Feels steep for Brady imo

I don’t think you guys should be doing that if that’s the ask

I'll tell you what. When you your GM places Clarke on waivers in October Flames may consider but probably won't put in a claim on him. Deal?

Hawks decline. Makes no sense to trade Kurashev coming off a breakout season to fill the opening on 3rd pair RD.

I think the Hawks decline, even if it were Kurashev for Marino straight up (i.e., without also including a 3rd round pick to NJ)... Kurashev is younger, can play up and down the line-up, cheaper, and may still be growing his game. Who knows, he could even be a piece for the long term in the Hawks' rebuild.

I could see the Hawks being interested in Marino if they traded Murphy off (i.e., as Murph's replacement), but even then I'd want to find a different asset to trade for him.

Interesting idea, though! Thanks for posting it. Cheers

Not at all.
None of these pieces are turning into top line / top pair .

I would trade Brady for Zegras before doing any of this deal lmao

Brutal for ottawa. The quality just isn’t there. None of the 3 pieces are valuable enough to be a centerpiece

Brother let's say we did get Mercer + Nemec for Brady package, who would you target to fill the bottom 6 + defense to add size and toughness?

Let’s say the Sens do this proposed trade of Mercer + Casey + 10.

They draft Helenius at 10.

A core of Stutzle , Mercer, Helenius , Pinto, Greig , Sanderson, Parekh, might be good but it won’t be good enough to be a contender.

They’d be too good to tank for the top liners but too bad to contend .

It would basically be Stutzle + a bunch of 2nd liners .

Casey is undersized , we probably have no room to play him anywhere or a partner for him.

That trade just doesn’t make sense

I’d agree with that. The sens best shot of winning a title is with Brady and building around him. He should only be moved if he demands out. If he demands out, the return will be disappointing as it always is.

Zegras would make more sense for Ottawa because of his upside, whereas my perspective comes from winning now, and the preference of Mercer defensively and his cap hit shorter term.

Whereas Ottawa, if they moved Tkachuk, would be needing a 2nd star forward.

there’s also the issue of being worse short term which means a forfeited lottery pick in 2026. 😅

Oh I understand it's a overpayment, but all of NJ media is hyping up Brady and the Hughes connection and relationship, your GM is related to him apparently and half the league would put an offer for Brady. NJ has the ability to land him over everyone with Mercer + Nemec and I'd even be willing to add something reasonable on top of Brady for them both. It's a for fun site so just try to have some imagination smile

If Tkachuk is on the market NJD could afford him over everyone without including Nemec.

Nemec+Mercer for Thachuk+7th overall and I’d maybe consider it. Would likely pass tho.

I'm sure Buffalo could beat offer NJ has without Nemec.

Then go send Tkachuk in division. If Buffalo wants to be the team to pay the moon they can go right ahead

Brady won't be going anywhere unless he asks for a trade. In that case any offer from NJ would have to start with Nemec + NJ's 2024 1st. Adding Mercer to one of those wouldn't be enough adding Jack Hughes would be too much.
