Tkachuk Trade

[bruinsfan]

Would Tkachuk be a better player to have on my team during my playoff run than one of these players? If so, which one?

Kunitz
Langkow
Erat
Tucker

Thanks in advance for the advice!

Thas definitely a tough choice to make. Depending on when your list is due(i\'d think at the end of the regular season) you will have plenty of time to see how Tkachuk is gelling in Atlanta. If for any reason you have doubts i\'d go Langkow. I think Calgary is designed for a longer run than Atlanta but only because of Atlanta\'s lack of experience in the playoffs. One thing to consider with Atlanta though is that as a fresh team in the real season they could just start a run and it snowballs into a Finals appearance. That team has a ton of potential to score a lot of goals(look at their earlier season performances) and if that happens Tkachuk stands a good chance of being in on them.
On the flip side Langkow has had a career year but you just never know who he\'s going to be playing with. Having a supporting cast of Iginla, Huselius and Tanguay though can\'t hurt. I think it comes down to who you think is going to go further and then base your decision on that. But by no means take my opinion on the matter, hopefully some guys with more knowledge will have some posts for you as well. GL with your decision, hope it works out well for you.

I sort of like langkow a bit more than Tkachuk, since Langkow\'s been pretty consistant all year. Tkachuk could put up big points with Atlanta, but Langkow plays even strength with Tanguay, and one of the hottest players out there in Iginla, and on the powerplay with Iginla, Tanguay, Phaneuf, and Huselius. How can you go wrong with that?

Atlanta\'s just a mess this year. I haven\'t been impressed with their management at all... How you let Marc Savard go when all he wanted was 5 million is BEYOND me. Hossa, and Lehtonen at times, have been the only bright spots on this team so far this year. Kovalchuk seems like a shadow of his former self without savard there.

..anybody gettin ready to trade this guy or will he break out of his god awful start?

[narduch]

I think he'll break out...he's too good not to. I've been trying to buy low off someone...don't be that guy in your pool haha

[imported_shallowfrozenwater]

you'll regret moving him if you choose to, and you won't get nearly enough back if you're selling low

[Orrfan]

DO NOT MOVE TEIXEIRA.

Look at the guy's history. He is horrible in April every season. Now is the time to buy low if you can! I know I'm trying hard.

[GoldenSeals]

Exactly what Slink is saying. He always starts off slow.
