Should Bettman pull an Adam Silver and force a Brady Tkachuk trade to a major market?

I have a 7kg sledgehammer you can borrow if you want. Or a cricket bat. I think a cricket bat would do nicely.

Yes, force him to be traded to the Bruins. We'll give you Coyle for him

Fashionable right now? Americans have always been thought of as being arrogant by most Canadians and Europeans. And that's putting it politely. It's obviously a stereotype but those exist for a reason. The majority of the world's opinion of America has certainly lowered further in recent months for very obvious reasons which is also why I disagree with you saying that most Americans are intelligent.

It's a good thing that most people here don't care what the rest of the world thinks.

Oh no, we're not the world's piggy bank anymore! Cry some more about it. Meanwhile, speaking of intelligence, you're not going to like the answer of which groups in the US have the lowest IQ on average and who they voted for - because it wasn't for who you're whining about.

Yes, the Islanders will even give up Noah Dobson, Pierre Engvall and Anthony Duclair to help out in the rerun package.

I know it's very fashionable for the entire world and especially Canadians to make dumb American jokes right now. But you need to be careful about this, because
1. It's not true. I'm sure someone will find some YouTube video to say that "show me how dumb Americans are", but seriously, most Americans are nice and intelligent people.
2. You are going to create enemies that you do not need. Not saying you need to kiss anyone's ass, but you guys are going out of your way to create enemies here (talking about the average American or American hockey fan, not public figures).
Just stop it.

Edit: Forgot to mention that this is a terrible idea.

You realize it started because of a dumb US take, from OP, that starts out with, “No offense meant”….. ( which usually means the opposite).

That’s where you should be directing your whining.

With NBA ratings in a free-fall there's a tinfoil case that can be made in regards to the Luka Doncic trade.

So what exactly is the case? What is Adam Silver’s leverage in this scenario that he can force a team to trade a star player against that team’s own self interest?

 

[Mobiandi]

With how much tampering and collusion there is in the NBA, it’s preposterous to wave away league interference in the Doncic trade.

That said, the Tkachuk family is self-serving. If Brady wants out, he’ll force a way out

I don't think you're serious and think you've orchestrated a masterful troll job with this thread.

No it is not a dumb US take. It was one guy making one post.
