A deal for brady consists of Johnson + Jireck/Mateychuck a n d much more


He's not for sale and if the Sens do trade him they don't deserve to ever make the playoffs again lmao

Honestly depends what they move him for . If it’s like Boldy , Nemec etc yes it would be okay .

If it’s Mercer + , they may as well fold the team

As a jackets fan flames and sens definitely decline.

I’d be fine with that return for provorov but I think the team will wait to trade him at the deadline to make sure mateychuk or svozil are ready for full time NHL minutes

Hoo boy. The Flames are looking at moving Markstrom because they need the space; taking back Elvis completely sabotages that. And there's a lot of shiny in that Tkachuk trade but not nearly enough substance for it to work for the Sens, especially given that reports of his availability are greatly exaggerated. "You'll need to give up something that hurts" doesn't mean you combine quantity and quality and hope that does it; it means you need higher quality.

if you’re trying to trade for Brady, ask yourself the question “would I trade Adam Fantilli for this package?” and if the answer isn’t AT LEAST “maybe, but probably not” then don’t bother offering it for Tkachuk

laugh Jacob Markstrom isn't waiving for a rebuilding Blue Jackets team.

Not even close for Brady Tkachuk, Patrik Laine has missed well over 200 games in the past 5 seasons. And the other offer is worthless as well.

At risk of piling on, I like this direction, but the values are off.

I like the idea of making a move for Brady, but if it doesn't include two of Fantilli, Jiricek, Johnson, and our first this year, it's not even a consideration for Ottawa. We can't get quality without giving up quality. Realistically, I'd give up Johnson and Jiricek, plus potentially a Chinakhov, but that would be contingent on picking ~3rd this year and having a good shot at landing Levshunov. Clears out the logjam of forwards, gets some quality now that fits the timeline, and also keeps a legit shot at a 1RD.

I don't have any interest in Markstrom, though, let Tarasov/Greaves and a UFA signing be the goalie tandem going forward.
