Proposal: Brady Tkachuk to Canucks for Lekkerimaki, Boeser, 1st 2025, 2nd 2026,

[UrbanImpact]

Tkachuk has 4 years left until Free Agency and it looks like the Sens are nowhere near ready to be competitive. Those 4 years are likely going to be rebuild years. The premise of the proposal is if the Sens decide that they need to tear it down to the foundation.

The Offer:

Lekkerimaki , easily the Canucks' top prospect and one of the best prospects not in the NHL. He is coming off a season where he was the World Jrs MVP, Team MVP for his Orebro club in the SHL, Led all U-24 skaters in Goals in SHL. He is a couple of years away, stylistically his game compares to Pastrnak imo. He just carried a very bad Orebro team into the SHL playoffs. He led the team in scoring despite playing 6+ less games than most of the roster as he left for World Juniors in December.

Boeser- 27 yrs old. on pace for 40+ goals this season. Signed for 2 more years. Sens can easily flip him for a 1st round pick at the deadline either next season or the season after.

1st round pick , 2nd round pick

Essentially its a 3x 1st round pick value (Lekky, Boeser, 1st) + 2nd


Canucks go after Tkachuk who not only happens to be Quinn Hughes' best friend but also a player that plays a rugged and around the crease game that i think would compliment the Canuck superstars well.

No.

 

[MunKay]

No chance.

Yeah I think if Tkachuk is traded it'll be for a big piece rather than quantity. Lekk is a good prospect but don't think it puts the Sens in a better position really.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Senators aren’t tearing it down to the foundations.
I’d prefer Wallinder vs Lekky.
Sens pass on trading Brady.

When you say a "big piece" what exactly do you mean?

I dont think the Sens would trade Tkachuk for a similar aged top player, because they would just be in a similar place where they have a star wasting in its prime years only to be a UFA when they theoretically should be ready to compete (3+ years)

Lekky is only 19 so i guess maybe you mean a current big piece star thats like 22 yrs old right now?

Boeser is under contract for 1 more season, not 2. Ottawa would have to make the decision to commit to him or trade him within 8 months or so.

His deadline trade value is not certain. He's not a center or defenseman or power winger. Slippage in his production with new teammates and coaches would probably put him at Toffoli level.

Sorry you are right. 1 more season. So definitely next trade deadline he would be a big asset that Sens can flip. Even if its Tofolli level, which i think it will be more since Boeser is only 28 next year, a 2nd and 3rd is still good for a flip package.

Lekky, 1st 2025, 2x2nd, 3rd ( if Boeser is only a Tofolli return)

f*** that shit.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Lmao that's not even close

Someone more proven, someone who is more of a sure bet young talent. Lekk is a good prospect but NHL upside is pretty unclear. I think it would be poor asset management from the Sens to make a deal like this as it would set the club back another 3-5 years (at least).

If they do choose to re-rebuild you have to nail the Tkachuk trade.

Nailed it!

 

[General Fanager]

hmm both sides seem to hate it......we know what that usually means

 

[82Ninety42011]

Sens if traded Brady would want a young centre prospect included plus probably 2 1sts. Boeser does nothing for them. It's a good package but not one that would entice Sens.

 

[Three On Zero]

A trade proposal that’s terrible for both sides?

Canucks have no interest in Tkachuk or letting go of that package for Tkachuk, likewise Ottawa won’t let go of Tkachuk for a package of stuff they don’t need currently

 

[SEALBound]

If the Sens were thin throughout the lineup, I'd say yes but...they aren't which is what makes them being crappy more odd.

 

[NyQuil]

I like how Ottawa won’t be in a position to compete in four years while Vancouver was not competing a year ago.

 

[BCNate]

No thanks from this Canucks fan.

Sabres could top this by a country mile. I would swap Oslund in, keep the picks and throw Quinn on top of the pile. The idea of Canucks fans saying no is laughable

 

[ManofSteel55]

This likely isn't close at all. The Sens would need more than Boeser and futures/question marks for this type of deal. I'm sure other teams would have better prospects and higher picks to add on to their NHL caliber assets in such a trade.

 

[Mr Kot]

With Morris being out long term, it may be better to trade for more established C to replace in case he has career ending injury or surgery. Lekkeramki is good, but not established.

 

[Rowlet]

I like how Ottawa won’t be in a position to compete in four years while Vancouver was not competing a year ago.

The difference between the two teams is:

A GM in the running for GMOTY
A coach in the running for the Jack Adams
A second 100pt centre
A top 2 D in the league
A top 5 G in the league

The Sens have some good parts, but they're not exactly 1:1 comparable
