The Winnipeg Jets seem to be stuck in limbo with their roster and need to shake things up if they hope to solidify themselves as playoff contenders. With trade partners in limited supply, the Jets will need to get creative with their options.
Should this trade be executed at the trade deadline, the money would just barely work for both sides. At face value, Winnipeg would exceed the salary cap by acquiring Brodie, and Toronto would exceed the salary cap if they retained more than 24% of Brodie's contract.
This leaves a very small range where the money works for both sides if Toronto retains between 23-24% of Brodie's contract. The Leafs would end up losing about $50,000 in cap space by doing this deal, leaving them with $98,333 to work with.
