The Sabres also have a pretty good trade asset in Peterka who seems to be not happy as well. What are the Sabres going to do? Sit on their hands? Kevyn's been doing that for 4 years now. Yes, I'd rather have 3 years of Tkachuk going to the net and changing the way the Sabres play than Peterka and some picks.So let me get this straight. You're be willing to trade premium assets for 3 years (effectively only 2) of Brady Tkachuk and then when it's been painfully obvious that he was never going to re-sign have to trade him in the last year of his contract when his NTC has kicked in for a fraction of what you originally traded for him?
That's incredibly f***ing stupid.
The best outcome for the Sabres when it comes to Brady is that he gets delt to the West and re-signs there so there's no chance of joining his brother in Florida.
This conversation is so dumb. It's never happening.
I'd gladly take 3 years of Tkachuk playing the way he does in Buffalo, and then signing somewhere else.
Remember when fans thought it was incredibly f*cking stupid to back the Brinks truck up to try to get an aging Shane Doan to Buffalo just prior to the Sabres tank? Doesn't seem so incredibly f*cking stupid now.
