Proposal: Brady Tkachuk to New York Rangers

[HogtownSabresfan]

I would trade anything for B.Tkachuk just simply because it would change the entire culture of the free-floaty country-club Rangers. Tkachuk doesn't even need to be a PPG forward in NY for it to be worth it imo and from Ottawa's perspective it could be a chance to fill out the team more so they can actually make the playoffs.

Someone one gets it. The guy is about so much more than just scoring. He's a unicorn. Sure if he had no offense or skills, just a little rat but he has the talent.

I never understand this argument

if he isnt good enough to get PP time, why should that be thought of as a positive?

Saying he it a ~60 point player right now is factual. May he surpass that this year and beyond? Sure maybe. But facts are facts.

Exactly. He's so good he can't make the PP

with almost zero PP time. I don’t understand why thats so hard to comprehend

Having more PP time than anyone else on the second unit isn't exactly "almost zero" now is it, or is that too hard for you to comprehend?

I don't see him being moved without a trade demand, but if that happens - Tkachuk to Anaheim for McTavish + 2025 1st (+)

Tkachuk - Carlsson - Terry
Gauthier - Zegras - Sennecke

Likewise, guy that doesn't understand what the word zero means, take care

You are definitely regarded.

What part of he’s on the 2nd unit PP and gets more time on it than anyone else outside the 1st unit do have such a hard time understanding?

He plays 1:30 per game on the PP.
YOU claimed he gets almost zero.

It depends on what you need and what you're comparing to.

An elite PP weapon, like a Jack Hughes, Marner, McDrai, Kirill, Kuch, etc, brings a TON of value. tbh the value of an elite PP engine is underrated.

But a guy who's more so just a passenger, or an engine that isn't effective, isn't bringing a lot. They get hurt or replaced, and it won't really hurt your teams PP.

So a guy who is a passenger getting a lot of opportunity (especially when they are only gettig that opportunity because they play on a bad team) isn't giving you more value than a guy who doesn't get that opportunity.

Elite special teams weapons, both on the PK and PP are underrated.

Passengers, both on the PP and PK are overrated. Insert every time you've every heard the argument "this guy kills penalties" for someone like Mitch Marner even though he's frankly dogshit on the PK.

From the rangers perspective in this case, it's not like Tkachuk improves their PP or plays on PP1. They have the best netfront PP guy in the league in kreider already and outside of ego for a star, there's no reason to have Tkachuk replace him there.
