If Ottawa misses the playoffs, do you think Brady Tkachuk will ask for a trade?

[Golden_Jet]

"Wayne Gretzky is not getting traded!!!"
- HF Boards 1988

Yep Crosby and Malkin getting traded as well.

 

[MCR74]

I hope he plays out his contract and reups with Ottawa. It's sure panned out so far.

 

[Bouboumaster]

I would already have if I were him

He didn't do it yet because he ain't the brighest light in the Chrismas three, but at one point he'll want to GTFO of that shit team

In two years:

Slafkovsky - McDavid - Laine
Tkachuck - Suzuki - Laine

Why did Slaf, Laine x2 and Suzuki all leave Montreal for Edmonton?

I mean when your team is so shit you have to live in a fantasy world I wouldn’t be throwing stones…Laine so good you put him in a clone machine?
…what a joke just like the Habs. Enjoy your delusion

 

[Bouboumaster]

Because Montréal is an amazing city, and unlike the Sens, the Habs have a bright future in front of them

We're absolute garbage, but our future is bright
Sens were supposed to exit rebuilding at some point, but they were never able to do it because they are garbage
Habs will make playoffs before the Sens at this point

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Yes. He wants to win and is jealous of his brothers success in FLA.

 

[Xspyrit]

How can you miss something you've never seen before?

Leafs fans are really the best lol

Last time Ottawa made the playoffs, they lost in the 3rd round double OT vs the eventual 2017 Champs

2017 is also the year the Maple Leafs started to make the playoffs after missing 10 times in 11 years lol

So what happened in the last 8 seasons? 7 playoffs, Lost in qualifying round in 2021 and won ONE single round overall... against a team that was dead tired after making the SCF 3 years in a row

But if that wasn't enough, they haven't won the Cup since 1967, an era where it was still relatively easy to win. 58 years without winning. How many Leafs fans were old enough to remember that Cup run? lol

But here we are having to read these fans being cocky and arrogant about other teams playoffs failures. It's GOLDEN

 

[Tuna99]

He’ll ask for a trade. Way to much smoke right now, and he deserves to be on a winning team and be a playoff regular

 

[Xspyrit]

I personally wouldn't mind having to trade Tkachuk and depending on the return, could even help this team take the next step.

My keepers are : Stutzle, Batherson, Norris, Sanderson and Chabot. I also want to keep Pinto, Greig, Kleven, Ostapchuk and Yakemchuk (no point trading them at the moment as they are young, cheap and not at peak value)

He'd be crazy to stick with the Ottawa organization if he has any plans of winning.

Well, Melnyk passed away and the team got sold, they also fired previous management, which was one of the worst in NHL history. The Andlauer ownership just started, Steve Staios also just started on the job so they get the benefit of the doubt for now. I am not convinced either way as it is way too early but Ullmark, Jensen and Gaudette acquisitions were great. Not a fan of Perron and Amadio signings though. And while having Jensen is great (particularly for Chabot), Sens paid a premium to get him (Chychrun) but they were always going to lose that trade (big part of the blame goes to Dorion)

All that said, they're not far from being a good team although I'm not very faithful in the depth. Goaltending also needs to be better. 27th in PDO needs to be better (Montreal is 18th) but many things are trending the right way (made the comparison with MTL for Boubou)

7th in CF% (Montreal is 31st)
4th in SF% (Montreal is 31st)
17th in GF% (Montreal is 29th)
12th in GF% (Montreal is 29th)
9th in SCF% (Montreal is 26th)
17th in SCF% (Montreal is 30th)

Because Montréal is an amazing city

Yeah Montreal is nice but doesn't look like you traveled a lot lol

We're absolute garbage, but our future is bright
Sens were supposed to exit rebuilding at some point, but they were never able to do it because they are garbage

Like I predicted 5 years ago, the Sens wouldn't be able to go anywhere as long as Melnyk and Dorion were there. It unfortunately took too much time but it finally happened and Dorion got fired just ONE YEAR ago. The jury is still out on Staios but he pretty much just started on the job.

The game yesterday is a good example of the last 3 years in a vacuum, played great, lot of good scoring chances, not enough converting or secondary scoring then you have guys like Hamonic and Forsberg (Dorion acquisitions) single handily losing the game. Scoring chances were 34 to 11 but they still lost. Stutzle, Batherson, Tkachuk, Norris, Sanderson and Chabot are great when healthy but they have been very poorly surrounded outside of a few guys like Giroux and Zub.

In Montreal's case, it has been trending very well and it looked like they have great management and coaching but the jury is still out. Look at Slafkovský, Newhook and Dach, it has not been trending well. Demidov development is not looking as great as early on, Reinbacher is injured, etc. There is a luck factor in all this and if Habs go through even close to as much adversity as Ottawa went through (Norris, Batherson and Pinto injuries for example), they will have their challenges. The HUGE advantage is obviosuly not having been stuck with Pierre Dorion, the worst NHL GM in NHL history.

