Confirmed Trade: [FLA/OTT] Brady Tkachuk for two 2026 1st round picks (9th, 25th OA), c. 2029/30 1st round pick (top 10 protected), 2027 2nd round pick

[BigDaddyLurch]

picks+ Evan Rodrigues to clear cap, Jack Devine as a decent prospect.

...what picks??...they don't have a 1st until 2030...

 

[The don godfather]

I don't disagree. But Marchand is on 39, not a teenage anymore.
Barkiv is coming back, we will see how he will go
MT, had some health issues.
It would not be the first time a great team on paper, not winning all.

Marchy with that lineup is gonna pop 30 plus with his eyes close

 

[Edmonton East]

Your ability to understand who is "the guy" is immediately exposed by using points/60 in a 6 game sample to demonstrate a point. Adam Guadette is 2nd on that list.

Well, no, he was THE guy that series. Idk how anyone with eyes watching it could conclude otherwise. Again, he isn't meant to be THE guy to carry an offense though.

 

[BB79]

They didn't have a spot for Mackie to really develop further and Zito tends to do right by players. The 1st round pick was also included in this trade, so the two trades are definitely related.

One of those deals that works out for everyone involved...although going to Seattle, I don't know how good that is. Like you said, at least he should get some good playing time

 

[Leaf Fans]

Go ahead n juuuump

Might as well

I tend to think both trades were good for both teams, given where the players involved were with the team they were traded from. But HFBoards needs clear losers AINEC.

I think this is a great move by Staios. Brady only had 2 years left. If they were playoff bound at deadline 2028, Brady might stay, then they either miss or lose in the playoffs, and he walks for nothing. Or they trade him at the deadline and the return pales in comparison to this one.
But instead they get 3 1sts (including a 9OA) and a 2nd.

Besides, he may have requested a trade to Florida to play with his brother.

Better to deal with the Brady problem
Now. It’ll just magnify as time goes on

 

[Korpse]

Well, no, he was THE guy that series. Again, he isn't meant to be THE guy to carry an offense though.

He hasn't been "the guy" for a number of seasons in Ottawa. A 6 game sample doesn't change that. He definitely wasn't "the guy" in Jan 2025 when he went 10 games without a point and the team went 6-3-1.

We are talking about a player who averaged under 17 minutes a game this last season btw. Under 14 minutes at evens strength. Trying to label that as "the guy" is idiotic.

Jason "the guy" Dickinson

f*** me.

NHL 23 ass

Ottawa fans must be gutted.

A franchise player traded to a division rival so he can bro down and do opinionated podcasts.

 

[JTRAIN1966]

Wild.

Canadian teams will never draft an American-born player ever again.

I dislike the Senators, but hope they draft some of the best players for their franchise in this trade.

They just might change the trajectory of their franchise for years to come but...... to say Canadian teams aren't going to draft American players ever again is laughable .

 

[Panteras]

Has to be around Lundell. Wonder if FL didn't include him because there's something going on with Winnipeg, or he doesn't want to give him up. Without Lundell there's no way Helle goes to FL.

Then it's not happening. Lundell ain't going anywhere, Zito will hang up.
But if rumors are true, Helle wants out and already shortlisted Florida. Gotta imagine after today the group chats must be cooking. Helle might be more inclined to come. Either way Zito's gotta do something about the goalie situation. Something's going to happen.

...what picks??...they don't have a 1st until 2030...

yeah, 2030,31,32,34....etc take your pick. Zito will gladly offer them.

Maybe. But for now, it's a question of "if." We'll see, BT won't see any more PP1, it's possible some players might want some playing time. I'm intrigued, everyone's giving the cup to Florida, I'm going to wait.

Marchand played 52 games last year..... Again, Marshy will be 39. At 39, sometimes, the elastic doesn't stretch as much.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

This is the type of move that could put a franchise back decades.

All the draft picks to Ottawa are alright but they are lottery tickets with no guarantee of bringing success.

 

[The don godfather]

NHL need to get rid of this no movement clauses it's wrecking the league. Teams that have solid weather and tax systems are preferred now this is becoming a joke.

Marchy is a unicorn trust me I'm a bruins fan I know him. The east is screwed with this move tonight.

...you seriously think you can get Hellebuyck by offering picks 4+ years away??...if ANY NHL GM did that, they should be fired out of a cannon immediately...

 

[Kimota]

Disgusting. Might as well rename it the Sun Belt Hockey League. We should just form our Canadian League and call it a day.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Whoa! One good pick and a bunch of long shot picks. Great deal for Florida

Brady Tkachuk is not a franchise player. I say that with him being my current profile pic.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Simple solution, switch the revenue split to 60-40 for the players and I'm sure there'd be little push-back.

Brady ain’t no franchise player

 

[Riptide]

Saw that coming

Way to trade within the division Ottawa

How many other teams could give 2x firsts this year (one being top 10), plus another 1st and that BT would waive his NMC for? They got a great return - it's just all futures.

Like when the Habs only did French Canadians.
