Value of: Brady Tkachuk

Seems like Tkachuk is a scapegoat for a flawed team. A lot of one-way forwards who don't play hard, a middling defense, and a flip of the coin in net aren't going to get you to the promised land.

 

[Silky Johnson]

Whatever makes the team better. Many ways to do that. Whether it's one amazing piece or multiple great pieces.

And not really a rebuild but a reset.

Brady is the guy we can afford to trade and get a massive return for.

WTF? Brady is not getting traded.

The biggest problem for this team is that they are mentally fragile and have massive defensive lapses.

Brady is like the posterboy for both issues.

He really shouldn't have been made captain when he was and I feel it would actually be good for him to go to a team where he doesn't have the pressure.

But it's not really about being a scapegoat, its that at some point the team will have to make a massive change to its core if they continue losing.

Right, he's your scapegoat.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

Right, he's your scapegoat.

He's the guy who can bring us the biggest return that we can afford to move.

Much rather trade Chabot for good pieces but that's not happening.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Brady isn't going to be traded unless he demands out, which is a possibility if the Sens fail to make the playoffs again for an 8th straight year.

I think his brother escapaing small town Canada for a top destination in his home country and immediately experiencing playoff success might have made that more likely.

If he were to be traded it would probably be for an absolute haul, as GMs do insane things to add powerforwards.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I'd trade a lot for him, but its the habs, so whatever that is Ottawa and their fans would want even more and wouldn't blame them.

If he's dealt, it's almost certainly a west coast team.

 

[Hodge]

I'd give up anything other than Celebrini or unprotected 1sts from the Sharks.

 

[RedHawkDown]

They sure do and you have his picture as your avatar, lol. Obviously makes zero sense for Detroit, but that's absolutely a player that would "make sense" for Ottawa, are you serious?

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

 

[5 Hole]

Brady needs to come over to Florida. Zito will make it happen.

 

[elmaco]

I got laughed at for saying i wouldn't trade Lundell for him, that still stands.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

Brady needs to come over to Florida. Zito will make it happen.

What would you give up in return?

 

[Senator Stanley]

What are the sens trying to achieves with this Trade?

Go back to a rebuild? Trying to get an assets of similar talent but at a différent position? Or get a Bunch of good assets to get a Line Up with better depth?

To appease some jittery fans after a loss.

 

[Heldig]

Lawson Crouse and other assets.

Lawson Crouse, Julian Lutz and a (lottery win) protected 1st.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

To appease some jittery fans after a loss.

After 7 years of losing*

and this trade is if they miss the playoffs this year.

aren't fans allowed to be a little jittery and want real changes after 8 years of losing?

If they miss this season at some point you have to admit that its not DBC, Chychrun , Joseph or Korpisalo that is the problem.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

I'd give up anything other than Celebrini or unprotected 1sts from the Sharks.

Even the fresh prince?

 

[dgibb10]

Timo price+. So guarantee the 2nd 1st and get rid of the cap dump maybe.

1st
1st
Decent young roster player
Top 75ish prospect

 

[Hookslide]

two firsts. A second. A third. Lysell.

McAvoy

 

[TBF1972]

Both of them together might b the start of an acceptable package, but let's be real, what would it cost to get Hischier or Hughes? Think along those lines

after those lines your cognitative capabilities are really limited

6 years of melnyk, 6.5 years of dorion and dj smith

the fanbase has survived the worst of it

 

[Hodge]

Even the fresh prince?

Straight up or with a small add, sure.

Something around a re-signed Rantanen

I’ve seen this mentioned before (don’t ask me where, I don’t remember). Why do Avs fans wanna trade Rantanen?

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

From the Leafs Id trade Marner with an extension or Nylander.

 

[Perratrooper]

I’ve seen this mentioned before (don’t ask me where, I don’t remember). Why do Avs fans wanna trade Rantanen?

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.
