I'm sort of assuming he does what his dad and brother did, and will want to chase money in a different market. Like his brother, I think we'll be on a shortlist, but we'll have no advantage on other teams on that shortlist. I'd also assume he'd value playing with his brother over playing in St. Louis, so Florida would have the advantage.
Matthew didn't chase money. He picked where he wanted to go, but he didn't get every last $. Brady is going to get paid wherever he plays; I suspect that it's more likely he either stays in Ottawa (if he thinks they can win) or joins his brother in Florida than he decides to play in St. Louis.
Maybe chase money isn't the right way to put it, but I don't see Brady staying in the Ottawa market is simply my point. Whether it's to move to an improved team, bigger contract, bigger market, no tax state, play with brother, get out of Canada, I think he moves on.
I can see where you're coming from, but man, that would be a colossal disappointment if this team let not one but two Tkachuk brothers go elsewhere when the cap is increasing the way it is.
I'm not sure of their ages but I think they are around 25/26? I wouldn't mind throwing a couiple 12/m matching offers at both of them but I think when they are available they will be to old.
Brady will be 28, while Matthew will be 32. Maybe throw that offer at Brady given the higher cap, but no way on MT. That would be worse than the awful contract they just gave Buch.
I’ve been thinking about this with all the articles and threads that mention Parayko. Most are crazy offers that are extremely one-sided for the Blues. With that in mind, would you hang up the phone if the deal were:
