Maple Leafs defenceman T.J. Brodie says he and his teammates were as surprised as anyone else by the news that Kyle Dubas would no longer be the team’s general manager.
“I wasn’t talked to at all,” said Brodie. “Obviously there’s lots of chatter. Whenever a new guy comes in, he wants to go make the team his own, I guess. So, it’s just sort of waiting in the wings to see.”There is trade speculation every day, and 10 players will become unrestricted free agents.
“I’ve learned through the years, there’s no point in worrying about stuff that you can’t control,” said Brodie, back home and working out in the Chatham area. “My job now is to get ready for next year and stay in shape and go out there and play hockey. Whatever else happens, it’s out of my hands.” It doesn’t seem to bother the veteran defenceman that he’s heading into the last season of a four-year, $20-million contract. Like Matthews and“If comes to me and wants to talk, I’ll be open, obviously,” said Brodie. “But I’m not going to worry too much about it. There’s still a lot of other things that I have to worry about.”
Treliving endeared himself to the defenceman the day Brodie suffered a seizure on the ice during a Flames practice, early in the 2019-20 season. He had to be taken to hospital, and Treliving was with him. Brodie was checked out and released quickly, and has had no lingering effects.
