Player Discussion Brady Tkachuk (LW) - Part II

[FormentonTheFuture]

3 years is terrible term for this team, thats right when Brady is going to hit his prime and price himself outta here. They need to lock him up long term.

If that’s what he wants not much you can do.

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

If true we offer him 8.5m x 8 and he said no. It’s because don’t want to be here

Not really, some players don’t want sign long term regardless. Doubt they offer him that

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

Brady shouldn’t take a discount - they tried using the C over Alfie, EK and Stone and that went over very very well.

Brady deserves the max and knows even a small market team will max him out. Edmonton, St Louis, Anaheim - every NHL would pay too dialler for Brady.

Max what?

 

[Tuna99]

Max what?

max money, max term, max respect

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

max money, max term, max respect

Ok well if you mean literally, then yikes, but I don’t think you mean that

Faux troll

Long term is definitely what the organization wants. Like I had previously mentioned I had heard 8.5 x 8

That's freaking ridiculous. 8.5 MILLION?

I love Brady and he is face of franchise but we seriously paying a LW who hasnt scored 50 points and isnt excellent defensively DRAISAITL money?

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

So...what's wrong with a 2-year bridge? A modest amount (maybe $5 mil per) for two years, and we offer an 8-year deal after that. Covers the 2 years of a flat cap, and pays him his worth in that time, while also allowing for salary growth when things start to open up. Chances are he doesn't turn into a 70-point player in those two years as well, so there's still a good chance of getting a reasonable 8-year deal afterwards (and at that point $8x8 is pretty reasonable). And also doesn't walk him directly to UFA status.

Draisaitl signed that deal 5 years ago. Player salaries go up its the natural trend.

Is this your justification? Drai was coming off back to back 70+ point seasons and hell of a playoff performance. 5 years, 2 years, whatever years, look at those making 8.5 and above. Heck, look at those making all the way down to 7.25. All are more accomplished or bonafide superstars.

Heiskanen just signed for less than 8.5 and he's a number 1 D who went PPG in playoffs to lead his team to cup finals last year.

I get the argument for 8 since we are absolutely in the mercy of Brady and have ZERO leverage, but more than 8 is just asinine.

 

[Zorf]

Brady seems like the type of guy who wouldn't take more than Chabot. Set an internal cap on contracts at $8m unless you're an absolute no-brainer superstar that merits more.

 

[Agent Zub]

Long term is definitely what the organization wants. Like I had previously mentioned I had heard 8.5 x 8

8 mill is sorta ridiculous for Brady, 8.5? In a world where the Makars and Heiskanens get that? Idk how this team is gonna compete at these prices.

What happens if Josh Norris puts up 60-70 points in the next two years? 8-9m? I get that physicality and Brady types are valuable in the playoffs. But two-way play is the real king of the NHL and you need the Norris/Pintos a lot more. Overpaying Brady will make all of them harder to sign.

It will be interesting to see what happens with Svechnikov, I hope we sign Brady after it.

 

[6stringmofo]

For Brady, I would like 6.5 - 7 x8
With the "C".

I think that's fair.

 

[IranCondraAffair]

For Brady, I would like 6.5 - 7 x8
With the "C".

I think that's fair.

That's a little low based on comparable players. He can probably get 6.5 on a 3 year. If we go to 8 we might be able to get him on an 8 year.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Whatever I do not care what the cap hit is, we just need proof that our important players will commit here long term. Brady is the biggest one because this team is so so dependent on our US prospects to make it and stay long term in order for it to contender status. They see Brady commit, they won’t be so hesitant to do so as well when their deals are up. Talking about specifically about:
Norris, Sanderson, Pinto, Kleven, Boucher etc.

 

[6stringmofo]

That's a little low based on comparable players. He can probably get 6.5 on a 3 year. If we go to 8 we might be able to get him on an 8 year.

Hence the "I would like"

 

[TheDebater]

Give Brady a slight over-payment of 8 x 8 and get it over with.

Let the haters hate.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Do 7milx8 like Hischier in NJ

Both have similar production plus intangibles, and Hischier was made captain like Brady is likely going to be.

 

[HSF]

Landeskog should be a Brady compareable

if anything Brady should make less as a rfa

 

[Deku]

Yeah I think Landeskog is Brady's best case scenario in terms of production, and the intangibles are similar. The Landeskog deal could be considered as a discount to play on a contender though. (I don't think it is)

 

[Yak]

Landeskog deal should be the framework for a long term deal! Comps are going to be cheaper over the next few years expect for the elite goal scorers. A 8x$7 is risky for both sides.

 

[Ouroboros]

Would be kinda funny if he signed a massively front-loaded, bonus heavy offer sheet today.

 

[Bileur]

Would be kinda funny if he signed a massively front-loaded, bonus heavy offer sheet today.

I wouldn’t find losing Tkachuk funny.

 

[Fandlauer]

Would be kinda funny if he signed a massively front-loaded, bonus heavy offer sheet today.

Id love to see Bergevin do it. It would be hilarious.
