apareantly the trade for zucker was straight up for frolik and glen gawdin from the AHL

Why giving away Brodie?

What is Minnesota thinking. Zucker is very solid

I mean i wasnt sure if i shouldve put a 1st instead. But Ylonen is a good prospect

Why would the flames want to trade Brodie tho?

Too many Ds.

Andersson, Kylington, Valimaki are all better than Brodie? Can the leafs have him then lol

Gio-Andersson
Hanifin-Hamonic
Valimaki-Kylington

Brad treliving was pissed for a reason, he wouldnt be unless he was static about it. it makes sense because zucker has 4 years left on his contract ya they take 4.5 from frolik but in the long term with contracts like parise and suter, minnesota would be able to relieve 5.5 M.

well that doesn't answer my question at all lol

Yes hes older plus wont re-sign him at the end of next year and plenty of players to replace him who are playing well. Valimaki is also pushing for a spot

Much better, he isn't unique anymore, he was so dynamic because of his skating but the rest of the league has caught up. He is an average defender and has a lot of protection from Giordano

You guys just love young boys. Brodie is fine there. And on a reasonable contract. You've seen these kids for under a year at the NHL level and you're prepared to dump solid vets.
