space but ya probably out

 

[BlueBull]

Did I just see what I thought I did?

Toronto Signed a Defenseman that prioritizes Defense?

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Such an underrated player. He’s been a borderline #1D for a long time. That Gio-Brodie pairing was as good as any for a long long long time (although he did have a down year 18/19).

 

[leafsfan5]

5 mill is fine

 

[Figgy44]

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

Nothing serious. I don't think they ever explained what it was, but most Flames fans were hoping it was just something silly like low blood sugar from skipping breakfast or something.

Dammit, take care of Brodie. He's a good one.

 

[DropTheGloves]

McDavid is going to miss making him look like a turnstile on HNIC. Solid player though, wish him luck in a tough market.

 

[Dubi Doo]

Good player. Let's see the coin!

 

[Langdon Alger]

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

5 million AAV

 

[SI90]

Only 1 year. Not risky at all

 

[Oheao]

A what year?

 

[FlamerForLife]

Treat him well Toronto, massively under appreciated in Calgary, wish Brodie and his family the best.

 

[Soundwave]

Good addition for the Leafs, Petro was a pipe dream.

Significant blow to the Flames blueline, he was their best d-man in the playoffs.

 

[BCNate]

A what year?

a minus year?

 

[couture23]

5 x 5M? 6 x 5M?

 

[IranCondraAffair]

5M isn't too bad...what's the term?

 

[InfinityIggy]

I'm sad we couldn't bring him back for $5M. That's very fair for what he can do. I suspect the failed trade to Toronto for Kadri burned our bridge with Brodie and he didn't really want to be back.

 

[JPeeper]

$5 mil is a steal.

Toronto you lucky f***s

 

[Suntouchable13]

Nothing serious. I don't think they ever explained what it was, but most Flames fans were hoping it was just something silly like low blood sugar from skipping breakfast or something.

Dammit, take care of Brodie. He's a good one.

Sounds good, thanks. That was scary, though.

 

[Leafs87]

I had a feeling

 

[IGGY2JOHNNY]

Very sad to see Calgary let him go very under rated dman and him and Giordano were dynamite together. I actually think he will fit in extremely well beside Reilly on the leafs top pair

 

[The Kingslayer]

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

Lol

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

I heard they're going to try him as a forward first.

 

[Bond]

At 5 million the Leafs got a good defender at a good price

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

not surprising because he was traded to Toronto last off season before Kadri blocked it but still HUGE addition

 

[Fatass]

Five per is okay. Better than the 8 AP was going to get.
