Rumor: Brady Tkachuk frustrated with the Ottawa Senators

[Bevans]

Kaprizov is far superior to any Tkachuk.

Couldn't disagree more. Would take the younger, bigger, more physical winger with a few less points any day.

Small scoring winger vs albatross power forward. Easy choice.

 

[These Are The Days]

I had trouble sleeping last night thinking about the psychological distress that the NHL players must be living because the NHL teams dont want to give them all the money they are asking for . Lately we see agents leaking informations to the press because the negociation doesnt go fast enough or the bad NHL teams dont want to give them everthing they ask . We see reports of frustration coming from the players side and i'm having a hard time reading this. I often have to stay away from my PC because of the stress of the situation , having trouble breathing. Later on when i'm back to normal i feel sorry for the players having to face those evil onwers , idk how they are able to play after all they have to go through, i wouldnt be able to do it .

*Golf clap*

Brilliant

Would you have taken Lucic/Brown over a guy like Kucherov as well?

Impossible Lucic and Kucherov were different draft years, no idea which Brown your talking about.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Why aren't teams offer sheeting him?

Make sure you make it 8 years please.

 

[ThatsSoSlavin]

Why aren't teams offer sheeting him?

I’d imagine what he’s looking for would require A LOT of picks and cap space so it’s be tough to find a match

 

[CatchyTune]

Kaprizov is far superior to any Tkachuk.

Lol no he isnt. Kaprizov is so overrated on here due to his great "rookie" season.

He is a 24 year old who played to a 76 point pace.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Why aren't teams offer sheeting him?

If the offer sheet is between 8.2 and 10.2 million, then only 9 teams have the picks required today,and out of the 9 would need to calculate how many have the cap room. (About 4 or 5).

 

[Islay1989]

Both Tkachucks are gonna be singing the Blues soon looks like.

They'll sing the tune that brings them the most money, just like their daddy did.

What? I'm just commenting how one is a small scoring winger vs the other being albatross power forward types.

Should be an easy decision again?

 

[PettersonHughes]

If only he could join his buddy Quinn, I'm sure they'd be ecstatic to play together

It is I take Tkachuk.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

It's taking long because his agent knows Tkachuk is a rare type of player in the NHL and he's trying to get the number fitting his skillset and need importance to the team and Melnyk is just cheap.

Dorion be like, I wanna pay you, but the boss is who it is.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Kaprizov is far superior to any Tkachuk.

Can’t compare a guy in his 30’s to the Tkachuks

 

[Donuts]

Brady for brady

Tom brady for b tkachuk

Tkachuk is almost 22 and played to a 52 point pace in his third season in the NHL. It's Kaprizov ainec.

Yep 3 years younger than KK.

Yeah who needs all that scoring stuff anyways

 

[kp61c]

Yep 3 years younger than KK.

2 and a half, i think. Still it's Kaprizov ainec.

 

[ScJeff]

Why aren't teams offer sheeting him?

He is not eligible for an offer sheet. So teams can't offer sheet him

 

[Ouroboros]

Why aren't teams offer sheeting him?

Why would they? Speculation is that Tkachuk is mostly interested in a bridge deal, so what would be the point of offering him 3 years, 7M per or whatever? Ottawa would just match.

A 4 year offer sheet might put Ottawa in a bit of a bind as I doubt they want to walk him straight to UFA status, but they would still match and then just trade him 3 years down the road.

Then you have to consider what teams even have the picks to do it - Arizona, Buffalo, Dallas, Detroit, Minnesota, Montreal, Nashville, New Jersey and Seattle. Some of those teams are not going to want to punt off a high 1st or 2, and some don't have the cap space. I guess Carolina could do it if they don't get Kotkaniemi.

Historicaly 21 year olds don't get better? Chances are far greater that a 50 game sample size does not reflect how a career will play out.

 

[Ouroboros]

Of course he's eligible. It just doesn't make sense.

"almost 22" as in he was 21 the entire season. he doesnt turn 22 until september. trying to make him sound older than he is.

not saying he is better. but saying Kap is better than both by far is pretty dumb.
