Speculation: Trade Targets

[Blackhawkswincup]

Yeah, moving Celebrini who will be cost controlled is non-starter IMO if Hawks win lotto

Dach and Allan IMO wouldn't be of interest to Sens. They would likely ask for

Moore + Lightning 2024 1st + Hawks 2025 1st as basis of any deal IMO even then some teams could potentially beat that (Ducks for instance if they moved Zegras+ in deal)

Not to mention, he's a C, when Tkachuk is a W. You can find pretty damn good scoring wingers with grit all over the NHL, IMO. Legitimate top 6 Cs are much harder to come by, and the Hawks would have two, and three if Nazar sticks at C...

Your top 3 lines being Bedard, Nazar, Celebrini down the middle would be... ridiculous.

Celebrini for Thachuk.

lol, nobody in the League is trading Celebrini for Tkachuk

Probably not, but at least Tkachuk has proven his ability at the NHL level.

 

[BHawk21]

Would you trade 3rd or 4th overall for Brady Tkachuk if offered?

 

[TLEH]

Would you trade 3rd or 4th overall for Brady Tkachuk if offered?

I personally would. 75 point guy. Can fight. Pretty unique guy around the league. Think he would be a great playoff player, think he would be a great space eater for Bedard. Still 25.

Looking at the last few years I would say no. There's only a few players I would trade for Tkachuk at this point in the Blackhawks rebuild. He would instantly make the team better now, that's for sure but you could be shooting yourself in the foot when the window for contention opens up in a few more seasons:

 

[Castle8130]

DO NOT TRADE Celebrini for a Tkachuk brother. That'd be disastrous. 3rd or 4th oa for a Tkachuk brother is a different story. I'd be cool with trading our picks next year if we land Celebrini to go along with Bedard because after those two, all we need is depth



I would trade Cooley, Wright, and Byram for Tkachuk without hesitation. Not sure I agree with you on Raymond and Mctavish. Those guys look like slam dunk hits.

[jls24]

If Celebrini and Demidov are both gone when we pick I'd consider it.

 

[shakes the clown]

Tkachuk at 24 yrs old is exactly what Chicago needs…tough tough tough captain material…signed for four more years…

he may be what they need but there's no way in hell that he's worth Celebrini. That's just insane to even suggest that.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Brady is one of a few players I would considering trading legit assets for, including this years pick if not 1OA.

 

[Styles]

Is this all just speculation or did I miss something with Brady wanting out of Ottawa?

Nothernhawk was saying he wanted out of Ottawa, even though there have been zero reports of it.

 

[TLEH]

Its just a hypothetical, although I wouldn't be shocked if there is a bit of a seat swap done in Ottawa with new ownership, etc. Not sure he'd actually request a trade but his brother did it, he's in Canada too.. Chicago would certainly be a destination he would welcome being close to STL. I would definitely chase it if he became available, but so would a lot of teams.

 

[belfour30]

If Brady Tkachuk is truly available, if they don't get #1 overall I'd trade the Hawks 1st for him.

 

[BHawk21]

Nobody is trading Celebrini for Tkachuk. Celebrinis ELC is major. Hes under team control for so much longer. When you get into bigger question marks is when things change. Im not sure the hawks are close enough yet to make that move tho.

I dont doubt that Brady would ask out at some point. Look what it did for Matthew.

 

[WarriorofTime]

I think we should settle down and not true and rush too much. Brady Tkachuk is six years older than Bedard, he can fit in the timeline in the right circumstance but I wouldn't blow a huge load trying to get him (can definitely kick the tires around it for sure). Certainly if he hits UFA in four years, he's a player that could be a major UFA target then.

 

[ColbyChaos]

Tkachuk would throw a fit the moment he isnt named captain

 

[Wally1112pac]

I'll pass on Tkachuk.

He's a super effective player but the type that breaks down around age 30.

Good point, there's a reason the soft guys like Kessel and DeBrincat play a full 82 every year.

I'm not talking about "soft" or "hard" players.

Hypothetically if there is a Brady Tkachuk player in this draft and we don't get the 1st pick we draft that player. Having an 18 year old Brady Tkachuk in your organization is a perfect situation. But with this roster I wouldn't be trading for him.

Bangers like him don't have as long as a prime as other players do. Ask the Oilers if they would like a mulligan on the Lucic contract. The wheels tend to fall off around age 30. Tkachuk will be 25 next year.

But that’s what I mean. The “soft” guys age better because they don’t have as much wear and tear.

 

[Taze em]

I don’t think you need Big Skill. You need mostly two way skill. I think if you fill a team out with some forecheckers with size.

Nazar is two way skill. Moore should be two way skill. Bedard is not two way skill (yet) but you can handle that when he puts up 100 points.

I wouldn’t feel like I needed Lindstrom. I’m more excited by skill that can PP/PK and produce. Why I was very excited to see Nazar out there all situation.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Brady doesn't fix enough to make the price to bring him in make sense.

 

[Dr Salt]

I'll pass on Brady Tkachuk. I'd rather bring in external high-end talent on the open market where no trade value needs to be acquired. Were still a bit too far out to make those kind of moves.
