That's nice.

It very likely equals my level of interest in trading Boldy.

So we're even. Sound fair?

However, my prior comment has f***all to do with your's and my level of interest in moving our teams players. Instead, it dealt with one factor, and one factor only. Perceived player values.

You made a asinine comment in regards to what it would cost to acquire Tkachuk. My response was made entirely to disabuse you of that notion, and set the record straight.

You don't want to move Brady? That's fine.

Wanna state that it'd take an overpay to pry him out of Ottawa? Also fine.

But asking for THREE total equivalent 1st round talents in value back for him when one of those pieces involved is one that carries the EXACT SAME LEVEL of value of Brady himself is where I draw the line. Asking for anything more than that, especially two top prospects in this case, is going to get you ripped to shreds. Everytime.

Just saying.

Can we NOT trade for Brady, please.

He's never has been or played a single second of time at RW on his off-hand side for the entirety of his career. He's strictly a LW.

So playing him there is asinine.

Boldy on the other hand IS and always has played RW whenever he wasn't being experimented at center. RW is his NATURAL position.

Furthermore, Boldy is quite literally in the same class of player/tier as Brady, with similar levels of production over the last three years and damn near the same PPG. Brady just hits more. Well good for him. BOLDY COSTS $1.2M LESS, FOR TWO YEARS LONGER.

Even if this were to happen. That's not a trade I'd consider, as it'd strictly be a 1v1, so throwing BOTH Lambos AND Rossi into the deal for a VERY late 1st is questionable at best.

We're much much better off keeping both Boldy and Rossi, and their combined future production, than packaging them in a gross overpay for a player we neither need or should want over what we already have.
