Nashville doesn't need to add Brodie to help the Leafs with the cap unless you add a draft pick.

A pick coming back to NSH would need to be included. A 3rd rounder or late 2nd sounds about right given the cap difference. If that is included I wouldn't be opposed to the swap. My only holdup is Pesce. If NSH is still in on Pesce I'd want that cap space more than the pick to re-sign Pesce ASAP. Given the cap situation NSH is going to be in for the next 2 years, and with the number of UFA's NSH has slated for next year, NSH has cap to spend, but needs to spend it wisely.

Not a good fit, unless you add something to make it worth NSH's time. NSH already has 7 NHL defensemen, swapping one for the other doesn't really help them, especially at a higher cap hit.

That's what l mentioned in the description, maybe a 3rd rounder add by the leafs.

I did mention in the description that the leafs might need to add a 3rd rounder. So l did adjust it so it's easier to know.
