I wonder if Tkachuk goes the distance with the contract thing, or perhaps an opportunity spins up where Ottawa helps broker a Tarasenko three team trade

STL: Tkachuk, stuff
Ottawa: Kravstov, high picks, stuff
NYR: Tarasenko, stuff

 

[bustaheims]

If the centerpiece of a Tkachuk trade is Kravstov, I hope the sens go for it.

Well props to Ottawa for getting him to agree to 7 years, I thought for sure he'd be looking at a short-term one and then dipping. That AAV sure explains how they managed to get to 7 though.

Yeah waiting for this to come through

Lot of money for a player who has never cracked 50 points in a season. ;D

 

[herman]

I think he gets traded before his NMC kicks in, just like everyone else who signed long term in Ottawa

In his defence he would have probably gotten there in an 82-game season in this past one (barely).

Lot of money for a player who might have barely cracked 50 points if he played 82 games.

That's better.

Or perhaps just next year

Brady has zero puck over glass penalties in the postseason.  Marner is useless.  Fire Dumbas, hire Dorion (I mean honestly I would take Dorion in the organization).

GO LEAFS GO!

I think at this point there are two things about the Marner contract that are indisputably true.

1. It was probably a little too high for the value he brings.

2. The extent to which #1 is true has been overstated by a magnitude of several thousand, both by people who hate the Leafs, people who know criticizing the Leafs draws clicks and Leafs fans who feel a need to obsess over every bump in the road.

I wonder if that's the modus operandi...

Something similar works for the Rays in baseball.
