McKenzie: Brodie for Kadri almost happened

[mashedpotato]

Chilling stuff - thank you Kadri.

 

[VasilyHoglander]

Real estate prices and climate. Never thought I would see fans arguing about that stuff in a hockey board, but here we are.

And now you’re part of it

 

[CujosMask]

I like Brodie but sure glad this trade happened instead.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Why is this thread still open and 8 pages long? Lol

Who cares!!.. Alot of trades almost happen everyday

Everytime i look, this thread is near the top!haha.. And i just made it go to top again

 

[lottster14]

Well it didn't so who cares.

 

[FerrisRox]

Hopefully you only mean for being a professional hockey player. Because I can probably name 200 current or retired NHL players living in Kelowna. Beautiful here.

Not to mention Montreal and Calgary are both awesome cities.

For whoever cares, Chris Johnston said that it was a deal similar to the Colarado one in that it was a dman (Brodie) and an affordable center who can play 3rd like minutes.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

We don't know what the whole deal with Calgary was. I would agree that Toronto got a better deal than just Brodie alone. I doubt Calgary would have retained cap.

I also think there is a chance that Kerfoot may be flipped for a marginal return, depending on how things go with the Marner negotiations.

The Calgary deal wasn't for Brodie alone. Both deals had d men and centre combo coming back ( Brodie and Bennett /Janko). I'd rather have barrie of the two d but either Calgary guy as centre options. So both would be net positive deals for Toronto assuming the 2nd piece was Rosen ish calibre

Jankowski is my guess. What was really interesting was he said on the radio something like he thought it was going to be a 3 team trade? Someone to retain salary on Brodie then flip him to the Leafs maybe? didn't catch if he mentioned who the third team was

Probably Brodie and jankowski then.

It is literally 13.8 degrees, raining with wind gusts nearing 40 KM/H in Vancouver as i I type this. I'm not sure that meets the criteria of "burning hot" but if you insist.

Facts suck, huh?

Boy what a "burning hot" week ahead as well. It'll even hit 22 degrees at one point this week!

Yeah 1 week where it’s been cloudy and raining on and off offsets the weeks before this and the entire summer of 2018

 

[Jozay]

Johnston said Kadri was involved in a potential 3 team trade, but a team was on Kadri's NTC, so the Leafs circled back to the Avs.

 

[Snakepit]

I think what he meant was that Kadri nixed another trade or had another untreated team on his NTC list

No he used the exact words "3 team trade" unless I'm ridiculously misremembering.

They upload full segments the next day iirc so if I remember I can take another listed tomorrow

 

[A Loyal Dog]

Mean to acknowledge but true, only city in Canada I would consider living in besides Toronto is Vancouver

Same. I love going to Toronto and have relatives in West Vancouver.

I only live in Montreal because my business is over here. Otherwise, I'd get the f*** outta this shit hole. The only thing I would miss are the women and the food - amazing. Everything else: lol.

Yeah you’re right. I just re-listened to it

I doubt Calgary put Bennett on the table. He was their best forward in the playoffs.

This management group is out of lunch if they aren’t putting a third line winger for a legit top 6 centre on a bargain contract. But Bennett isn’t a centre anyway, so I doubt that’s who toronto was asking for.

 

[Burnie97]

Either way.. the deal would of been similar... but ..... deal is done... and the Colorado one is better.

Dubas did well... say what you want but he's got gumption... close this thread down.

Brodie plus one of Bennett/jankow was the rumour i believe. No matter, happy how it worked out.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Probably Brodie and jankowski then.

I think Dubas preferred this option. Jankowski is a big center and looks more like a 3rd line C. Kerfoot is in no way a guy you put on the 3rd line to take any of Kadri's minutes. Brodie is better defensively than Barrie, likely cheaper to resign; Barrie is the better player, but the Leafs do not lack another PP guy.

 

[thaman8765678]

There are people on here trying to argue Brodie is much better defensively than Berry. Just how bad is he on defense? Because aside from when he's with Gio, Brodie is BAD in his zone.

Oh my god. That would have been awful for the leafs 1 for 1.

Once again, Bennett still has room to develop. He'll be cheaper than Kadri. He had a better playoffs. The organization is very high on Bennett, and he's exactly the kind of depth player every team pays a large sum for at the deadline each year.

I honestly don't think Bennett was on the table.
