Value of: Matthew Tkachuk

[MarkusNaslund19]

Well its the closest offer in this thread, I'd take Brady for Sam and a 1st, I've never seen the posters name before soim guessing hes either a Sens fan or a new trolling Edm fan

That person was obviously joking about the fact that "Bennett and a first" is the new "Ryder, Halak, and a 2nd". The joke being that Calgary would be trading with itself.

You can't seriously think Ottawa would even pick up the phone on Brady for Bennett and a 1st, can you?

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

I'd trade Tkachuk before I'd trade Gaudreau, but how about trading neither?

wait really? You would trade Chucky first?

 

[Tobias Kahun]

So the only remotely close deal I've seen is the Sens fan that offer mini Tkachuk for Bennett and a 1st, honestly I think if we had both Tkachuk's on the team, they'd drive each other to play top notch PWF's

You think you're getting Brady for Bennett and a First?

Good luck with that.

Eh i wasn't the one who posted that don't ask me about it,i just said I'd take it.7

Maybe if they think Giordano is about to fall off a cliff they could trade him for a young top pairing defenseman or if a team is willing to give an elite centre for him, but otherwise he wouldn't be moved.

Giordano has fallen off that cliff.

Giordano is already well off that cliff, but I feel like something like this would makes sense.

Unless we’re getting a bonafide elite 1C, why bother?

Well, if you’re like a bunch of people who believe this very well could be Gaudreau’s and Monahan’s last chance here, then you have to at least entertain the possibility. Unless of course you could return some cornerstones for 13/23, then you’re building around Lindholm, Tkachuk, Mangiapane, Dube and that IMO is just another recipe for mediocrity. No one in their right minds would build around Tkachuk as their premier offensive player.

 

[User1996]

This is ridiculous. A player has a slump and some people think they are no good anymore. He still has 10 points in 14 games. That’s pretty decent. Some players have off years. That doesn’t mean we run them out of town. He’s worth a lot to Calgary and he should be here for a long time. Why the hell do people think Flames fans don’t know what we have in Tkachuk.

Run him out of town = seeing what his value would be on a message board. Gotcha

Lol?

Again, this whole premise is based upon this year continuing to go sideways. I feel like there is a very low chance there aren’t major changes to a core that has continually shown they can’t get it done if they don’t turn it around.

 

[User1996]

Lol?

Are you going to contribute anything? I laugh at everyone of your posts when I unfortunately stumble across them, should I start replying “LOL” to all of them?

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

I'd kill to have him on the Rangers.

Kreider + 1 st + 1-2 B level prospects as starter? Probably not enough.

Although our first would be a real good pick.

A man can dream...

Go ahead, I'm not the one trying to justify an obvious troll post. If I'm trading Tkachuk I'm asking for Eichel minimum. Obviously that would never happen and there lies the issue.

we’d be asking for Zibanejad.

 

[TMLeafs18]

if they are worried about gio falling off I would do Nylander + Rielly for Tkachuk + Hanifin

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Avery 2.0 belongs in CGY

Tkachuk is a lot better than Avery, but Avery had underrated skill and was underutilized in NY.

Nobody is moving anything of value for Gio

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Nylander for Tkachuk

Or

Rielly & Nylander
For
Tkachuk, Hanifin & Bennett

Can we trade you Backlund + 1st + 1-2 B level prospects for Laf?

 

[FameFlame069]

Nylander for Tkachuk

Or

Rielly & Nylander
For
Tkachuk, Hanifin & Bennett

I wouldn't trade Chucky alone for them...

 

[McJedi]

Not off to a very good start at all and has generally been very ineffective, but he should still be fairly heralded antics and all.

What could the Flames get if this season continues to be a disappointment?

Edit: Since it must be said, this isn’t saying he will get traded, but curious what his value would be

As an Avs fan, I find the idea Calgary would even entertain trading Tkachuk completely preposterous and short sighted. I’d make an offer because I’d love to steal him but the idea of it from Calgary’s POV is asinine. He’s a great home grown player to be in your core for the next decade.

Enjoy it vs ruin it is my advise. Trading a guy like that away tells me (and the organization) the team has no foundation or direction. Just knee jerk stupidity and impatience.

 

[Unbiased Fan]

If he were actually available I’d write nylander on a piece of paper and I’d tell them to write down what I’d need to add

Yeah, I’m a Flames fan trolling Flames fans? If that makes sense in your mind because you’ve put Chuckey on a pedestal the last few years like most other fans, go ahead and believe it. Lol

 

[Fjordy]

Jack Eichel?

I don’t understand how this would be knee-jerk? Tkachuk’s offensive game consists of:
- Reverse hits to get separation
- Between the legs attempts from the post
- Usual domination behind the other teams net
- Good hand eye for deflecting pucks
- Generally poor play on the DZ half wall
- A long, sweeping wrist shot that takes so long to get off its easily deflected out of play and not a threat
- Not enough speed to be effective in transition

Tkachuk is a fantastic complimentary player, but, under the premise that Gaudreau is moved if the Flames miss the playoffs this year, that means you expect Tkachuk to likely be the driver of your offence, which is foolish. Why not see what you can get for him?

Unless you have a late 1st that turns into a play driving offensive piece, building around Tkachuk, Lindholm, Dube, etc., is just begging to be mediocre for 10 more years
