Confirmed with Link: Brady to Fla: 9oa, 25oa, 2029 1st, and a 2nd

[Relapsing]

In that case la molissana makes the pasta I tried last week it's incredible stuff it comes from Italy

Sounds de-f***ing-licious!

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Don't be mad about the trade - it would have been worse next year.

Be mad at the player. He lied to everyone repeatedly about his intentions, and when push cane to shove, he tied one hand behind Staios' back.

His reported list:
Florida
Vegas
Carolina (what a f***ing chumpl
Minnesota

Vegas and Minnesota have nothing. Carolina is too funny to even try and contemplate right now.

Brady did everything in his power to try and screw us before the door hit him on the ass on the way out.

f*** him.

I'm mad at both.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

Says the guy who is known for non stop trashing of certain players.
I've been a Sens fan far longer than you so why don't you go back to supporting your local team in Kazakhstan or wherever.

Yea I will trash the players that hurt the sens cuz I actually like the sens winning.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Just want to point out...the team played well this year when Brady was injured or being a non-factor on the ice. Yes, the threw some hits and got some goals, but the team made it to the playoffs with a goalie who was MIA for part of the year and with Brady being mostly a no-show.

This is a pretty good team. Keep the 9th overall and 2029 pick to get some blue chips in the stable, use the other picks for some immediate help and sign a guy for the top 6, and we're in a decent spot. Both now and in a couple years. And lets be honest...we desperately need to refill our prospect stable.

The draft will have to be our bread and butter going forward. So it's on Andy & Co to get the best in class amateur scouts asap.

 

[Relapsing]

I'm mad at both.

Fair enough! I'm an equal opportunity hater - let your hate guide your soul!

 

[Tarmore]

Yeah seems like you're grasping at straws dude.

So many "ifs" but the reality is Staios is in a very bad situation and I highly doubt he has the skills to get himself out of it. It's not entirely on him given Brady wanting out, but I'm done making excuses for any GM on this team.

I;m grasping at straws? LOL I'm not even a Sens fan..... LOL

I'm just pointing out possibilities that's all. Secretly I hope none come true but at least one panning out is probable, unfortunately to some degree.

 

[LynxBud]

Yeah, I didn't like seeing him at the White House last week for sure. I just don't see it as enough to hate him over.

That alone, of course not.

Was just the cherry on a shitty cake at this point. Long list of reasons to dislike the guy.

 

[Cosmix]

Its not necessary as far as I know? Believe that's a league wide rule.

Never read the NHL rules about that sort of thing.

Our goal differential was over 30 last year. Brady scored 22. We'll be fine.

 

[DueDiligence]

Do you not understand that cap space is valuable? Getting a deal like this with no salary coming back is amazing.

Whatever we use the $8M on you can tack that right on to the return.

This is an excellent return.

Virtually every team has cap space going forward . In 2 years the cap will be up almost $30 million from last season's cap.

 

[Cosmix]

It's a 2029 pick, even if it wasn't top-10 protected we're talking about a player which won't get to Ottawa until 2031 at the earliest. On its own it's a fine asset to have, but not when you're trading your second best forward.

It's a terrible, terrible trade.

It might blossom into a miracle!

I take your point but Mitch Marner was a pretty big non-factor for the Leafs in the playoffs most games and also a defensive liability. I can think of an example similar to Brady Tkachuk where Marner made a bad turnover and gave up on the play leading to a loss in the playoffs.

But losing Mitch Marner played a big role in the Leafs missing the playoffs. You have to collect enough points in the regular season. The team weathered games without Tkachuk but what if we have no Tkachuk and one of Stutzle or Batherson or Cozens gets injured?

 

[slappipappi]

Draft picks are currency. They don't have to be used to take someone in the draft.

We could turn around and use these picks to add a player like Rasmus Ristolainen.

OMG I hope not, he stinks.

 

[Neil Patrick Harris]

It's who he associated with and continues to associate with.

He was one of the elite few clowns on the White House lawn last week when so many people stayed far away. That makes him special.

This is really the long and short of it.

Jake Sanderson was on that same US team, was there at the same locker room celebration, and made the same post-victory trip to the White House—but he's also a quiet, soft-spoken guy who keeps his head down and, when the playoffs did come around, he played his absolute heart out. Everything blew over as quickly as it came.

The Tkachuks just aren't that kinda people. It hung around his neck line an anchor because Brady is loud and boisterous and in-your-face when he chooses to be, but never seemed to do enough or speak forcefully enough to quell the speculation. And, even when it did finally die down, something would happen to bring it right back up again.

We had the Olympics and everything that came with it, we had the Ullmark situation with the podcast, and last week we had the UFC Freedom 250 and there he was liking posts and taking selfies on the White House lawn because it's all good for the Tkachuk brand.

For seven years, Brady did well to keep his professional and personal lives separate—it's something he had to do captaining a team in Canada's capital. After the Four Nations, things changed and people started to see a lot more of Tkachuk than they ever wanted to.

What is so wrong with attending a UFC fight, being held on the WH lawn, on Flag Day, during the commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the DOI?

He’s an American if you didn’t know .

Oh, are you saying the 100s of US Military personnel are clowns?

 

[Relapsing]

Never read the NHL rules about that sort of thing.

Neither have I, could be entirely wrong!

 

[L'Aveuglette]

You either swing large and go for one of the big fish, or you acquire 2 quieter players who can slide into the top 6 LWs and add some offense. There's a lot you can do - and I assume Staois will be on it.

My most realistic guess is that we go and get a McTavish or Debrusk and another Zetterlund type and call it a day. People thinking we're going to magically snag anyone better than that are still in denial about this market, and let's face it, with Brady orchestrating his ticket to Florida, we just became even less desirable.

He's not a senator anymore bro. You don't have to defend him anymore.

Yeah. He's "brave" when it's easy and a coward when it's hard.

He won't stand up to his dad mocking Ullmark, his teammate, but he'll make a social media posts.

Sanderson threw Leevi under the bus after Leevi had a horrible game but Sanderson also stood in an interview soon after and apologized for how he handled it.

 

[ottawagm]

Brady quit on the team the last year and a half. Called out the fans when they played poorly. Can't have that from your captain.

 

[Relapsing]

Some people need to put this on repeat:

The ones who were there voluntarily yes.

Go back to posting more AI slop now, ok buddy?

 

[Tnuoc Alucard]

Not defending him…just wondering why an American, who is proud of his country, would have been expected not to attend an event on Flag day, when invited…. Anyone thinking that is wrong is just petty.

Marner at least produces in games 1-4. Brady couldn't even do that. Marner is better at the game of hockey than Brady in every tangible way aside from if you're having a competition for who can hit more. His 63 points in 70 games is still much better than Brady's PPG for Ottawa.
