Toronto Maple Leafs buyout talk involving T.J. Brodie is perplexing, assistant coaching candidates



TJ. Brodie’s name has appeared as a buyout candidate which has raised some eyebrows among Toronto Maple Leafs fans. Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti explain why the idea of buying out Brodie is ridiculous. Mike explains why trading Brodie is a path Toronto probably shouldn’t explore when looking back at his stats from last season. To end the show, Mike and Dave look at the name of three names that have been reported as potential assistant coaching candidates as the Leafs look for a replacement for Spencer Carbery.

    Never mind Brodie. Dumbest buyout ever if it happens. Why is Keefe still there? Him staying there means another playoff exit. Boy is Treliving pretty slow!

  5. John Ferrari

    Bodies has not been worth his contract. His play gas gone down, Treeliving let him go in free agency to Toronto at his price. Makes sense the GM would not be interested in this guy and wants to use his cap space for a better D Man.

    Rielly – Schenn
    McCabe – New Player
    New player – Liljegren

    With Brodie gone, Gio and Timmons as the 7-8

    Leafs need another puck mover imo and then another guy with snarl.. so we'll see what Brad does.

    Mike good too see you back from an avs fan good luck in the future and yes I agree with other comments at least buy out Murray but there should be a sucker out there for Brody in a trade.

  12. paul rafiq

    Mike Brody is ok in the season but is no good in the playoff’s that’s why leaf fans want him gone if he was a 3 mil player ok but 5 mil is too much for him.

  14. paul rafiq

    Kucherov under 10 mil point under 10 mil stamkos under 9 mil this is a smart team when they negotiate leafs on the other hand are not.

  15. Collyn Bertin

    Only reason i talked about buying out brodie was to try to explain why his buyout would make this upcoming year's cap hit for him 0.

    Keep him or trade him for space im indifferent to either option. He is fine while he played
    , you should only buyout a players if its a player making 1st line money but playing on fourth, or if someonenyou really want to keep needs a raise, like with OEL in vancouver. If the llayer is serviceable then play him lol.

  16. John Summerhill

    Hilarious. Now that everyone knows that Holl is a UFA and gone, the focus shifts to another defenceman to pick on and blame for everything that went sour or will go sour. Brodie is in the last year of his contract. He has been pretty decent over the years. Slowing down now but really no worse than Giordano who needs to retire.

  17. Douglas Vasey

    Brodie, I have no problem buying him out or trading him. His age and smaller size showed in the playoffs. Liljegren can play to his standards already.Leafs need more size and presence on the blue line.

  18. Old Man

    Buy out Brodie. NO. Trade Brodie. For whom? Assistants for Keefe. How about BB or Muller. Someone with head coaching experience who could take over if they decide to end Keefe's lame duck year.

  19. Brian McEvoy

    Brodie sucked in the playoffs and was overall pretty unremarkable in his time here. Send him packing and make room for someone else.
