why is OTT adding a 3rd player when Tkachuk is the best player in the deal -- seems to favor NYR.

that's a bad trade for Ottawa, Tkachuk is the best player in the deal and they get nowhere near good value for him

you definitely deserve to get flamed for this one

Tkachuk doesn't sign that deal. Add 1 mill every year

NYR adds Miller and a 2nd.

Not really, considering Lundkvist and Kravtsov are elite prospects that are likely to become part of Ottawa's core in year or two. Not everyone follows prospects, especially European ones, but I do. And these guys are the top-class.

"Franchise prospect" Vitali Kravtsov

I love Miller and everything but we don’t need more LDs

Tkachuk is already playing at the NHL level though and succeeding and dominating in certain areas. Prospects are hit or miss -- I fully believe that Lundkvist and Kravtsov will be good players in the NHL from what I've seen, but Tkachuk is a guarantee and is already at a high level. He's the most valuable piece in this trade.

NYR fans are out of control with these trades.

This is worse than the eichel ones, which is frankly impressive

Every player is untouchable

Sigh

Not saying it's a trade Ottawa would make, but geez why do the Rangers need another 50 point LWer at that cap.

That would be an absolute no from Ottawa, way too little coming back for a player of Brady’s calliber

lol yes. And I'll be the first one to say that nobody should feel "insulted" from trade proposals... But this right here... is painful to look at


Lundkvist and Brännström have a similar value, there's less than 1 year difference in age and both are undersized but Brannstrom has a lot more NA pro experience (Lundkvist has none) so he is well advanced in terms of "NHL growing pains". Unless Rangers fans think NL will be a world beater right away?

Rangers fans can be high on Kravstov all they want but Sens fans have all the reasons in the world to be very high on Greig as well, who just turned 19 y/o (Kravtsov is almost 22)

Even if you concede that Kravtsov has more value, the difference is not Brady Tkachuk

In the real world, the offer would be more Kravtsov and Lundkvist (with Brannstrom and Greig completely out of it) but frankly, Sens would possibly look for different players, it would depend on offers from all the other teams. They would/should look at a 1 for 1
