4th Overall the Senators Take Brady Tkachuk

[HSF]

Lmaooo people sleeping on tkachuk

 

[Ouroboros]

Lots of talk that he's going to go play with the London Knights next year.

 

[Icelevel]

Some of you guys are a bit crazy. Just sayin.
We got a game changing organization shifter.

 

[BK201]

Like the pick tbh.

 

[Alf Silfversson]

Just get f***ing Kupari at 22.

Love this pick. We finally have a powerforward if all goes well with Brady's development. We need a goalscorer too but good powerforwards are much harder to acquire. Good first step to rebuilding.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

So we basically wasted two draft picks, this year and 2019.

Damn it all.

 

[Wondercarrot]

I’m totally down with Tkachuck, love the pick

 

[Six Assets]

Brady is a great interview.

 

[Engineer]

Over reacting in here.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Lots of talk that he's going to go play with the London Knights next year.

I hope so. Kid has the potential to be 2nd liner...but we have to be patient with him.

London would be the perfect place for his development.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

I hope he works out, but just the fact Logan Brown boasted on how he took a retaliatory penalty to help him means we're going to be on the PK a lot with him around in the early stages. This looks like a "name recognition" pick to drive season ticket sales...which is fair in this market, but man, Zadina.

 

[OgieO]

Was hoping for Zadina, but I think Brady will be a good player. Hope he's even better than that. I do like the way he plays the game.

 

[Korpse]

As usual this place is so Black and White.

Would have preferred Zadina. Tkachuk has been unfairly portrayed around here by many because he is big and plays with an edge but there's a lot of skill and it wont take long for that to be evident at the pro level.

Exactly. Lots of time to fill in othewr needs. The tkachuk package does not come around very often. That includes the characte, off ice stuff. The name is just a bonus.

 

[saskriders]

I don't like it at 4

 

[Samsquanch]

Just look at the kid, he's a thoroughbred athlete. Hes going to be an absolute monster when he fills out.

You can argue that his bloodline is a non factor, because it's not a proven science by any stretch. But I've been a hockey fan long enough to know that it is absolutely a factor, his brother is further evidence of this (and has very similar attributes), and I would have a hard time betting against this kid becoming a dominant player.

I can't lie that I would have preferred if we didnt have to pass on Zadina, it certainly complicates the pick. But he was not the player that we needed to start the culture change here, even if his hands are softer.

 

[Ray Kinsella]

who is this?

 

[Dough72]

This looks like a "name recognition" pick to drive season ticket sales...which is fair in this market, but man, Zadina.

then they are terrible at marketing I have never read a single post from a fan that wanted to draft him because of his name while I have read 10 billion posts from fans bashing him because of his name.

 

[SensEnforcer]

I'm happy! Someone exciting to watch and who will play the game right with added grit and determination. If he ends up better than his brother we will have a hell of a hockey player

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Whoa, the negativity here is crazy.

I wanted to pick Zadina, but Tkachuk was up there as well. Montreal/Arizona went for positional needs, Ottawa went with who they felt was the BPA. Let's see how this plays out before bashing the team. Tkachuk was highly regarded as well.

 

[Larionov]

Eight goals. You can talk all the intangibles and bloodlines you want, but eight goals is eight goals.

 

[aragorn]

I hope he works out, but just the fact Logan Brown boasted on how he took a retaliatory penalty to help him means we're going to be on the PK a lot with him around in the early stages. This looks like a "name recognition" pick to drive season ticket sales...which is fair in this market, but man, Zadina.

My guess is that Ottawa will be on the PP a lot & Brady will draw a lot of penalties.

Lol I'm really glad that this never came into consideration with our pick....

Darn... having a terrible time with this site tonight.
