Confirmed with Link: Tkachuk signed a seven-year, $57.5 million deal. The AAV is 8.214 million

[ThreePosts]

Anyone find confirmed contract details, specifically whether he got some form of NMC? I always wondered if that was an unreported sticking point for a long-term deal...

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

If you're basing it purely off points:

Tkachuk has scored 125 points in 198 games prior to signing his deal. A 52pt/82g pace.
Wilson scored 104 points in 381 games prior to signing his deal. A 22pt/82g pace.

Tkachuk point per game pace is 136% higher than Wilson's was.
His AAV is only 61% higher.

Looks like we got a deal.

Wilson didn't get his contract because of the 381 games prior. He got it because of of his 78 games prior and his 21 game playoff performance in a cup winning effort.

And wasn't that his UFA contract as well?

unique doesn't mean better though. bad way to build a team. When the guy who should be the 4th or 5th best player on a contending roster is the highest paid (until the other better players start saying wait a minute)

I didn't say it means better, what I'm saying is without comparables it is difficult to put a market value on what he brings. His intangibles are the type that people playing the game often place more value on in terms of effecting outcomes than those watching do, which is probably why we see a discrepancy between some fans accesment of his value and the teams.

Who is right, idk. But in the end, all I'm saying is I don't see the gloom and doom you do when moving on to Norris Stützle and Sanderson who don't have that intangible mystique.

I'll reserve being mad for if we ever lose players due to cap constraints, be they internal or league.

For now, woooooooooh

Wilson was an RFA with 5 seasons under his belt, Tkachuk has 3.

NMC for part of the deal.

because he's an old school type forward that doesn't exist as much?

And i value Brady a lot. Ideally you have a player like Brady on every line of your roster. But paying him phenom money? That's hard to justfy even with this mystique which has a lot to do with his last name and the teams own efforts to crown him as a leader from the start.

probably the best way to look at it lol.

I will enjoy tonights game a lot more with Brady in the lineup.

he needs to spend near the cap

I mean, Norris next off-season, Stützle the one after that and Sanderson (likely) the one after that. Let’s not waste our cap room on some shitty UFA, let’s have enough to sign our guys.

 

[Micklebot]

Wilson was an RFA with 5 seasons under his belt, Tkachuk has 3.

Forgot to mention, Wilson also got 16 mil in signing bonuses

Time to start complaining about another player.

Also, I have no idea where to put this so I’m going to ask here. I got a Tkachuk jersey, I believe the Fanatics. The nameplate is hand stitched on but I’ve only worn it once and the letters are peeling off the name plate. Can the Sens store fix this?

 

[Crookshank]

if Norris paces for the same or more as Brady why would he accept anything less than 6.5? Or heck even 7.5?

why should he? According to the Suzuki Contract he will be worth 7+

Full NMC in his UFA years

He signed the contract at 24 years old, and gave up 3 years of UFA. Same as Brady.

You're right though, Wilson didn't get his contract because of the 381 games prior. Neither did Tkachuk.

They both got their contracts because of what their teams expect them to do in the future. Both contracts are based on projections.

Wilson's worked out. But it easily could have been a disaster.

We'll see what Brady turns into.

If in 2 years, the cap is at $90M and Brady is putting up 30 goals and 70 points? It'll be great. If the cap is still at $81M and Brady is putting up 20 goals and 50 points? It won't be.

yep

 

[Crookshank]

yea 3.2 million for intangibles... I doubt there has ever been an NHL contract signed with that kind of premium.

Ever get tired of being miserable? lol

Gotta lighten up

 

[GCK]

Love this

 

[topshelf15]

With that NMC ,Brady still decides what he wants to do...If EM doesnt follow through Brady will ask for a trade,which is fair....Now its up to our management/ownership to build a winner

 

[Micklebot]

Wow, that's a bit shocking. I'd have expected a 10 list or something.

I don't let hockey make me miserable. I watch it because of enjoyment.

 

[SensFactor]

Brady pulls every other player on the team into the fight each game. He is the heartbeat of this team and we have him for 7 more years.

Go support the team live and show the players they have a rabid fan base still. It's the least we can do as fans.

I'll be in the 300s, see everyone tonight!

Brady wants the opportunity to force a trade to STL is how it looks to me.

Probably the biggest concession for him to move off the signing bonus and give term...
