Proposal: Brady Tkachuk to New York Rangers

[JiricekSaveUs]

My offer would be Rossi + Ohgren + 1st + 2nd

 

[TGWL]

we are roughly 5th of the season
CK has 9 or so Gs not more and no assists due to Zib

I don't all that slowing down

I said overall play.

 

[eco's bones]

Not sure why Ottawa would want to move Brady. To me he has enough skillset and personality that a successful team could build a forward group around. The Sens haven't quite accomplished that but still.

As how he'd fit on the Rangers well I think the Rangers would absolutely change their power play around to accommodate him. Even as a left shot he would push someone off the first unit. Other than Panarin he's just better than all the other forwards on that first unit. Too much skill, size, nastiness not to.

fair 'nuf, but while we are striving to be fully objective/fair
he is/has been playing w/back/related issues

:facepalm:
What facepalm? Look at yr avatar, then at yourself in the mirror. LOL

lol that is really something else. Look I am not even reading all the crap you are writing. It's really obvious that you are limited so I am not going to pounce on you

My offer would be Rossi + Ohgren + 1st + 2nd

No thanks!

I am currently working on getting Chris Kreider and Kaapo Kakko!

Again, YOUR valueless opinion assessing my stuff as crap
Your blind hatred saying it is obvious I am limited is actually devoid of merit.

As to not pouncing, a mutual ignore works for me!

An exercise in futility

How many Rangers fans would actually REFUSE to trade Chris Kreider and Kaapo Kakko for Brady Tkachuk?

I wouldn't be surprised if you were the only one... Maybe a few more homers but seriously, Rangers would jump on that like crazy. Of course, you wouldn't find ONE Sens fan ready to do that, including those who aren't huge Brady fans.

Why?

Simply because Kreider doesn't nearly have the same value as Tkachuk

Kreider is 8+ years older, 2 years left at 6.5 AAV (0.77 PPG since 2022-23, 89th among forwards)
Tkachuk is only 25 y/o, 3 years left at 8.2 AAV (0.98 PPG since 2022-23, 30th among forwards)

Kakko is a good piece but doesn't nearly make up for the difference. IF Kreider was 5 years younger maybe then

I could see this trade happening with fans on both sides being upset but every Sens fan being initially upset. Kakko would have to turn into Finnish Alfredsson to rewrite the script which while highly unlikely, could happen.

My honest question: some Sens fans aren't huge Brady fans but do any of them actually want to trade Brady? Everyone else seems to want him. Call it a Matthew Cup effect. And what is the range of "no brainer" deal to "really really really really hesitant to make that deal"

My offer would be Rossi + Ohgren + 1st + 2nd

I appreciate the offer and will forward it to other teams as a starting bid.

I'm not a big Tkachuk fan, there's several players I like more on the Sens and even on other teams but I can recognize his talent and impact. In theory, you should never want to trade that player but this team might need a culture shock. It's absolutely ridiculous that they're not able to accomplish more with the talent level they have. That said, our GMs have done a piss poor job to surround them

I appreciate the offer and will forward it to other teams as a starting bid.

Haven't you heard? It's 33 y/o Kreider + Kakko! Not the starting bid but the ending bid

I see Rossi + Ohgren + 1st + 2nd got turned down.

 

[Xspyrit]

I see Rossi + Ohgren + 1st + 2nd got turned down.

Who turned it down?

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Bern, I'm more of a lurker here and generally enjoy your posts but did you just use the "can jump out of a pool in standing water" argument?

I can pick my nose with my tongue

 

[n8]

Who turned it down?

That was you Hunting down that big NYR package.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

I’ll always love Brady for befriending Chunk

 

[bernmeister]

holding firm on a dif deal to be posted this w'e-ish
prefer other Ott targets than BT

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

My offer would be Rossi + Ohgren + 1st + 2nd

Rossi + Yurov??

 

[JiricekSaveUs]

Rossi + Yurov??

Ahhhh idk

 

[SensFactor]

My offer would be Rossi + Ohgren + 1st + 2nd

Not happening.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

Ahhhh idk

I loved both Rossi and Yurov in their draft years but have not kept up with them as much since, but I see they are both producing well.

What is their outlook in your opinion?

Does Rossi still have 1C potential?

Rossi will probably have some 1C production type years but I think he’s more of a fringe 1C/2C. Yurov it’s really hard to say but I wouldn’t want to trade him. He’s got decent size, can skate, has skill, is smart, and has production to go with it.

 

[Bouboumaster]

As someone who despises both teams:

Tkachuck for Lafrenière as a base seems fair to me
Maybe a small add from NYR but no 1st or anything like this

Lafrenière have the better upsides while Tkachuck brings more to the table

Exactly. The Sens aren't moving Tkachuk. Sure, the rebuild is going slower than they'd like, but it's far from a blow it up situation. The Sens two best players are still only 22 years old.

I wouldn't rule out a retool situation where a core player gets moved if the Sens miss the playoffs, but it won't be Brady.

 

[le_sean]

Yeah that will help the Rangers get to the playoffs, the guy that has never led a team to one in his 7 NHL seasons

Sens would likely only trade Brady if they feel that he might want out after his MMC kicks in. They canmt afford to wait that long, as he could just dictate where he goes.
