Would you rather have Noah Dobson or Brady Tkachuk?

[Nac Mac Feegle]

I wanted Dobson on draft day and still think he would have been a great pick. Having said that I'm not even a little disappointed that we chose Tkachuk.

Same.

I would be happy with either one.

Although like some said, it's a completely different timeline of who we might've signed, where we'd be in the rebuild, the attitude of the team and all of that. Would be nice to jump into a different universe and see how the Dobson Sens would be doing right now...but I'm satisfied with Tkachuk.

This is like having Rihanna as your wife but saying Martha Stewart would also be a good wife because of her pie recipes.

 

[R2010]

Tkachuk was the right choice for the franchise at the time given how things worked out. The real question is why we didn't move Ceci + our other 1st rounder to the oilers for #10 to take Dobson (or Bouchard). They were actively looking to shop the pick for a D-man.

Lots of guys love pie.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Brady's presence inspires Batherson & Stutzle to play a power game. Brady has our young core playing playoff hockey in meaningless game. That, in and of itself, is insanely valuable. Not to mention he's a damn good player.

Dobson, Zadina, Hughes and Brady were my four guys at the draft. I think the Sens got it right, even if he ends up being the 3rd "best" player from that group.

So...short term wild ride, or long term success?

Your preeference can be taken a few different ways, depending where you are in life.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Tkachuk easily. Do you want Dobson leading you into round 1 of the playoffs vs the Leafs or Chucky who can't wait to tear marner's heart out and eat it whilst he watches?

 

[Psycroptic86]

Brady all the way. Dobson of course would fill a massive need on defense, but this team isn't where it is right now without Brady.

 

[Alex1234]

Not sure brady can win that one. This one is him easily tho

edit : sorry i thought this was main boards lol

Brady 17 less points in 6 less games then Svechnikov but one more goal on mucho mucho worst team then the Canes + the physical factor

Agreed. Plus, this year I don't know if team's top defensive pairings will be sent out vs the Norris line - which is a really scary thought for team's 2nd pairings.

 

[OmniSens]

the real question is Hughes vs Brady imo

Still Brady

 

[Do Make Say Think]

I have not kept an eye on Dobson but I'm very happy with Brady.

 

[Agent Zub]

Still Brady

What about Stutzle vs Brady if you had to pick one?

 

[swiftwin]

Brady essentially filled the role of a top 6 veteran to guide us through the rebuild, since we didn't have a top 6 veteran like this. He's probably one of the only players drafted in the last few years capable of doing this because of all his experience being around NHL rinks his whole life, and being so close to his dad and his older brother. Very few other recent draftees could have kept the rebuild from going off the rails considering all the drama and chaos surrounding the team.

 

[OmniSens]

What about Stutzle vs Brady if you had to pick one?

Still Brady

I'm afraid Stutzle starts becoming lazy and disappears for a week at a time a la Kovalev. I think Brady will be consistent and the heart and soul of this team.

Prove me wrong Stu!

I simply think Brady is a general talent in his own playing style.

I’d edit this if I were you, it will not age well. Stuztle’s competitive spirit is greater then his talent at the moment, when these two things are at their max he’s going to be unreal, might end up being the best forward in Sens history

Hence the "Prove me wrong". I'd be nothing but happy if he proved me wrong. I'm a huge Stutzle fan and want him to absolutely tear it up! He's only 20 after all!

Regardless, I stand by my comment. I think Brady's value to this team is just simply bigger.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Always will want the guy who wears the Sens uni

Especially when that guy is the captain and a pretty damn good player as well.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Tkachuk easily, but I would consider moving DeBrincat for Dobson RD.

Don't think I do it.

DeBrincat perhaps the greatest goalscorer we might ever have, and perfect for what this team and Stutzle need.

in my eyes Stutzle already gives more effort over 200 feet of ice than Brady.

I also think it's a lot more likely that Brady's slows down faster than Stutzle because of the style of games they play.

Hopefully we are both wrong and they both give us 10-15 years of peak effort and drive.

 

[edguy]

Brady Tkachuk at the moment is the 2nd most important player in the history of the franchise. Could be the #1 with his projection.

Brady vs Karlsson for most important to the franchise to date could be a very interesting poll. They are definitely 2 and 3.

I've heard rumors about Aragorn's hatred of small players, but like come on.. We just got DeBrincat and you're trying to trade him already?

 

[GCK]

I think the best debate would be Svechnikov vs Tkachuk.

I wanted Svechnikov badly at the draft, I had him at #1. Sometimes you don’t get what you want but you get what you need.

EK Is still the best player to have put on skates for the Sens. But he bombed the runway on his way out of town and it’s easy to forget about him with his injuries. If he was in SJ winning Norris trophies we’d be more upset, but he’s not great and Stutzle is

EKs ego is bigger then his talents and it’s hard to admire a man like that

 

[bicboi64]

I wanted Boqvist, but not sure if I'd pick Dobson over Brady.

Dobson might end up being very valuable to the NYI but he's playing in an environment where he is benefitting off a lot of vet experience.Brady was kinda asked to do a lot himself, especially after Stone was moved
