In the end the Sens will cave and give him the 3 year deal he wants. Its easy to play hard ball when games havent even started yet.

Senators are a small market Canadian team and there whole survival is draft and develop

They need players they draft and develop to buy in and sign fair long term contracts as the stars are not coming via UFA.

You underestimate Ottawa’s resolve….. If Brady is not signed by Dec 1 st he misses the whole season and still owes Ottawa 4 RFA years!

The GMs of the league have to learn that the only way all teams are going to survive is the $ is there if the player wants to sign for 6,7,8 years coming out of ELC….. but if they want to take a 1-2 year bridge it is significantly less!

5- 5.5 mill in this case for a 1 year. And the player can take the $50 -60million dollar risk in case of injury or a drop in play.

after the 1 st 1 year show me deal after ELC there are mechanisms in the CBA ( arbitration) that will allow fair compensation until UFA years.

Ottawa should have a one year offer on the table for November 29th. And it should be something like $3mm.

note I think Tkachuk is a fool to sign an 8 x $8mm offer. He should wait to sign an 8 year deal with Ottawa until he’s much closer to UFA in order to get the overpay on years 6-8 when he’s in his 30s.

But if he won’t sign a long term deal (and he shouldn’t) he does need to prepare for one heck of an AAV haircut on a 1-3 year bridge deal this season.

unless he wants nothing to do with ottawa then he should never sign 8 years.

I think him and his brother want to go to ST Louis. So if im the Sens im giving him what ever he wants for 3 years and moving him for a signed long term piece. ie jack eichel

I’d trade him to New Jersey lol

Having Brady Tkatchuk alongside Jack Hughes would be money for the Devils moving forward.

Nah. If he wants three years, you give him a crappy AAV and trade him to someone like Vegas who needs to keep his cap hit down.

so something like Tkachuk for Krebs, R Smith and a 2022 2nd + 2023 3rd.

The problem with Tkachuk is that he is one of a kind. And he knows it. Big, mean , productive power forward with charisma. The return should be more than that.

It would be money for the Senators if Tkachuk played for them instead but they're too stupid to realize that. Offering one deal is f***ing ridiculous.

On a 3 year deal, you’ll need to temper your expectations. That’s not locked up long enough. I sent a 1st round prospect that is NHL ready, 2nd line winger and two decent picks.

Habs got a 1st + 3rd rounder for KK who proved even less at NHL level.

No they wouldn't
That would be the guy

Their owner and GM know they are on the up and up, and not interested in back tracking for 4 quarters instead of a dollar in the youngest Hughes.

Well they don't have the money to overpay their players like the Leafs.

The system is designed to give players negotiating power. The fact that teams control a player's rights for 7-9 years means that I applaud players who negotiate like Tkatchuk is.

I don't like Tkatchuk as a player at all, he's absolutely overrated, but good on him for negotiating to his strengths.
