Is the expectation that he is going to sign a qualifying offer this summer or is there a possibility of a long term contract ?

Brady set the bar. Matt needs 45 pts to get 8.5M/yr
Woof, for someone that was playing "he doesn't trust the owners commitment to win" Brady sure handcuffed the Sens
if he does not produce at a high level his contract is a team killer
Get your money, owners like Dolan, Edwards and Melnyk have leverage on basically everyone, not everyone has to give into that. But Matt needs a big season to warrant franchise 10+ money
I mean it only handcuffs them if they are going to spend to the cap which let's be real they probably aren't going to do, overpaying isn't the end of the world. This is one of the big risks of scorched earth rebuilds the few guys that give the fans a reason to go to games have all the leverage in a contract negotiation.
Not with today’s prices. If he considers himself the best player on the team, which he no doubt does and could prove this year, he’ll command 9.5 minimum.Even if he has a big season, I'm not sure if he is worth 10+, anything over 8.5 is an overpay imo
Quietly he probably wants to join his bro in Ottawa and snake them into more than they gave Brady, just to outdo his bro' in the same setting. Secretly every quality NHL'er from the U.S. wants to play in Ottawa, right!Is the expectation that he is going to sign a qualifying offer this summer or is there a possibility of a long term contract ?

Right, St.Louis, I meant. I was actually surprised Brady signed more than 2 years with Ottawa??doubt he wants to go to ottawa but i do get the vibe he wants to go to st louis.
Shitty thing for him is he’s nowhere close to the best player on the team. Gaudreau, Lindholm, hell even Mangaipane at this pointNot with today’s prices. If he considers himself the best player on the team, which he no doubt does and could prove this year, he’ll command 9.5 minimum.
Matthew Tkachuk to Ottawa for Josh Norris and Drake Batherson and a 3rd round pick, or so.Tkachuks are the pro at contract negotiations. Treliving can bully the inexperienced but not them.
The Tkachuks are going to get paid and decide where they want to be.
I am still on the fence on Matthew but I would trade him if I can get something good for him. I would do Tkachuk for Marner or Eichel without thinking twice even with all the problems Marner and Eichel have,
A ploy to get big $$$ now and forge a likely trade to St. LOUIS, when their cap and handle his contract.Woof, for someone that was playing "he doesn't trust the owners commitment to win" Brady sure handcuffed the Sens

Work for meMatthew Tkachuk to Ottawa for Josh Norris and Drake Batherson and a 3rd round pick, or so.
Immediate team improvement possible? And future potential too.
Monahan-Lindholm-Pitlick ?Might be the right move to re-unite Tkachuk with Backlund perhaps.
Top 6 could be
Tkachuk-Backlund-Coleman
Gaudreau-Dube-Mangiapane
Actually forgot about Elias there. Would be nice if Sean had fuctional wrists and hips cause that could actually be a decent lineMonahan-Lindholm-Pitlick ?
