Player Discussion Matthew Tkachuk - "That Face You Just Want to Punch"

[CamPopplestone]

Secretly hoping we don't re-sign him until after NHL 20 comes out, so I have a roster with him unsigned to deal with in franchise mode

I imagine this is likely Brad Treliving's thought process as well.

Could you imagine finding out your GM actually plays franchise mode?

"listen Matt, i was playing NHL 20, and in that, you signed for 7x7, so come on, work with me here

'Listen I know what Marner is gonna get, but you're only an 85 Overall! My hands are tied.'

"...but listen, by next contract, if we see big improvements in your poise and endurance numbers... you could be in for a real payday"

Sean Monahan on Tkachuk contract talks “yeah I think he’ll probably sign or maybe he won’t but he probably will. He is a hockey player so to play he needs to, you know, sign one and play and stuff”

Thanks Sean

I’m annoyed that I can’t tell if this is a real Sean Monahan quote or not.

As cap circumvention, maybe Johnny can share some of his candy with Tkachuk.

Now that’s what I call a collective bargaining agreement.

You mean skittles, of course.

Johnny will let Chucky have any of his candies.. except skittles.

Skittles are off limits.

Is it hockey season time yet? Damn am I excited for the season to start.

I really hope that Chucky signs before training camp starts and that he signs a team friendly contract that works well within the team's cap. So many people don't. I hope they're wrong.
On the other hand I hope players like Marner, Point, Laine, and all the other RFA's screw their teams over for every $$$ they can possibly get.
Its become convincingly obvious to myself that I'm a bad selfish person. f*** 'em all. Go Flames and onward to the Stanley Cup.

Absolutely 0 shame in that. As much as I want to feel sorry for Ottawa, I also hope Brady demands a trade to Calgary for scraps.

I hope all is okay with you.

Just getting tired of waiting for the Tkachuk contract to be resolved but other than that every thing's hunky dory. Thanks for asking.

If Keller got over 7M, Tkachuk would want at least 8 if not 9M....if we want to lock him up longer term

Who do we need to get rid for nothing?

He's not signing for 7-8 years...

Already said this, but 7.75x5 seems like a fair compromise given the circumstances at this point.

Thought that lob pass to Gaudreau vs NYR was gonna be #1 by a mile but I forgot just how good Tkachuk looked last year. That between the legs goal was filthy.
