Both Detroit and Ottawa declines.
Detroit is probably gonna finish bottom 10 again as the UFA market stanks and we'll see only one, maybe two of Yzerman's previous draft picks graduate.
Ottawa probably wants known assets, rather than what-could-be assets.

Brodie getting moved is unlikely.
Brodie’s getting moved with retention is nonsense.
Brodie getting moved with retention, in division, to the SENs is inflammatory

Sounds like you need some ointment

If it would help with some of the more questionable posts on this site, please send me some

I’d be pretty shocked if the main move of the Sens wild card push would be to trade a very good player to a team fighting for the same wild card spot

Fair, however I have seen countless TML ACGMs showing them trading Brodie to Ottawa for a 2nd rounder, and the only point of contention being retention by Toronto from Ottawa's end. So this is a fairly common transaction from what I've seen, so I suggest you lube up because there's plenty more where that came from.

For all the reasons I stated, simply can’t see this ever happening. But agreed - it won’t stop the madness.

At that price Ottawa can keep DeBrincat. Doucet lit it up this season.

He's also 22.

Sorry he's 21.

- Brassard will 99% retire, bad injury and is getting up there in age

- Lodin is going back to Sweden

- No thanks to that return for DeBrincat. Need Berggren or Kubalik and 2023 picks.

- Where the hell is Brannstrom? The guy is pretty good at hockey

- If Brodie is available for this cheap then sure, but I doubt it

Toronto isn’t retaining on Brodie, nor are they dealing him for a 2nd.

Nobody needs any ointment for Sens’ fans fantasies. Some do need some help.

You just sound like you need a hug. Want to talk about it?
