Observations

Click to Expand

August 2024 – Brady became an unrestricted free agent after not being offered a contract by the Dallas Stars on August 15, 2024, the NHL exclusive signing rights deadline. Mark Henry

February 2024 – Traded to the Dallas Stars from New Jersey (via Calgary). Has not gotten much of a chance at UMass due to the arrival of freshman and Coyotes 2023 2nd rounder Michael Hrabal taking the reigns in net. Brady has a woeful 3.03GAA and a .886SV%.  Austin Kelly

March 2022 – Brady’s .900 save percentage and 3.89 goals-against average for Arizona State doesn’t show much promise for the 21-year-old, but as a sophomore he still has two seasons to put it together in a more consistent way. Hadi Kalakeche

March 2019 – Brady finished with some respectable numbers for Fargo as he played in 39 games with a 2.77 goals-against-average and .903 save percentage. He will be one to watch as he expects to work with Eddie Lack in the offseason now that the USHL season is over.   Chris Wassel 

November 2019 – Brady has enjoyed his time at Arizona State University so far under the guidance of goalie coach, Eddie Lack. First, he is tuning things up at the Fargo Force of the USHL. It took 88 minutes plus for someone to even score on Brady. He finished with a 1.44 GAA and .947 save percentage that opening week and was named USHL Goalie Of The Week. Chris Wassel

June 2019 – Brady remains a long-term project that will require lots of patience. The key with the goaltender is for him to improve a little each season. His flexibility can be NHL level.   Chris Wassel
