topic aside are we still considering knight a proper first round pick? hasnt it been a while since he was drafted?
I see what you're saying for sure but wasn't Askarov just traded for a 1st round pick, 5 years after being drafted?
I'd say Knight has similar value no?
 
It’s not ever happening but for the sake of conversation I say Florida panthers offer sam reinhart for Brady tkachuk. Ottawa will want more but it’s a start

Maybe but knight has a bigger cap hit at 4.5 I believe which does effect his trade value. Askarov didn’t come with that and I wanna say his contract is around 2-2.5

Fair point but there's older goalies with similar or higher cap hits that have similar or worse stats.
Some GMs would definitely take the risk and potential on Knight IMO
 
If Brady asks out while his NMC is in effect, he would have the Sens over a barrel on where he would be willing to sign off on.

That is the only way I see it as palatable for the Panthers.

Pipe dreams at this point.
That's basically how Matthew ended up there though and look at the haul Trel got for him. It was known there were only a few places he would be willing to sign long term and he still got a 1st, a "B" prospect, a first pairing D in his prime and a top 5 scorer in the league, also in his prime

Matthew was unsigned and gave various options he was willing to sign with long term, hence more possibility for a bidding war via trade.

Brady is already signed with a NMC, would need to demand a trade publicly, tying the hands of the team and would be giving the Sens a very specific location, not quite the same situation but he would still get a haul no doubt.

I doubt the Sens would want him in the conference let alone the same division, but if the captain of the team says he wants out and only has eyes for one place it's much harder to get that value.

Sens need to focus on making the playoffs and hope Brady stops spending his summers in Florida cheering for Matthew on long playoff runs.

Ottawa having some success would squash all the noise.

Brady would also likely give multiple options, but the point is Matthew got to choose where he went just like Brady would, so that's a wash

Maybe, hopefully it doesn't come to that. Just last year he was in the media complaining of lack of success.

Brady isn't the issue in Ottawa that's for sure.

He's the captain and signed with them long term for a reason, the focus should be on not wasting his prime with an also ran.

I mean it's a debate, but after the four nations I think the world wants to see him with Matthew. Unless it's true that Brady wants to stay in Ottawa.

But I would imagine going to Ottawa would be something along 2 1sts, 2nd, Spencer Knight and Anton Lundell.

Thats a lot for a guy who's scored 80 points once in his career.

Sure he brings a physical game that can be useful in the playoffs, but the point stands.
 
Brady might be most valuable to the Panthers and vice versa. Will be interesting to watch it play out but the Sens need to make the playoffs and soon.
 
Florida will just wait until the cost isn't Earth itself.
Zito isn't paying 4 1sts for Brady Tkachuk.
If 4 Panthers 1st round picks were the ask, Florida should do the deal immediately.

The chances that you draft the next Brady Tkatchuk with the 28-32 picks are really low, even with 4 attempts and he would extend the team's compete window by a lot.

And from an entertainment perspective it would put a lot of butts in the venue's seats.

That is the focus and let's not forget this is the GM's first full year after completely cleaning out the staff and they are in a playoff spot post December for the first time since they last made the playoffs. It's finally a big step in the right direction whether they make the playoffs this year or not and Brady realizes that no doubt. Besides, I'm hopeful Brady would rather captain his own team to the cup after running through Matthew and the Cats, rather than giving up and joining him

Everything is speculation and hope at this point.

I personally don't see the team making the playoffs this year and the decision to lock up the core long term without any team success was highly risky.

Also all the Canadian fans booing their American stars of which there are many on Canadian franchises may still have unseen effects.

Like I said it could all work out or it could be a disaster, we shall see.

Wait, you think a younger brother might want to compete against his older brother, alongside some of his closest and longest-standing friends, rather than join him? Impossible!

I’m friends with a Tkachuk family friend (we are both Matthews age/ a little older) and it seems like he has 100 stories of them picking on “Baby Brady”. Now, I am sure they would love to play together and I am sure they are best friends… but I dont think it is as simple as people make it out to be. Athletes have complex psychological makeups, just like everyone else

Also all the Canadian fans booing their American stars of which there are many on Canadian franchises may still have unseen effects.
Lol. Not what is happening, at all, and the American stars know it.
 
Yeah, its not like the Sens have been able to extend pretty much every core piece in the course of their rebuild…
Of course they did, they offered unproven guys long term top of market money without any team success at all.

Hopefully it works out but there are already deals that don't look good.

Norris and Chabot are overpaid, Sanderson is in that conversation too IMO.

Still haven't even made the playoffs once with that core.

Omg please, a few fans booing is being overblown by everyone and I'm sure the players are mature enough to understand why it's happening and not really care. Not like just as many Boston fans didn't boo Oh Canada and won't tomorrow night. Much ado about nothing. Ottawa is a different team this year and have maintained and even improved their playoff spot and odds without Ullmark in the lineup. The betting odds are in their favour for good reason

We shall see, that's why they play the games and we all give opinions.

Pretty sure no one is upset about the extensions Sanderson, Brady & Timmy especially signed as they're all bargains, so other than Norris' deal, you seem like you're trying to put a square peg in a round hole with that take. You say multiple deals don't look good, so who else other than Norris?
