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

Implement what? I don't understand what you are asking.

Okay - let’s do it this way instead: let’s give no-income tax states lower cap to compensate so iall teams play o. The same terms. Agreed?

So, you want different cap rules per team? Would that include endorsement revenue also? Money is money.

Then I think we should do the same for franchises that can offer massive signing bonuses and front-loaded contracts.

 

[Edmonton East]

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

Prob only way a Canadian team wins a championship

 

[elmaco]

I don't disagree with that, but I think this also sends a message that if you pout we'll give you what you want. I feel like the GMs and owners need to collectively hold the line a little bit... Unless you're the GM of the 4 or 5 tax free, sunny destinations this frat club USA team is angling to get themselves to, this trend should be incredibly worrying

You wouldn't be worrying if it were your team lets be honest.

I am sympathetic to leveling the tax implications of various locations as they relate to the cap and there is probably some way to at least make things a bit more level but in the instance of the Tkachucks are we at all sure that taxes played any role in why they are there? Look at Nashville and Dallas, guys aren't lining up to go there in my view. In the big picture, I think you make a good point but I am not sure in this instance it is what drove the bus.

 

[M88K]

The guy had Minnesota on his list, they've been out of the 1st round exactly 1 time in a decade. Playing with his friends/brother was a bigger motivator than taxes were.

 

[Artanis]

They can still miss the playoffs imo, tons of injury-prone players.

Barkov also hasn't played for a full year almost.

He just won the world champs.

 

[Veaktore Vitto]

Would Kyrou waive to Ottowa ?
Who else is avail

 

[sampollock]

people are drunk if you think Zito will not get a goalie for this team

 

[Sens9292]

Don't sweat it Sens fans, I am sure Tyler Boucher is gonna compensate for the loss of Brady any day now.

Is this a Rangers fan trolling about drafting or developing prospects. Made me laugh

 

[Panteras]

I’d just like to remind everyone that Zito interviewed with the Oilers but they passed.

 

[Panteras]

Geez Florida. Save some Tkachuks for the rest of us.

According to the cope gang here they’re terrible. They suck even. And wouldn’t want them in their team because they voted for Dorito man or something.

 

[McDrai]

I’d just like to remind everyone that Zito interviewed with the Oilers but they passed.

You’re kidding yourself if you think Zito could pull off the same moves on the Oilers, whose only draw to attract players is McDavid

 

[paragon]

Brady is overrated. More so I don't understand why anyone would want to trade for mercenaries like Tkachuks. They have no loyalty and play only for the highest bidder. Their father was the same. I think he was probably the second highest paid player of the 90s and 00s after Jagr. There's no discounts when his contract is up in 2 years.

 

[MCR74]

Zito dodged a bullet.

who is gong to complete in the east with this?

Every single guy in their top 9 makes their country's Olympic team, nuff said.

If Vegas can get Larkin and manage to keep all their current players, then I think they can come close.

People are forgetting how cooked Bennett/Marchand looked at the Olympics and down the stretch, at least March is down on the 3rd line and they'll both be rested up for the first time in years

I think endorsements in Edmonton are lucrative. That could be a draw. But I mostly agree.

Toronto and Montreal on the other hand are great places to live and will lead to insanely lucrative endorsements. I bet Austin Mathews is the highest paid player when you include the endorsements.

 

[Gizmokov]

You know I’m not, just asking for their opinion, and you know that, funny person

You don't really want our opinion, you want to complain. Brady coming here has nothing to do with taxes and you know that, unfunny person.

 

[GoSensssGo]

Your account is 21 days old.

There's still time to return it within the 30 day return window.

I've been on this site since the early 2000's

Bennett/Marchand probably shouldn't have been on TC though

 

[Heldig]

With all the moving parts yesterday, it feels like Florida massively added to their roster. In fact, the only upgraded one position, wing.

Admittedly, it was a big upgrade and the Panthers top 6 is stacked.

But the depth will be a challenge as they still need to sign 4 players and only have $7 million to do so. No goalies atm and 10 players with NMC.

They likely compete for the cup if healthy (and they get a legit goalie). Another key injury or two and they may be out of the playoffs again.

Marchand was injured. Bennett was the team's best player down the stretch after Reinhart got injured.

Injuries are a valid concern, but I'm not worried about Bennett when he's healthy. He got a new contract and responded by playing his ass off in difficult circumstances.
