Confirmed Signing with Link: [OTT] Brady Tkachuk re-signs with Senators (7 years, $8.205714M AAV)

[DaveMatthew]

Great to finally have this done.

Includes a ~1M "Ottawa tax", but that's the cost of getting players to sign here.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

More than Matthew who had 77pts the season before he signed lol

Matthew needs to be re-signed at 9 mil minimum though next year

I mean, that’s to be expected. There was a time that lesser players were signing bigger tickets that Crosby and Ovi were on just due to progression and market inflation

 

[Gurglesons]

Seems like a lot. But admittedly I do not watch the Senators very much and the fan base seems fine with it.

 

[mydnyte]

he has a lifetime high of 25 goals in any hockey league he's ever played in, and that was the US U18's (was 3rd on goals, and 4th in points on that team, 1 pt ahead of Quinn Hughes)

 

[Altimus]

We got the term, happy with that. Not like we have a cap crunch.

Tkachuk eats Suzuki for breakfast.

Right. Produces less, plays a less important position and is a pile of garbage defensively. But somehow is better?

 

[one2gamble]

I don't care. We are a smaller NHL market and have to overpay sometimes

I feel ya fam

this is still a lot though, but as you said, you have plenty of room so it doesnt really matter

 

[sens13]

batherson is better and he gets 4.9 and tkachuk gets 8.2? wtf

 

[Transplanted Caper]

A lot of money, but they got the term. Good for Ottawa. Most important re-signing since Karlsson. They got an American, star, player who was always going to demand what he feels he's worth to commit to the city and the organization. Fans have a real reason to buy into this group. Hopefully the organization reaches out to the community and solidifies that relationship.

cry more

 

[BrannigansLaw]

He's a great player and will easily be worth that contract as soon as this year I'll wager.

 

[Doc5]

I guess this makes the Suzuki signing more palatable

You forgot that brady also looks like sloth from the goonies

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Contract structure is interesting.

4M this year, 6.5M the next, jumps up the 10M after that.

He is so being traded after next season.

 

[le_sean]

cry more

I actually find it hilarious.

 

[JT Kreider]

At one point last season Brady Tkachuk led the league in hits, SOG and penalties drawn

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Lots of cash but he committed long term which is what we all deeply wanted.

I'm pumped.

 

[KevinRedkey]

It's too much but it needed to get done

 

[Cypher]

Landeskog gets 7 as a UFA, Tkachuk gets 8.2 as a RFA.

 

[Hunter368]

I love the player, but that's a lot of money for his results to-date.

 

[Mobiandi]

How did they come to the agreement for that number? Was 8.216 too little for Brady while 8.218 was too rich for Ottawa?

 

[Akrapovince]

I guess this makes the Suzuki signing more palatable

That signing was palatable the day it was signed wtf

 

[SensFactor]

Sens fans are going to enjoy sloth crushing the soft bunnies that the Leafs have up front for years to come.
