Proposal: Tj Brodie for Sam Reinhart

[Tkachuky]

He looked like a #1 when playing with Giordano. Giordano does that to guys, makes them look better than they are. He was never a #1 without him.

Weird. A guy like Gio makes guys look like #1s but Gio doesn’t get any recognition on these boards lately.

 

[shortfuze]

Man did Brodie ever start getting underrated since he had a bad season. So many people are seeing him as a #5 at best Dman at this point.

It’s a what have you done for me lately kind of forum.

 

[Sabresruletheschool]

Regardless, he's not the player you trade a 22 year old for.

 

[Sabresruletheschool]

It makes sense buffalo would pass simply because of age difference, and the fact that Brodie only has two years left on his contract. What would buffalo fans instead think of one of the flames defensive prospects as a base for reinhart? I.e one of Fox/Andersson/Kylington+? (I would be VERY hesitant to include Juuso Valimaki as I think he's our best defensive prospect and likely going to be a stud).

I just don't know. Its tough to trade a proven commodity for a prospect. How about you send us all 3, and we'll send 2 back in 3-4 years when we find out who's better lol.

 

[Deen]

Calgary adds I think. Maybe Brodie + Kylington for Reinhart?

 

[1972]

Sam Reinhart is a stud, nope.

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Leafs 1st & Bracco for Brodie?

Not a terrible offer, but definitely not a great one either. Leafs first is gonna be pretty late, Bracco is a meh prospect. If the flames ship out brodie it's going to be for immediate help on RW (possibly as a package) IMO.

 

[Bazeek]

Risto I can understand and even then Brodie was definitely better than Risto prior to this season. Scandella? You got to be kidding me. Even in an off year Brodie is still a bit better than Scandella, and when Brodie is on you can't even compare them. Brodie in 2015-2016 (His best season yet) he was better than Josi and Subban in that season. Obviously long term speaking Brodie doesn't come close to those two players, but likewise the same can be said about Scandella. Even if he had a better season this season he's nowhere near Brodie's caliber.

I think Brodie's taken a lot of unnecessary crap for having a down year, but the fact remains that he had a down year on a team that expected to make the playoffs. Scandella got traded to a tire fire and still had a pretty good year. If I'm Buffalo, that counts for a whole lot.

Leafs first probably around 16-20, id do it. Tj needs a babysitter on the ice

 

[Rasmus CacOlainen]

Contract situation blows. So Calgary has to add. Fox+Brodie for Reinhart = I do it.

 

[EichHart]

I would do ror for Brodie and a small plus

He's kind of had 2 bad years, but that's not even my biggest issue. My biggest issue is he's 27 (28 in June) with 2 years left on his contract. Which means at 30 he's going to need a new contract. If he plays bad, we traded Reinhart for a meh defenceman. If he plays good, he's going to want a contract into his mid-to late 30's. It's just a bad situation to trade a 22 year old for.

Now adding a good prospect like Anderson or Fox makes it more enticing. But we're still gambling with a prospect. I might do that deal.

Plus it would be kind of cool to have two Ramus's on the team lol.

 

[HugginThePost]

Brodie hasn't been very good for the past two years. Really, he was only great when he was paired with Giordano. Scandella is better.

Fake news.

When Gio went down Brodie stepped up huge. He was great.

Of course that was a few years ago.

He has really regressed under Glutzan.

That's definitely a far more fair opinion.

Heck even with Giordano, Brodie's WOWY and eye test proved that if anyone carried his partner it was Brodie carrying Giordano rather than Giordano carrying Brodie. Both were great in their own rights though. Especially in 2013-2014, that was an insanely dominant defensive performance by both players. Brodie needs a system that utilizes his speed and backhand.

I would do either of these, or we could make a bigger offer:
Brodie+Fox+jankowski+2019 first for RoR and reinhart

Jankowski+2019 1st << ROR. We would be dumb to day yes to this.

Pretty brutal for Buffalo.

 

[Uberpecker]

Nylander + for Brodie.

 

[Deen]

People saying Brodie has had a bad couple years obviously don't realize that it coincided with his fiancee (now wife) getting diagnosed with MS in 2015.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Well it's definitely a mental thing and being hindered by Gulutzan, at the same time with his wife still having MS and if it's still going to affect him badly, it's a cause for concern.

So? He has 2 years left on contract.

I think one way to interpret Deen's point (I think. I hope I'm not putting words into his mouth) is more of an internal than external comment. It's more along the lines where we Flames fans shouldn't be as hard on him and perhaps stick by him rather than try to dump him.

I'd venture to guess its similar to how Buffalo fans may perhaps view and defend Oksposo?

 

[Chainshot]

I don't think it works for Buffalo. I'm sure they'd be interested in Brodie as a player, but not at that cost.

Okposo had a life-threatening hospitalization and lost most of his summer training. He was not capable of rebuilding himself for the year and his play rightly suffered due to it. I would expect Brodie's off-ice concerns to also have been an inhibiting factor in his on-ice performance.
