Eichel wanted out and wanted to have a serious surgery that would keep him out a year. If you don’t think that brought down his value then you don’t know what you’re talking about

Eichel is also a center and better buddy

It’s a good thing that he’s probably not being traded so you’ll never have to worry about it. But one of those two players averaged a point per game when he was healthy and the other hasn’t until this year.

Tkachuk was over a point per game last year so that’s false.

Centre my ass. Laine got traded for Dubois , doesn’t mean anything .

Brady cannot chose who he waives to, isn’t injured , didn’t ask for a trade , has a ton of term left and plays a unique game as a power forward.

Whoever wants him will have to overpay and the Sens will get a haul

You’re right, I was mistaken. He only did it last year. He’s not going to this year.

They’d definitely get a good return, but suggesting they’ll get someone like Dobson, Faber, or Nemec is absurd. They’d be looking at something similar to the Eichel or ADB trade package

One day csick wants to trade Tkachuk, the next day csick says Tkachuk is the most untouchable player on the planet.

In Columbus new gm wants to make his mark. They Think the team is ready to compete (for better or worse, this also assumes jiricek and Johnson commit fully to improving and being given spotlight ) he offers you laine and the 4th overall pick for Tkachuk.

I appreciate your not asking for Fantilli.

That's probably a fair ask for the guy but I wouldn't want to pay it.

You already know I’m down provided it’s not first overall.

That's fine, you can keep him and that's understandable.

... But #1RHD >>> Top line wingers every single time lol.

& I’m not disagreeing with you. I think if Tkachuk were moved it would be for a price that fans of the other team wouldn’t like. 100% agree.

But to your same point - Faber and Dobson aren’t available either. You want them you have to pay for them, you said that exact thing. & top pair right handed defenders are at more of a premium than Tkachuk is. So yes, Ottawa adds to those deals.

Laine has negative value.

I know ott should not trade Brady but I would give 2 out of the 3 plus

Sure. I disagree but sure. Do you take it.

No. Depending on Norris + Laine to get thru a season is just not smart.

If the Hawks pick isn't 1st overall, I'd send it for Tkachuk 1 for 1.

He also scored more goals this year and played with worse teammates
