Quoting: Hammerwise
Its a reclamation project, pretty low risk and between Benoit, harris, Peeke, (all in the 24-25 age), you're able to find 2 good 3rd pairing guys and a 7th. Maybe its too much and maybe he doesn;t work out, but really its about age, goods mix of physicality/puck movement/def-off pairs and not going the UFA old guy route. And certainly having a remote possibility that he finds his game, he could be a mccabe replacement in 25-26. But really thats a pretty good mix on the entire defense that looks set for 2 yrs until mccabe expires
Maybe too much (2.75mil), for a risk but I like the upside of that age bracket and those 3 guys to make a solid 5-7th rotation. But ultimately a Seeler type for 1.5mil could work.
He's definitely a reclamation project, the physical ability might be there but he's never had a real coach at the NHL level. I doubt he costs you even the 5th alone, though. I could see a three-team trade with, like, Vancouver or another team looking for defensemen for depth with Brodie/Peeke/pick.
To TOR: Peeke, 3RD TEAM 2024 7th (for retaining)
To CBJ: 3RD TEAM 2024/25 4th (mostly for retaining)
To 3rd team: Brodie ($1M retained by Toronto, $2M retained by CBJ).
Brodie at $2M is valuable to a contender, and Toronto gets a different look on D for, in total, $1.25M less on the cap. CBJ move a guy that isn't part of the plan and essentially just gets compensation for facilitating and retaining.
