Let’s make it clear, Ottawa would not do this.

Nichuskin has his own issues. That on it’s own is an issue I don’t think Ottawa can deal with in their locker room. Avs have a strong core and Nichuskin is a great player but the fit is just not there.

Why Girard? Ottawa already has Sanderson and Chabot on the left side… makes no sense. He’s a smaller guy I don’t see Staios being interested at all.

Overall it’s a bad offer that doesn’t really address the holes Ottawa would need to fill.

Tkachuk to the Avs for Nickushkin + Girard + Kovalenko

Would Avs fans do this?

Pass. That's way too much from the Avs.

If you are trading for Nuke, its under the assumption he'll be clean the rest of his contract. Given contracts (term and $/year), Nuke = Tkachuk. Sure you could throw in Kovalenko, but definitely not adding a top4 dman ontop of that, that's crazy.

We'll even include a year's supply for Nuke too :sarcasm:

I'd do it -- largely because I intensely dislike Nuke and have zero confidence in his ability to stay on the roster moving forward. Doesn't make much sense for the Sens IMO.

Hell yeah from the Avs. I'd kill for either Tkachuk, but to move Nuke potentially quitting on us again at the same time. Huge win.

Value wise though, its pretty solid assuming a sober Nuke, but probably underwhelming from the Sens pov. Quantity > quality.

As good as Tkachuk is and as bad as Nuke's off-ice issues are, this still makes them a worse team (assuming Nuke doesn't get banhammered again).

Now that's a big assumption, but Avs need depth. I'd pass.

There's zero way Nuke holds the value Brady holds. That's pure delusion to even suggest it.

this is really bad for the sens.

tkachuk + for extended rantanen
or
tkachuk for 1st, ritchie, +

nuke would make more sense for a player who also comes with baggage like norris.
