If Brodie is not worth is cap, why would any team give up a second for him? Brodie's N TC is factor. You've underpaid some of those UFAs. What's the logic in trading Muzzin? If he not on LTIR, he's not waiving for Arizona

Bunting at that offer, plus it sounds like he's not re-signing back with Toronto.

And it Brodie isn't worth that cap hit, Then you sure aren't getting anywhere near that kind of return for him.

He's not worth the cap hit for us if we can fill his spot with cheaper options teams like washington need D men and would see value that's how trades work.
Bunting can happily leave if he wants more than that number hell go back to being a nobody in Arizona.
If you start the year with $7mill cap space you try to unload muzz to accrue space, if he's not on LTIR then keep him but that looks remote. yes he could refuse.

Yes, yes he is. Plays the hardest minutes and logs more minutes than any D we have on a fairly consistent basis. No dice.

Washington has no need for a defenseman with the youth playing up on the left side and the entire right side on multi-year deals, so they'd decline this.
