Reminds me of the summer the Sabres lost Briere and Drury in UFA. It was devastating. Feel bad for Flames fans but atleast you might get some assets back For Tkachuk.
Voight

Got that in early on in the Gaudreau thread, a bit later with this one.
Poor Flames fans. I hope Gaudreau and Tkachuk suck on their new team (unless Tkachuk ends up in Pittsburgh)

Pass on the Debrincat for M. Tkachuk.
Debrincat brings a lethal finisher the Sens we’re lacking and fits so well with Stützle and Giroux on paper.
Adding Matthew would be insane but there simply isn’t any fit under the cap or lineup.
If Matt really wants to play with his brother. He takes the one year, regardless of if it’s in Calgary or a team he’s traded too. Wait until next summer and see what Ottawa does then. Signs as a UFA. A lot has to go right for Ottawa for that to happen.
For it to happen now, Zaitsev has to be included, +Batherson, +Grieg, +JBD, +’23 Ott 1st. Even then Ottawa adds and I don’t think it happens.

Every single one of us, the devil inside
I think you can only trade away picks from the next three drafts, and Pitt still has all their 1sts, but no additional 1sts, so they don't have 4 1sts to trade.
Francis brought that up in an interview today. As well as the JT Miller situation.
It does make sense for American players to want to play closer to home. It has become a nightmare to travel in Canada.
Francis even brought up a point about Canadian GM's possibly avoiding American born players in the draft.
It is something to think about if the trend continues

Three way trade
To Boston: Kreider (waives NMC for hometown club)
To NYR: Tkachuk
To Calgary: Debrusk, Kakko, Lundkvist, Bos 1st
Probably a bit more in prospects or picks to Calgary from Boston’s side.
Why? Because I want Tkachuk on the Rangers. That’s all. Get in there Drury!

I just provided 3 sources. Likely the 2 most connected insiders in hockey and multiple guys connected to the Flames. Not sure what more you could possibly ask for.

2 is better than one
No you didn’t. You referenced speculative or opinion pieces. I know exactly what you’re talking about and none of those sources actually stated the Devils offered the 2OA. Not that it really matters and it’s silly we’re still talking about this.

Way too much has been made of that. It's just part of a fantasy that he just needs to be in Toronto. He shows his emotion on the ice and isn't that expressive off the ice.
I do think it is possible McDavid leaves one day but his draft reaction isn't a good insight. He likely stays if the team continues to be more competitive
A big worry for me is if Canada continues these covid restrictions. McDavid or Drai could leave over that, and it wont be to Toronto

With rumours of Tkachuk on the move. I've come up with a Blockbuster trade similar to one Burke made with Phaneuf trade.
Calgary
Marner
Reilly
Toronto
Tkachuk
Andersson
Flames get a replacement for Johnny Hockey. Leafs a thoughess for the playoffs. Who says no?

Tkachuk for Lafreniere and a 1st. Why would the NYR trade Kreider after he just scored 50 goals?
