Value of: Brady Tkachuk

[Devils Trap]

If NJ was willing to offer Nemec, what else would be needed !?? Aside from NJ needing to figure out the cap

lol, he’s not even the best leaf goalie.

Based on what, 5 games? Yes he is.

OP isn’t the bad guy, NyQuil. He’s misguided

@Agent Zuuuub the Sens aren’t missing the playoffs, you have my word

So they trade Stützle to the Sharks as you predicted and make the playoffs?

I’m not the bad guy, Finn. I’m not the bad guy

Over three entire seasons, Brady has played a whopping 9 regular season games.

Over that time span, Matthew has played an extra like 50 playoff games.

So no, Matthew actually has more games played.

And completely useless? You mean the playoffs were hd 11g and 24pts in 20 games? With like 6 GWG?

I’m actually curious if you even watch hockey?

Brady has played 9 games in the last 3 seasons?? You wanna try that again? And my bad, I meant the actual cup final, when he was playing with a broken sternum, for the 4 games he actually played in and only had 1 goal, or do you not watch hockey either?

NHL GMs value physicality, but not when Matthew Tkachuk is already plenty physical enough.

Matthew Tkachuk is excellent defensively
Brady Tkachuk is poor defensively

"durability" Matthew has played virtually every game the last 6 years, including a number of deep playoff runs.

Brady Tkachuk is more physical, but what does it accomplish. You win hockey games by generating offense and stopping the other team from doing so. Physicality can be used as a tool to accomplish that, but end the end, what matters is the end result.

Matthew Tkachuk is significantly better at generating offense, and significantly better at defense. Making him a significantly better hockey player


Onto this point, an "extended Rantanen" isn't real in the offseason.

Some examples of these trades are Guentzel for a 3rd round pick or severson for a 3rd round pick.

Colorado doesn't have any control.

If you would give up Brady Tkachuk+ for a guy you could get for free by just waiting a week, you would be the worst GM in NHL history, by far.

And if your thought process is that Rantanen wouldn't sign in Ottawa but would sign in Colorado, let me introduce you to something called an NMC, which Rantanen's contract will 100% have and block any kind of bait and switch by colorado like this

They lost that first cup final in part cause Matthew was so badly hurt(broken sternum) and was a shadow of himself when he actually did play. He's already missed half of Florida's games so far this year btw, which I believe falls under the category of "the last 6 years". Significantly better on offense is a stretch, but better, sure. They both made their teams in their draft year, broke 30 goals in the 3rd year, ppg in their 4th and both have averaged 30 goals/82 games on their careers so far, not to mention the fact Brady is besting him in every offensive category so far in this albeit very young season. Timmy is great, but he is not prime Gaudreau(RIP) offensively, nor current Barkov, yet, so ya, "significant" is a stretch

As far as your second point, you mistakenly ignored the fact Patrick said extended and are now just try to stick a square peg into a round hole and moving the goal posts. Imagine Rantanen did the exact same thing Matthew did as far as the sign and trade, it's not a stretch, and obviously Sakic wouldn't do to him what Muckler did to Hossa
