Lol maybe. Those dudes will dig up any connection they can to create a talking point even if they are grasping at straws. I am not saying it didn't happen, I don't have a clue, but why would Brady approve Green just because he played with his dad? He wants to win and Green made 1 playoff appearance as a HC in his career. Def some 3 or 4-D chess.
It's a pipe dream but I think there is enough to tie Brady to NJ that it is at least plausible. Extremely unlikely, but plausible. Fitz family connection, he has only lost in Ottawa, close friends with Hughes bros, Wife and her family are all from NJ, he fits on NJ and fills a need.
Especially UT in Austin. You get more than 3 people on the sidewalk there on campus and they got a swat team on horseback ready to drag you out of town.
I hope the Canes take this sh!t. I got people going out of their way to text me to tell me Rags are winning it all. Like...wtf...just trying to agitate me.
Between the need for a G and the rose colored rumors of Brady Tkachuk I think the pick had a high likelihood of being traded regardless of what happened.
