We may be over valuing Brodie a bit here. Hes definitely a top 4 d man, his skillset tells us that. But I don't know if many teams see him as a top pairing d man.

In a vacuum, the trade itself is intriguing and worth discussing, but the timing makes it far fetched to me.
All the talk of chemistry and adding not changing, experience blah blah blah. It just make no sense right now.
Perhaps they have had legitimate conversations, but I doubt it is about the deadline. Treliving has mentioned in the past that some of the trades he has made, the dialogue started months in advance.
Perhaps its a situation of: "Hey we really like Kreider, we may not be looking to do too much this Monday, but we may be looking to deal Brodie this summer. A Brodie for Kreider framework may be something we're interested in if you don't get any better offers this Monday."
A GM like Treliving isn't single minded, I bet most aren't. They probably have multiple scenarios of "If this then that" going on when it comes to player movement.
