Yeah I saw that…read also that Sens management is “tired of Brady’s immaturity.” Sounds like their locker room is a bit of a mess if any of this is to actually be believed. If there’s any truth to it I would give up a pretty penny to get a Tkachuk back in AZ. I’m sure the ask would be huge but I would at least consider it because he’s still so young himself.

Yet they gave him the "C".
Another example of why you don't make your best player the captain.
Fun fact
since the 2019-2020 season, Ottawa has used 16 different goaltenders and have gone through 3 goalie coach changes.

What? If that is your way of thinking, let's give our C to LOB. I haven't check but I'm willing to bet that most teams put the letters on their teams best players.

Yes, that is my way of thinking. I wouldn't give it to LOB, as he's not here for the long haul, but I wouldn't give it to Keller either. He's a talented player but he's a mouse, and not a captain. Management likely agrees or they would've given it to him already. We don't have a captain in our system yet.

My list of untouchables in a potential Brady Tkachuk trade is pretty damned short.
Brady was too young to be the captain, you need a vet more so that other players respect. I know it mostly goes to your best player, but you have to be careful giving the C to young players.

Guenther, Cooley and Keller for me. Everyone else pack your shit.

I thought it should've been given to Thomas Chabot over Tkachuk.
Maccelli?

I mean honestly that 2020-21 campaign by chychrun is looking more and more like an outlier. It’s the only year he’s looked like a legit top pairing defenseman. He’s still a good second pairing guy. And no, I absolutely do not want him back on the coyotes

The greater question is this: is Jakob Chychrun ever going to be content anywhere?
I mean, this is two teams and two straight trade requests... context of suckage aside, this is not a trend that's going to be looked upon favorably by many GMs.

Trade Dumba and a 2nd to someone to move up into the 1st…could trade Schmaltz and a pick also in another deal that brings back a 1st…then trade a 1st + Crouse + whatever else necessary to get Tkachuk. Probably a pipe dream but that would be sweet.

I'd be more sanguine about trading for Brady Tkachuk if we had a captain - or, indeed, any team leadership who could keep him more or less on the right track. I have a feeling that BA isn't going to want someone who's labeled as "immature" - seems to contradict his whole stance on attitude that he talks about at every draft - without having that safety net.
Tkachuk's are all great players, but the way it looks they all have the "me first attitude."

Considering how my Kings fan friends and family are lashing into PLD lately, that's a pretty devastating statement.
They get it from their dad.
BA approached Chych and gave him an opportunity to leave. He did, it's as simple as that. I don't think he wants to leave Ottawa.
Come on man. Chych plays his heart out.

Yeah, Chychrun isn't PLD. PLD doesn't give a shit. Chych cared about this place and his teammates even after he got sat for trade purposes.
I'd welcome him back with open arms as a free agent.

Yeah I wouldn’t go so far as to say he’s like PLD. PLD doesn’t cry when his new team visits Winnipeg aside from the fact that he’s in Winnipeg

I was kidding. I like Chychrun. Heck, I’d give Ottawa back those two 2nd rounders for him. Keeping But though.
1st rounder + 3rd rounder + Crouse + Jenik…is that enough for Tkachuk? Doesn’t feel like it. But man, imagine having these three lines for a few years…
