A) the idea that Brodie is a "far superior" defenseman to Edmunson is hilarious. Sure I'll say he's better, but at the end of the day, they are both solid 2nd/3rd line defenseman on a good team. It's a pretty lateral move in my opinion. And I'm not saying that just because I'm a Caps fan or I don't like the Leafs or whatever, Edmunson has been wayyy better than I thought he was since he got to DC.
B) The Caps desperately need more scoring help, Brodie doesn't put up 35-45 points at this point in his career anymore, Sure he's an upgrade on Edmunson in the offensive zone, but 9 assists in 38 games doesn't scream "scoring help"
C) The Caps have plenty of cap space, so the Leafs wouldn't need to retain and the Caps wouldn't need to give up an extra asset.
D) Both players are on expiring contracts, and Edmunson is cheaper, even with the retention on Brodie. The Caps aren't contenders, so there's really no need to give up assets to get a guy that won't move the needle that much, and that we won't re-sign in the offseason anyways.
E) The Caps have Sandin, Fehervary, Edmunson, Alexeyev, johansen, and Haman-Aktell down the left that can all play, and Carlson, Jensen, TVR (who can play the left), Iorio, and McIlrath down the right. If the Caps go after a defenseman, I'd imagine it'd be a top guy like Hanifin. And I can't see that happening

Basically, Brodie makes no sense for the Caps, especially if you have to give up two solid future assets to get him</div></div>

Edmundson is an AHL defenseman.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KrakBirds23</b></div><div>Seattle isn't going to give up prospects for Nylander. Additionally contracts need to come off the books for Seattle to consider it. Look at the return Ottawa rec'd for Cat, not nearly what the Sens thought they could get but probably the best they could do. Whatever Toronto ACGM's think they are going to get for Nylander, they need to dial it back a little.</div></div>

Debrincat and his team advised the Sens he would only sign an extension with Detroit (His Hometown Team). Other teams wanted assurances that he would sign and extension upon being traded and he and his agents declined. Ottawa was basically stuck sending him to Detroit for whatever they could get, as no one else would consider a deal without an extension. That's why so little came back in that deal. Nylander and his camp up until now have said no such thing.
