Was there an assumption that we would be paying offer sheet prices for the guy?
I think the biggest thing to come out of this is how much of a deal we are getting with Brodie.

Somewhere in the middle right now.
If he becomes a true top pairing Defenseman, it's a Duncan Keith type ultra-super-deal that helps us contend for multiple cups.
If he doesn't really progress defensively, it's still a really good deal, as it's essentially what Montreal is paying for Jeff Petry, and Dougie's better.
