Matthew Tkachuk Trade?

[PenguinHunter]

And they're being universally praised for it.

They are being praised for letting Gaudreau walk for nothing?

I think you are fooling yourself into thinking this.

Maybe they are being universally praised for not giving him 11 million a year for 8 years....

but not for the fact that they didn't get anything in return.

Anyways...

There must be something crappy about playing for the Flames that they can go from winning the division to their two best players wanting out... and quick.

Ah right. That was so unintelligible and asinine I couldn't read it properly, didn't think someone would actually suggest that as an option. Agreed. They could let him walk for nothing next summer. That is a second (albeit moronic) option.

Glad to see you finally "got it". At this point, I think I'd rather have my bag stapled to my leg than go back and forth with you. Have a great day.

When you fundamentally cannot recognize sarcasm <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Time for teams like Edmonton, Calgary and Winnipeg to rethink their draft strategy and start draft predominantly Canadian players.

When you are in your 20s, you want to play in a large metropolitan area and in Columbus, Calgary, Winnipeg, Buffalo, etc. You want to be in Florida, California and NY. That changes once you start thinking about starting a family.

The Athletic said Tkachuk would sign long term in St Louis, Las Vegas, Florida, Nashville and Dallas. Lots of low-tax locations there.

[2014olympicgold]

Odds as of today for Tkachuk's team come opening night of 2022-23 season:
Florida - +1200
VGK - +1400
Blues - +3000
Stars - +4500
Nashville - +5000

Blues +3000 please.

Damn....no Red Wings. I guess they have Tkachuk-lite in Bertuzzi. Now I really wish they already dealt him for a massive haul.

"It appears 's days in Calgary could be numbered. According to Jeremy Rutherford and Hailey Salvian of The Athletic, Tkachuk has informed the Flames he will not re-sign a long-term deal with the team and a trade involving the 24-year-old forward is likely to happen soon. The Athletic reports Tkachuk has supplied the Flames with a list of teams he would sign with, and cite one source listing the St. Louis Blues, Vegas Golden Knights, Florida Panthers, Nashville Predators and Dallas Stars as options."

I know Ottawa isn't on that list, but wouldn't the Brothers Tkachuk be awesome playing on the same team? Assuming the elder sibling is willing to give Ottawa a shot, what would it take to get him? DeBrincat plus one of Sanderson, Greig or Pinto, maybe add a draft pick? Both DeBrincat and Tkachuk are 40 goal scorers and 24 years old, but Tkachuk is the player everyone would want, so how much extra would Ottawa have to ante up for it to work?

Imagine the fun of having TWO Tkachuks to play against, lol!

[Reverend of Hockeytown]

I dont see Debincat moving just after dealing for him.
If Ottawa was a player I would think Batherson + would have to be starting point.

But my understanding is that Tkachuk provided a list of teams he's sign with - St. Louis, Nashville, Dallas, Florida are the top places he might land from reports I saw.
