Seravalli: Wonders if the Leafs will; buy out Brodie

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Ridiculous speculation

He is a good defensive RHD signed for one year at a good AAV.

Why would they buy him out instead of trading him?

I don't even want to see him traded

If I'm the canucks I'd be all over this

Agreed I don't want him off the team either but just saying that buying him out makes no sense when probably half the league would give us assets to acquire him at no cost to our cap

That would be a very smart decision, which is why Vancouver wouldn't make it

Vancouver doesn't make smart decisions and haven't for about a decade

Yet we got more playoff series wins within that decade

Just as many cups though

This is Eklund level reporting.

The Canucks would/should pay to get Brodie. He's one of the best defensive defensemen in the NHL.

Buying him out is incredibly stupid.

He is NOT one of the best defensive defenseman in the NHL.
He however is a good quality 2nd pairing Dman and not really overpaid.

Talk of a buyout has to be made up. … or maybe planted by the team to see what offers come in if the new mgmt wants to move him.

Yes, he is. Someone help me. Is this good defense?

Playing on the same ice as AM and MM creates good regular season numbers because the pucks in the offensive zone often.
When the offensive push dried up as games got more physical those numbers changed.

Note many pointing out HIS PLAY suffered late season and playoffs. That’s (to me) from having to defend more and neither he nor Rielly is really built for top pairing playoff competition (in their own zone).

I love TJ Brodie, this chart is a lie It's fake.

If he truly was in the 99 percentile for defense he'd be in the running for the Norrix every year.

But he's not and never will be.

Doesn't mean he's not very very good he absolutely is but he's not 99 percentile

Norris trophy doesn't really care about actual defense. If it did, Erik Karlsson never would have been seriously considered even with his offense.

I don't know if that's true this year because 100+ points for a D man does not happen.

But if TJ Brodie were truly 99 percentile for defense he'd be what? top 5 in the league? He'd have to be in the running for the Norris They'd have no choice.

But that's not going to happen

Lmao man. When Brodie’s on the ice, his team gives up fewer chances and fewer goals. That’s what a top defensive defenseman does.

You call him a 2nd pair guy and not elite defensively. Alright, then name 64 defensemen who are better than him defensively.

Is this a joke? Lmao. There’s an obvious reason he’s not in Norris contention: He doesn’t have any offense. Please show me a Norris candidate who scored 20 points or less, but was elite defensively.
