Rumor: Brady Tkachuk frustrated with the Ottawa Senators

[TheNewEra]

Karlsson to TB, Eichel going under the knife, Askarov will be our pick at #5, Boucher signing with the 67... I find Simmer funny, but he is not a reliable source at all

Basically this. Simmer has like a 1 in 10 probability of calling something. This could be the 1 that he gets right it just seems unlikely even with ottawas reputation for being cheap.

Thomas and your 1st for next year (no lottery protection).

Patience Brady, Eugene is still searching beneath his couch cushions for your salary.

Not sure if I'm joking after the Buch trade.

Melnyk going to cheap out and lose one of his most important pieces

I think this is correct about 99% of the time, this might be one of those situations where it isnt. I have heard they offered him more than Svechnikov for the same term but Brady only wants a shorter deal. The reasoning from Bradys camp is that he wants to see Melnyk commit to winning. Which I don't think anyone can blame him. Ottawa made their bed, he was here for the fire sale and all the cheapness. At the same time I believe he is being a little disingenuous and he probably wants to go somewhere with his brother and get paid his max at a young UFA age.

Well if he is looking at Chabot's deal and thinks he is as valuable to the team as him I can see why there would be some frustration.

I think the same deal is on the table.

Maybe someone needs to lend them a hand.

If that's the case, I don't see how Brady's camp could claim a legitimate offer has not been made with a straight face. That would make my expectations for an agreement very low.

If so then the tweet is a complete fake. Either that or Brady is completely out to lunch

Sounds like he has been pretty up front with what he’s looking for, and so I’d say it’s not his fault if he is asking for a 2 year deal offer and getting 5+ year term offers.

I don’t think Brady is out to lunch cause he doesn’t want to commit to a long term deal like Svech.

There's what you want and a "legitimate offer". 8x8 or the Svechnikov contract is legitimate. Case closed.

I mean it really depends on what the camp deems 'legitimate'. If they told the sens they wont sign anything longer than a 4 year deal from their perspective its not legitimate.

American players hate playing in Canada

Where did you get that from the tweet in the OP? If true, the fact that Brady is frustrated that it's taking so long would indicate he does want to stay in Ottawa.

 

[swiftwin]

Based on how his brother's negotiation went, and based on the interview with the Spittin Chicklets guys along with the dad and bother, we always knew they were going to drive a hard bargain. I'm not surprised at all this is taking a while. I'm not worried at all at this point. It's all posturing.

 

[OmniSens]

Thank god it's Shawn Simpson. Never take what he says seriously.

 

[MacMacandBarbie]

8 year offers when you were clear about not wanting a long term deal is not a legitimate offer. A legitimate offer would be hearing that Brady wants a 2 year deal and offering a 4 year deal. He might still say no, but at least it was a legitimate offer that Brady could consider being close to his term desires. 8 probably feels like a slap in the face as if Melnyk isn’t trying.

What the hell? Noooooo.

Kaprizov +++

Yeah right...

 

[Tap on the Ankle]

That's just how negotiations are.

Just want him signed, don't care if it's seen as an overpayment. He is such a critical player for this team. Not because he's a good power forward, his real value is this aura he has that makes the guys around him also play like power forwards. Him just being on the squad probably squeezes an extra mil of value out of other players on the team.

Bad idea to sign Batherson long term off a small sample size while your main stud is waiting for a deal whos proven himself over multiple seasons

this will only raise his ask Id imagine
