Player Discussion Brady Tkachuk (LW) - Part VII

[Liver King]

I'd give him 8 billion if it's not my money

Hell I'd even make it space bucks

 

[ISensFanI]

Formenton > tkachuk

 

[Johnny Hanson]

Formenton > tkachuk

Stepping up the hot takery I see

 

[robsenz]

I personally wouldn’t feel comfortable signing Brady for that type of money.

I’m obviously in the minority.

They're shooting themselves in the foot with that, any player that out produces him asks for more...its too simple and dumb and they can't pay them, or fit under the cap if they ever become a good team.

 

[Shanny]

I love Brady, but if we can't actually get him to commit to long term, you have to look at cutting your losses and moving him for somewhat max value...while you still can unfortunately.

yeah. I don’t care how much money Brady stuffs into his pockets. I just don’t want this rebuild to be handcuffed by overcompensating a player for his character.

 

[inthewings]

This team operates not just in a cap system, but under a more restrictive self-imposed budget than most (all?) other teams. They absolutely can't afford to pay Brady Tkachuk 8.4M+ per year. I know it's easy to talk ourselves into the idea that the hits, ass-slaps, and intangibles make him invaluable, but they don't. If his salary demands aren't in line with his tangible production, he should be moved.

 

[GCK]

Vancouver can go 3 years with Pettersson because it's a prime UFA destination and it's likely he'll re-sign there when his bridge is up.

We do the same with Brady and it's the Stone situation all over again. Wilson better be wrong about the team actually putting a 3 year term in front of him or we're in trouble.

Vancouver is not a prime UFA destination. It’s not the worst but it’s generally B.C. guys going home. Pettersson says he wants to win so the pressure is now on Shoepolish

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

North of 8.4 ... Sit out Brady.. Sit out.

 

[Shanny]

North of 8.4 ... Sit out Brady.. Sit out.

If it's only bridge we're looking at right now for Brady, you don't think we couldn't get a a good return from the Blues based around Tarasenko+++?

For? .. I am not going anywhere near Tarasenko

 

[Shanny]

Tarasenko makes it work cap wise for the Blues, that's why I suggested him. I'm not familiar with the Blues prospect system but it would be quite the haul in terms of picks and prospects you would hope.

 

[RealSpartan]

North of 8.4? lol

Shopping time.

 

[BankStreetParade]

Lebrun saying Newport Sports asking “north of 8.4” Sens south of that.

Hahahahahahahahaha, time to sign this guy to a bridge and start shopping him around, let someone else massively overpay him because this is out of control.

If they shop him there will be a boatload of interest... maybe score another Brannstrom.

 

[Six Assets]

where's the 8.4 number coming from?

 

[Senscore]

North of 8.4? lol

Shopping time.

Kucherov signed for a max term at 9.5 per after a 100 point season in 2018.

If Brady thinks he's in spitting distance of that he can f*** off.

 

[Rodzilla]

Brady’s my favorite Senator but north of 8,4? Lets keep a cool head here BUT if true? Shop him man. He doesnt have 9M+ skill set man its insane.

 

[Flamingo]

where's the 8.4 number coming from?

I think LeBrun said it during the 1st intermission, but I might be getting my sources scrambled.

 

[Sens]

Early morning, but my thoughts on this at the moment are.... I would kill (not literally) to make 64 million over the next 8 years, and then still sign another large contract by the time I am only 30 for another 3-4 years and be set financially before the age of 40.

Most of us will probably not even make 1 million dollars total over the next 8 years, let alone 64 million.

trust fund kid with hundreds of millions in the family… this is a game to them

 

[Yak]

I never seen Lebrun say that but I was not paying attention too much.

I don't think anyone has any solid concrete info on these negotiations.

One thing I can tell you is Dorion should have started working on this deal a long time ago rather then letting it fester this long and as season starts.

 

[dumbdick]

That's actually a really good point. Most guys are under the gun to lock up the first million. Brady's already got that coming his way when his dad croaks.

It was always going to be a holdout.

Pierre could have started negations when he drafted Brady, still would have been a holdout.

 

[dumbdick]

I've got to believe that Brady had no intention of ever signing a deal early. This was always going to go this long.

 

[dumbdick]

The team should impose an internal signing deadline about a month in advance of the trade deadline. After that date is passed, players hit the market. Agents don't like it? f*** them.
