I wonder if the Oil could make a 3 way trade just to mess with Calgary. Tkachuk would eat the current Flames alive

He's a guy where I'm not sure is worth it, but as a general rule, I wish NHL GMs worked more like NBA GMs and actually made some big trades every now and then, instead of either rentals or "here's a 4th round pick for your 6th defenseman."

Tkachuk for Tkachuk straight up
How do you figure? The Flames have Lucic and Ritchie. Both are tougher than anyone the Oilers can throw over the boards.

This Sens fan passes. Ottawa is perfectly happy with Brady.
I hate " taking calls" rumors.
thanks captain obvious.
Every GM takes calls on their players. What the heck is the harm in listening.
Its the worst type of clickbait rumor there is.
It would only be rumor worthy imo if for instance it was "Flames making calls for Tkachuk"

Great player, but the lack of term is scary. He'll be in a position to sign a $9 mil 1 year deal via the qualifying offer to become a 2023 UFA, if a team doesn't want to undercut him by filing for arbitration. That's a ton of leverage for a significant deal.
I would rather endure the everlasting pain of having my fingernails peeled off then see Matt Tkachuk in an Oiler jersey

F*** your ice cream!
Tkachuk for the constellation Orion. Straight up

I'll play along.
Value wise this is as much as I'd offer from Canucks.
9th overall
Podkolzin
Rathbone
2022 2nd round pick
* Canucks would have to make other trades or buyouts to make the cap work*
Thats basically:
- top 10 pick
- Canucks best F prospect who plays a very similar style as Tkachuk
-Canucks best D prospect who has shown loads of potential in his limited showing
- 2nd round pick in a deep draft

I'll fall over laughing if Calgary trades Tkachuk and gets a bigger haul than Buffalo does for Eichel. And I feel for Buffalo fans - it's a great hockey city, but Kim Pegulla is the worst. Granted, Eichel's health concerns are maybe a factor, but Tkachuk getting a bigger return would be wild.

The only framework that makes sense for the Flames. Obviously have no problem with adding

Maximum chaos. Seattle get him, retain 50% and flip him to Edmonton.

You had your chance in 2016.
Joking, but if there was a trade I wouldn't want to see him 8 times a year.

NBA GMs can also do that because generally every 3 years they get a chance at snagging top 10 talents in the league (if you're a preferred destination); and if you're not, you always have to swing for the fences because the stars you draft won't stay there past the length of time they need to stay there.