Why would you say that?


Dach and Newhook are basically reclamation projects but Slaf is doing well, if you take into account the strenght of the 2022 draft
Slafkovsky would go out top 3 at worst, and really, it's between him and Cooley for the top spot

Demidov is getting f***ed by Rotten-Berk but we'll have more infos when he GTFO of Russian

I feel that Habs culture is also stronger than Ottawa's and the team will 100% spend to the cap when the team is ready to compete

 

[Xspyrit]

Dach and Newhook are basically reclamation projects

Yeah but this is what they cost :

2022 1st Round Pick (#13)
2022 3rd round pick (#66)
2023 1st round pick (#31)
2023 2nd round pick (#37)
Gianni Fairbrother

That's costly if they continue to not amount to much... And it's a bit similar to DeBrincat and Chychrun acquisitions (who are much much better players), in the end it was investments that blew up in Ottawa's face (although they still have Ullmark, Jensen and 2 picks from it)

but Slaf is doing well, if you take into account the strenght of the 2022 draft
Slafkovsky would go out top 3 at worst, and really, it's between him and Cooley for the top spot

I don't watch all Habs games but still hear a lot from the medias and it doesn't sound like he is doing that great, 2 goals in 24 games too

And it's way too early to have a good read on that 2022 draft, many other guys will emerge so Slaf might not end up Top-3. Lane Hutson for example, is one of these guys.

I feel that Habs culture is also stronger than Ottawa's and the team will 100% spend to the cap when the team is ready to compete

Which culture?

And you're not aware that Melnyk passed away and that the team got sold? Money is not supposed to be a problem going forward, particularly once a downtown arena complex will be underway.

 

[Voight]

Yes. He wants to win and is jealous of his brothers success in FLA.

Not really that so much as he knows with a NMC he can pick his spot and if his current team is stuck in the mud, why waste your prime years there.

The thread presumes that Brady Tkachuk would ask for a trade if he missed the playoffs this year and my point was simply that this is his 7th season and he has never been to the NHL playoffs and as you cannot miss something you have never seen nor experienced that the thread made no sense.

It would be akin to me missing my nephew Steven, one day I may have a nephew named Steven but alas I currently do not have a nephew named Steven so I cannot miss my nephew Steven.

Thank you for the random history lesson that has nothing to do with the thread at hand, I read some of it.

ok but your point makes absolutely no sense even if you think it does.

It's even worse now that you have responded. At least earlier you just looked like a homer stirring the pot...

And that example with Steven, I mean, really?

Cool story, about your imaginary nephew Steven.

I know you think you are clever but intentionally misunderstanding a words meaning isn’t very clever.

 

[Seras]

I know you think you are clever but intentionally misunderstanding a words meaning isn’t very clever.

I'm not the one who can miss something I've never experienced, apparently this player can and he can miss to such a degree that he would want to leave his home for it.

If he wanted to leave he would not have signed a 7 year contract.

This entire thread makes no sense

If someone signs for 7 years I would assume they want to stay there for 7 years

He could have been the best of us all.

Oh. So you just don’t understand what the word means. You can indeed fail to reach an achievement you have never accomplished before. Hope that helps you understand what the word miss means. Come back again and I can teach you more.

 

[Cats2TheCup]

Watch him go to florida.

Was always part of the plan

 

[nbwingsfan]

This is Brady's 7th season with the sens, and it looks like they might not make the playoffs again. Assuming they do miss, do you think he will ask for a trade?

Note, his brother Matthew made the playoffs with the flames 4/6 times, and still left. Would Brady really stick around for another season, in your opinion?

Not sure if he asks for one, but trading his should certainly be explored.

 

[Montreal Shadow]

Can’t take a joke?

 

[Xspyrit]

I know you think you are clever but intentionally misunderstanding a words meaning isn’t very clever.

I'm quite confused, maybe he's using a traduction tool and doesn't speak one word of english?

If someone signs for 7 years I would assume they want to stay there for 7 years

I have no idea what he thinks deep inside. My take from 2020 is that this team wouldn't go anywhere as long as Melnyk, Dorion and DJ were there, despite having the best u-23 pool in the NHL

Ownership and management changed last year, coaching changed this year. I don't know how much more he wants to wait before "giving up" on the team. Maybe 1 year, maybe 5 years, who knows?

Can’t take a joke?

A joke? lol

- "he ain't the brighest light in the Chrismas three"
- "he'll want to GTFO of that shit team"

If someone tells you Montreal is a dump and then proceeds to say your mom is dumb and ugly, would it be considered a joke? I personally didn't care about that post but that poster had the right to be annoyed.
