Brady Tkachuk is the best forward Ottawa has ever had
Yeah, no. Hopefully.. HOPEFULLY he someday gets mentioned in he same breath as Alfredsson, Hoss and Stone.

Ottawa ranks 4th for prospect pool, seems a bit high but hey, nice to see something positive.
NHL farm system rankings: Best, worst prospect pipelines for 2019-20, from 1 to 31
Sarcasm I’m assuming ?Brady Tkachuk is the best forward Ottawa has ever had
Alexei Yashin, Dany Heatley and Jason Spezza would like a word.

I love Brady, and I'm the first to admit I wanted Hughes/Dobson ahead of him, and while Hughes is still debatable, now Brady >> Dobson.Not sarcasm, reality. He’s going to put up an entry level contract that will reset the Ottawa record books and by the time he is done will be he Captain and the best forward (Chabot the best player) on the team
I would easily take Hughes or Dobson over Brady. As much as I bashed the pick, I loved his game last year but those two are gonna be elite at their position. Chabot-Dobson would have been the best D pair in the league over the next few years.I love Brady, and I'm the first to admit I wanted Hughes/Dobson ahead of him, and while Hughes is still debatable, now Brady >> Dobson.
But I think of we get a pick in the top 5 next year, that player will be the best forward on the team for the long run. Just my opinion. I think Laf, Byfield, Raymond, Lundell, Perfetti and Holtz all have much higher ceilings. Brady will probably make a bigger impact when it matters most though due to his playing style.
I do think he's the future captain though.

Dobson wouldn’t even be the best D on his team, Tkachuk is going to be the best LW in hockey
Agreed. And if we land 1OA next year, we will have the best LW in hockey.Last year two LW’s scored 50+ goals. Ovy is a generation player and the other had 100+ pts playing with McDavid.
I don’t think Tkachuk will ever score 50G/100pt type seasons.... but here’s hoping he does. Brady will bang a little more but top LW in hockey is a lofty bar.
Lassi Thomson projected NHL arrival next year??? Seems optimistic
He'll probably do exactly what Brannstrom did. D+1 year at home playing against men, and D+2 in the AHL, and evalute from there. I'd be pretty shocked if he was on the sens next year. JBD will get a shot before him, and we'll still have Jaros and Zaitsev on the right side as well, to go along with the logjam on the left. I guess we'll see how he does in the Liiga this year though!Lassi Thomson projected NHL arrival next year??? Seems optimistic

And I guess that guy by the name of Daniel P. Alfredsson. I think he posts here, big Larry David fan. And happens to be the franchise leader in many statistical categories. Think he also sold Pizza or something.
He might have sold pizza but I've heard he ate nothing but nachos.

Need to fill that elite tier this year or at the draft. Brannstrom, Batherson or Brown could all do it with a monster year. I expect Batherson to be in Ottawa so one of the other guys will have to do it. Or we draft top 3 in 2020.
Yeah, that's just insane and hard to take seriously.You won't see us fill that elite tier other than by drafting Lafrenierre or Byfield. Anybody who has the kind of year that would bump them up would get called up and lose eligibility.
That said, 9 guys in tier 2 is insane. Idk if I'd have half that many in our tier two. Hope they are right and I'm wrong, The video he linked said tier two is the Marner/Nylander tier, most teams would have 1 or maybe two guys there... but we have 9? Sweet.
