I no longer know how to ascertain this information without Capfriendly. f*** you, Ted
EDIT: Wait how did I not know about CapWages?
With all this Brady Tkachuk trade talk going on, should the Blackhawks get in on it?
Here’s what I think would be a legitimate offer…
Roster player…Philipp Kurashev
Prospects…Louis Crevier, Samual Savoie
Draft picks…Toronto’s 2024 1st rounder and an unprotected 2026 1st rounder
Hawks would a legit power forward signed til 2028
Sens would get an unprotected 1st rounder for the Gavin McKenna 2026 draft, a late 1st rounder next years draft, Kurashev for their current roster and two prospects of the same ilk as Tkachuk
What do you all think?

that is probably a fair offer. my guess is something like that would happen in the offseason when teams have more space.
I think Ottawa would get better offer than that. Blackhawks should do that in a heartbeat though..
On paper, it seems relatively fair. I do think you meant Toronto's pick in 2025 right
To me, Kurashev and Crevier are pretty much throw ins and Savoie is somewhat intriguing but not the kind of guy to realistically step into the top 6 and replicate anything near what Tkachuk would.
If I'm Ottawa, the only really intriguing asset in the deal is that 26 1st or shot at McKenna. But the odds of the happening are relatively low. Now that draft looks to be pretty stacked and there might be a great player available with that pick but if I'm the Ottawa GM, I might be fired before I get the chance to make it. And yeah, somehow I'm convinced the lottery balls will not let McKenna end up there. I'm telling you he's gonna end up in Pittsburgh...
So if I'm Ottawa and actually trade Tkachuk, I'd want the centerpiece of the deal to make a more immediate impact.
No. Tkachuk contract options are not good if true.
I wouldn't trade out 1st round picks until we are at least playoffs team.
Tkachuk was 4th pick overall and pretty unicorn as player. There is no guarantee that Hawks first pick (let say 2026) can offer you same caliber player even if its top 5 pick.

Not giving up an unprotected 1st in 2026. We suck too much for that and Brady won’t help enough. Doesn’t make sense for us.
Sens also say no. They very likely want a hockey trade.

Giving up an unprotected 1st in the McKenna draft is probably the worst idea you've had since you proposed hiring Daryl Sutter as coach, maybe even worse.
Roster player…Lucas Reichel
Prospects…Oliver Moore, Ethan Del Maestro
Draft picks…Toronto’s 2024 1st rounder and an #1 ova protected 2026 1st rounder which becomes 2027 unprotected if Blackhawks select #1 in 2026.
People need to be realistic with offers and its going to take a massive haul to pry him out of Ottawa

I disagree alot here. If Blackhawks can land Matthew Schaefer in this draft they are in the exact position to swing for a homerun move using later draft plus prospects to acquire a legit young star to put next to Bedard. I don't know why I feel this way but Bedsy is not long for this organization if we continue to be a bottom feeder team. The kids desire and passion to win and be a star will make him leave if we dont start winning sooner rather than later.

I think they're one more draft cycle away from that, personally. Too many unknowns in terms of who is going to stick and who is going to flop with the prospects we have at the moment.
I also don't think Brady Tkachuk is the guy you make a bigtime move for.
The center piece of the deal would be the ‘unprotected’ 2026 1st rounder…maybe adding say Lukas Reichel instead of Savoie would workOn paper, it seems relatively fair. I do think you meant Toronto's pick in 2025 right

I know. My point was that the centerpiece of a deal for a player like Tkachuk cannot be a draft pick that's a year and a half away - no matter who is coming out that year. If a GM is going to let a guy like that go with years of a team friendly contract remaining, they need someone coming back that makes a more immediate impact because they might be fired before they can make that pick.
I know people on here are obsessed with keeping the pick the might become McKenna. The way I see it, the chances of that pick becoming #1 aren't all that high and other GMs know this. So rest easy people, that pick WILL NOT be traded this season. For KD to trade it away, it would need to be for a player like Tkachuk or Kaprizov. And no GM would accept that offer unless someone like Nazar, Korchinski, Levshunov, or Reichel was packaged with it. I don't see KD offering that either.
