There’s some big discrepancies in these deals .

The NJ is by far the best one but it’s an overpay. Remove Mercer and I’d still do it .

yeah but he scored a nasty lacrosse goal today

He was always a scorer but I’m questioning his impact beyond just pts. Sens are where they are because of a lot of empty pts dropped by players

his underlying numbers are very good in the SHL but i will be the first to say is off-puck in the d zone his questionable. still a prospect though.

boeser is a scorer but also one of vancouvers best guys down low in the corners

mikheyev obviously is a very defensively sound forward with questionable finish

I think any team is gonna have to over pay to get BT…putting together a trade for him isn’t easy. I took Kyrou out of the Blues trade and replaced with Snuggs (doubt Blues would even consider). Curious what would you change with those 3? You’re a Sens fan, know more about them than I do.

OTT is not rebuilding, so if there is no top 6 F in their early to mid 20, or top pair RHD in their mid to early 20s then it is a automatic decline. team from within the division will have to greatly overpay.

Shocking a rangers fan makes an awful proposal for NJD

Perhaps NJD is giving up a ****ton because a Rags fan proposed it.

Mercer+1st

Unless NJ falls off the wagon and the pick is top 10 I don’t see it. Mercer doesn’t excite me at all personally

I'd happily replace mercer with multiple 1sts.

NJDs next 3 1sts, top 5 protected. 15 million in surplus value if you value them at 5 mill each.

Or a valuation of Tkachuk as an 11.2 million dollar player. (Personally I value him closer to 10 but I digress)

I just don’t see a Tkachuk trade consisting of magic beans. Picks are magic beans especially when they come from teams that are playoff teams / contenders.

A Brady trade needs at least 1 young piece with top pair or top line potential

2025 1st Reinbacher Xhekaj

Seamus casey can be the centerpiece if you like replacing a 1st+3rd
Holtz can be the centerpiece replacing 2 1sts and us adding a 3rd
Mercer can be the centerpiece with us taking out 2 1sts
Meier can be the centerpiece replacing 1 first
Bratt can be the centerpiece replacing all the 1sts and more coming our way
Hamilton can be the centerpiece replacing a 1st


Nemec, Luke, Nico, Jack are not on the table

Even valuing Nemec at Damon Severson level (which I'd argue he's already at TODAY as a 20 year old) he will make 3 mill over these 3 years, provide 18-19 mill in value (15-16 mill in surplus). and then there's the 4 years of RFA you'd STILL have to pay us for. The value of effective NHLers on ELCs and with RFA control is simply too much.

If we sign nemec to a 4x6 deal walking him straight to UFA, that means he will make 27 mill total for 7 years on our team

Tkachuk will make 41 mill for 5.

Casey is 5’8 . Last time we did it with Brannstrom didn’t work. So also no thanks

Nah insane valuation on Reinbacher

Hahahahahahahaha you’re funny and pathetic. Grow up, you little child. You think you’re gonna get Brady Tkachuk for a bag of popcorn?

Hahahahaha damn you’re good.

I think he’ll cost less than vastly superior players in Matthew and Eichel did

Matthew had 4 teams on his list and still got an insane package
Eichel had a career threatening surgery and still chose where he went

You actually think the Sens would accept Mercer and a 1st for Brady???!!!!! Come on man, you can’t be serious with that.

Yes because again both of those players are much better than Brady Tkachuk

I don't think Brady Tkachuk at 8.2 million is worth any more than that. If you generously value him at 11 million dollars thats 14 million dollars in surplus value over 5 years

If you value mercer for the next 5 years at a very low 5.1 mill AAV (this is what JT Compher just got in UFA lmao) on a 4x4 bridge deal walking him straight to UFA, that is 8.6 million dollars in surplus value). With an approximate value of a 5.5 million dollars for a 1st, it evens out.

Again, that is a VERY low estimate on mercer as he develops, and slightly higher than what I value Tkachuk at.

And both those guys had a reason to have limited offers.

I would legit trade Brady to SJ if they offer the highest package

This guy assumes Tkachuk is replaceable in free agency oh boy 💀

I think something the equivalent of :
Laf
Schneider
1sf

Is what it would take
