Is Brady Tkachuk currently overrated?

[HockeyVirus]

He might not fetch as big a return as Sens fans expect.

I think they will tbh. Some caveman GM is going to think paying the farm for him will make them contenders like the Panthers.

And not like M. Tkachuk went for nothing. He returned a 130 point forward and top pairing D + a first

What we have evidence of he is a questionable leader on an NHL team and plays far too much empty calories hockey. Getting in fights in last5 minutes of games to look like he did something type of thing.

He hasn't shown he will consistently do the things needed to win which is a large reason why the Sens never take steps forward no matter who they rotate around him.

You do realize this is extremely similar to what people said about Matthew in Calgary right? How you gonna say he isn’t his brother and then criticize him in the exact same way.

Because he isn't his brother. What Matthews does or doesn't do has 0 impact on what Brady does or doesn't do.

maybe try not criticizing him for things Matthew was criticized for if you don’t want to compare him to Matthew?

Brady is getting criticized for things Brady has done. Has nothing to do with Matthew.

and matthew got criticized for the things Matthew did. They just happen to be similar criticisms.

At this point pretty clearly yes. So many people project his brother on him (like all NHL brother pairs. Alex Nylander gets compared to Willy and they are nothing alike) but he is not his brother.

Someday Ottawa will trade him and return a massive haul and clearly win the trade. They will be a better team after that deal.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "empty calories hockey"?

He's a pretty clutch scorer. Since entering the league in 2018, he's tied for 16th in the league in OT game winning goals (with 8), only one behind Crosby, MacKinnon, Matthews, Marchand, etc. Which is impressive considering how few wins the Sens have in that time period.

i blame fantasy hockey, where he's ranked more/less in the top 5 skaters because of his peripheral stats.

Guy is still a very good player. He's not the unicorn some might have you think.

He sure is so just drop him off in Montreal. Habs will give him a shot.

Great idea. The team is already in the basement, so why not stay there?

A very odd obsession with Ottawa.

Zero points. That is impressively bad. He was having a solid year. Playing hurt?

Closet Sens fan. Posts more on the Sens than the leafs.

It is only a matter of time until Brady becomes a Panther.
