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

[JT Kreider]

I thought he had Toronto on his no trade list?

Other way around

 

[InfinityIggy]

Very fair deal for Toronto, take good care of him.

 

[cyris]

I mean...Petro is a Norris runner-up - he has every right to demand $8M per and probably get it.

Petro is definitely worth 8m a season. Probably more.

Toronto can’t do that without killing our depth.

 

[Kahvi]

Thank you Brodie and good luck

 

[Paradoc]

Calgary flames fan, how should we feel about this signing?

I have little knowledge on his strengths and weaknesses.

 

[Avsboy]

To me it seems expensive after a bad year

 

[DJJones]

Wtf, why didn't we give him that

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Big fan of Brodie. Was daydreaming of adding him in Ottawa; before we acquired a handful of 6/7 D. He’s a legit top 4 guy and one of the better guys at playing his off-hand. Haven’t seen salary or term yet but I like him as a player and think he’ll be a good fit

 

[The Nuge]

Seems like a pretty reasonable number for a solid 2nd pairing dman who can play either side and on the top pairing when needed

 

[Cotton]

Dubas is dufas signing extra million here and there for main core. Could have probably landed AP if he held firm on Mathews marner and nylander.

He could have signed him now if he was willing to move Nylander, he isn’t.

 

[Gurglesons]

Ap is better in every aspect of the game........so no.

Sure, but they can keep more of their roster with Brodie and I think Reilly and Piets is oil and vinegar ala Reilly and Barrie.

 

[HighLifeMan]

Great value Leaf fans. He will be greatly missed here in Calgary.

I would have kept him at that price.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Scouting report on Brodie if you please? Thank you kindly.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

That's gonna put them over the cap right? Who are they trading?

my guess, Johnsson or Kerfoot, maybe Dermott

 

[Super Cake]

AP must have not liked hearing about the limitations that Toronto had when offering him a contract.

 

[Tical]

This sucks, TJ was so important to our transition game. Good deal for the leafs

 

[JPeeper]

Anyone who criticizes this contract should stop watching hockey.

Toronto got an elite top pairing d-man for $5 mil for only prime years and nothing more. This contract is an absolute bargain.

 

[DS7]

I'm actually liking the way the Leafs Defense is shaping up so far

 

[Menzinger]

Dubas is dufas signing extra million here and there for main core. Could have probably landed AP if he held firm on Mathews marner and nylander.

Hes resigning in St Louis even if thr Leafs had 20 million in capspace

 

[IranCondraAffair]

Very fair. Term is key here given his age.

5M is high, but you pay out the ass for Free Agents and it could ahve been worse

Much better fit in Toronto than Barrie was and much, much easier to figure out the rest of the roster with Brodie compared to say...Pietrangelo.

 

[Blinny]

I was hoping the Bruins brought him in. Brodie makes your defense so much better

 

[Canadienna]

 

[The don godfather]

He could have signed him now if he was willing to move Nylander, he isn’t.

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

Uh.......
