How is this even news? Why would the Leafs buy him out?

Why tf would we buy out Brodie? He is a little pricey but its one year left and he’s still got it.

Francis Seravalli Sr. strikes again

Yeah it was a pretty stupid idea in the first place. Way to go Frank

Galaxy brain idea. Buy out your best defender (in terms of actually playing defence). Don’t trade him for another player(s) who could help, don’t trade him for future draft picks or young prospects either. Just buy him out and get absolutely nothing in return. Brilliant
Pteoughneigh
No shit

No one reasonable ever thought there was. It makes no sense on multiple fronts. Frank is getting pretty close to TMZ at this point. It’s embarrassing.
MatthewsSnipes
Such a confusing and stupid rumour. He’s our best defenceman, and even if we wanted to get rid of him, he would have a decent amount of trade value. Seravelli is really bad at his job.

It was never “rumours”. Seravalli is a hot take artist but he never claimed it was a rumour, he just threw it out as a (bad) idea because of the unique buyout structure.
People just run with whatever anyone in the media says. It gets worse because people paraphrase radio hits and complete change the context.

I think he’s the man out though? We have a younger counterpart in Mccabe available and if an upgrade on the LH Side can be made like a Graves, Soucy, Etc I say do it. I like Brodie as a player but I feel like Treliving is going to make his stamp on this team via the D Corps

Koshan is a gem. Saravelli is a hack.

What kinda crack are these rumour guys smoking?
Ya lets just buyout the rock of our D core

Frank Seravalli is an absolute muppet
Jonesdeclectice
What kind of idiot dreamed up this one? Was it Seravelli (sp?) or Kypreos?

I could see moving on from him to restructure the defense, especially since he looks like he might be about to go off the cliff, but not buy him out. Some team out there will pay you for him.

Brodie is fine. Solid defensive dman that is starting to age a bit so he needs to be managed. Leafs need a big mean physical fucker for a shutdown role back there, maybe 2 of them to help manage the minutes.
accurateheadlines
There is no truth to the rumour that we made up.

Why would the team buy out one of our most reliable defensemen?
ohandleme
Brodie was horrible in the playoffs, is way too soft to be a defensive defenseman and provides next to nothing offensively year round. Only a year left though, no point to buy him out
reevoknows
Bro it wasn’t even a rumour it was just Frank Saravelli speculating and the Twitter went fucking crazy

It’s so clear that Seravali just made this up for clicks. The man is such a hack and has zero credibility, especially when it comes to the Leafs.
LeafsRealist
Yeah no shit.
Might honestly be the dumbest speculation I’ve ever heard. And that’s saying something as a leafs fan.
Acting like one of the best defensive defencemen in the league has no value to the team and no value on the market, such that you’d buy him out.
