So the Leafs want Zadorov AND Tanev for Brodie++? That would require 50% retention on both of the D we're sending them and taking on Brodie, who although is playing fine and certainly not bad for 5m, he still has a 5m cap hit for the next season. With that being said, 2 retention slots in one deal and taking on 5m for an extra year warrants a top prospect and a 1st, no? Otherwise, Calgary should look elsewhere by trading Tanev and Zadorov separately.
FWIW I would love Brodie back. He was my favorite defenseman when he was here. Toronto would absolutely feel his absense if he is the odd man out. They should be doing everything they can to move Klingberg, not Brodie.
