Thread: Tarasenko
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bryzgalovs_bears</b></div><div>Funny I was just about to make a armchair gm where Tarasenko becomes a Capital.

Idk maybe Eller, Burakovsky, and Bowey with the picks in season to make the cap work. Stephenson is practically an Eller clone.

I think Jensen will go to you guys too (or Nashville). You'll love him he's really competitive and takes advantage of his chances. He'll take off some pressure from Carlson and Niskanen.</div></div>

Thanks, Breezy!

Yeah, I think Burakovsky and Bowey are more realistic building blocks for a trade, given Burakovsky is once again in the doghouse, and Bowey, while he has so much skill and potential, is still so young. A lot of teams prefer older guys on their blue lines for the playoffs, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Bowey traded for a top six forward, to a team that has an immediate top four opening for a phenomenal offensive defenseman, as the Blues will soon, if Leafs Nation has any say in the matter.

Adding Eller lets you bring Wilson back sooner, but so would adding Kempny who, on paper, is as good as Parayko this year. I may have posted a variation of that, recently, and I do think it's a little more realistic for Washington than the above..... but Sam was not excited about it.

Thread: Big Z Retires
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bryzgalovs_bears</b></div><div>Zadina is going to play in GR most of the season. Better junior players (Huberdeau, Dubois, Marner, Drouin) have been sent back to the juniors and the Wings never give roster spots to players drafted that year. It's Svech's and Rasmussen's spots to lose. Bert is going to play with Moe and Larkin. Nyquist isn't worth a 1st. He's worth about a 2nd and 4th. Grabner trade for comparable. Vanek has a NTC and he never really gets much interest at the deadline. He'll probably stay with us all season.</div></div>

Agreed at best Nyquist will get us a 2019 2nd+2020 3rd round pick. Pretty sure that it was reported that Vanek wont waive this time. Reportedly he's staying with Detroit the entire season.

Thread: (MTL / VGK) - Tatar, Suzuki, 2019 2nd for Pacioretty
I see Montreal being big winners here. Although Tatar didn’t have a good run w Vegas after he got traded, he’s still capable of being a 40 point player. Once he gets his numbers back up, Montreal can retain salary on Tatar and get some more assets there. Nick Suzuki is an amazing prospect as well. He’s one of the most defensively responsible forwards in the OHL, and he put up 100 points to go along with it. Throw in a 2nd round draft pick and it’s a great return for Montreal.

All this for a guy who (in all likelihood) wasn’t going to resign. Montreal should’ve had zero leverage in this negotiations and they still came out with an incredible return, especially Suzuki. I never thought I’d say this, but good deal by Bergevin

Thread: Ottawa Senators signed Brady Tkachuk (3 Years / $3,425,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mothariah</b></div><div>Why does everyone keep saying he is a lock to play in the NHL this season? The kid had 8 goals last year in college. EIGHT. I get he has other elements to his game, and I not doubting that he will be a good NHL player, but there is no reason to rush him to the NHL when this team is going to be dreadful.

Am I the only one who thinks it might be a good idea to NOT see him in the NHL in 2018-19? Let him tear it up in the OHL or AHL and then give him a spot on the top line when Stone leaves.

As someone who follows the NCAA college hockey scene closely, I don't see anything in his game that shouts "NHL Rookie of the Year" in 18-19.

I look at it, and I see Casey Mittelstadt might be a comparable, but he at least played his age 18-19 year in college, and scored 30 point in 34 games (Tkachuk had 31 in 40 games).

No offense, but it feels like you're asking Joshua Norris (19th overall in 2017 by San Jose) to come in and play in your middle six. That guy had eight goals last year, too, and NO ONE is talking about him playing in the AHL in 2018-19, let alone the NHL.

Or how about Montreal's Ryan Poehling, who had 14 goals and 31 points in 37 games at St. Cloud last year as a freshman. He's part of an organization that HAS NO CENETERMEN, and yet he still isn't an "NHL player."

(I know offensive numbers aren't everything).

Let the kid develop...</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mothariah</b></div><div>Last point: Clayton Keller had 45 points (21+24) in 31 games in his only season in college. THAT screams "NHLer" to me. And he would have won rookie of the year in a lot of years in his first season after college.

That is NOT what I see is Brady Tkachuk.</div></div>

Couldn't have said it any better, I know he has other elements to his game, but it's bold taking him over Zadina. I found Brady a little overrated, I think it is a really dumb move on his part if he gets sent to Junior, considering he could've built on his rookie season in college.

Knowing the Sens in the hunt not to finish in last place they'll rush him, I can see it. Guy needs to do a lot more developing in his game though.
