Value of: Brady Tkachuk

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

Would love him in Boston but not even sure where to start.

 

[benfranklin]

A lot

 

[HaNotsri]

To mimic the Eichel trade somewhat from Buffalo:

Östlund
Quinn
2025 1st
2026 2nd

 

[KingsOfCali25]

I'd like to have him in LA but LA doesn't have the movable pieces for him. They won't be moving Byfield, Clarke or Turcotte. So it would have to be around someone like Fiala, Danault, or Moore. Things Ottawa wouldn't want.

 

[PatrickMcC]

The main reason is contract purposes. Colorado already has one player making over $12m, with Makar sure to be on his way. Tkachuk while not as good offensively, provides good value as a return and is cheaper than Mikko.

This would be the best deal we could make… you’d do an Extended Rantanen for Tkachuk 1 for 1?

 

[FinlandPanther]

Too much. Some GM would absolutely pay a crazy prize because of his name and reputation as a player thinking it does what it did for the Panthers. He isn't his brother though, not even close. Guy still has a lot of growing up to do.

Your team should be all over him but you’d rather have figure skaters.

We have Knies for that role already who is more clutch

Yeah Knies is a good player but he’ll never be Brady. You need more than one physical player on forward.

Not a Leafs thread, let's not make it one. But perhaps catch a Leafs game and see what they have

Having knies and Brady in the top 6 would be amazing. Unfortunately it will never happen.

I’ve seen what they have year after year.

 

[HockeyVirus]

I’ve seen what they have year after year.

New season

 

[FinlandPanther]

New season

Been a new season 8 straight years. That being said if Berube can’t get your core to do it then that’s it.

 

[Unbiased Fan]

Bratt or Meier and Nemec

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

B. Tkachuk is exactly the player New Jersey needs. He would put their team over the top. Wonder what the ask would be in return.

 

[Perratrooper]

This would be the best deal we could make… you’d do an Extended Rantanen for Tkachuk 1 for 1?

I mean I would obviously love it Ottawa added, but that’s as a bias Avs fans opinion haha. Probably pretty close 1 for 1.

 

[BlueGoose27]

I believe every team would love to have Brady, but not sure they all have packages Sens would want. Teams I think could offer something worth considering…

New Jersey
Buffalo
Dallas
Utah
Anaheim
Carolina
Chicago (not entirely sold though)
Washington (Leonard has to be in any package)
Philadelphia (same as Chicago)
St. Louis

 

[BlueGoose27]

like it or not if the team misses the playoffs this year the team needs a major change to it's core and vibe.

It would be what 8 years of losing? I'm not a hater of Brady, I'm a hater of losing that much.

Brady is the only guy we can trade and potentially get a ransom for.

I’ve been saying the same thing last year, all summer and now. The Sens don’t make playoffs, BT is asking out…and if you’re the Sens, you oblige before July 1st when NTC or NMC, whatever it is, comes into play. Sens could get multiple assets to help this teams roster now and future. It’s a no brainer. You don’t keep him because he’s a fan favorite and “face of your franchise.” This core has been together long enough to figure it out. Changes would and should be made.

Nemec, Hameenaho (spelling), Mercer and 1st…maybe swap Mercer w Meier. Nemec would be the main piece, imo. Need a RHD big time.

 

[CanadienShark]

I'd love to see what he could do on Smith's wing. They seem like they could complement one another and he'd insulate Smith. Unfortunately SJ doesn't have expendable assets for him.

 

[theguybro]

Seamus Casey and Dawson Mercer plus a pic. Get it done

 

[dgibb10]

Nemec, Hameenaho (spelling), Mercer and 1st…maybe swap Mercer w Meier. Nemec would be the main piece, imo. Need a RHD big time.

Brady Tkachuk isn't worth that lmao.

 

[Barsky]

yeah more meant players that make sense for both teams. obviously seider and raymond and larkin etc make sense for ottawa but theres no use to any of those trades for detroit

Ok, but what happens when Illitch finally realizes that they Yzerplan is crap? Stevie got impatient with losing and tried to fast track things with July 1st cast off's. So instead of being horrible, they were just bad and didn't get any of the real high end picks they should have. Coulda had Cooley, got Kasper instead. Coulda had Michkov, got Danielson instead. Edvinsson is nice, but Power coulda been the perfect Yin to Mo's Yang. Combine that with the misses, Cossa is no Wallstedt and then there's Zadina of course, yikes. Seider & Raymond are not enough to build a winner with

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

If Brady becomes unhappy in Ottawa and Rantanen is willing to sign long-term with them, I'd love to see a sign and trade for those two guys.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Matthew Tkachuk, 1 for 1
