M Tkachuk to CAR Scenario

2 prospects and 2 mid to late 1sts? No thanks

There is no way you get that kind of return for Hamilton.

Not enough. Prob has to be something like turbo Suzuki and a first. Maybe more.

this is a norris type dman we are talking about. Patrick’s time is no doubt done in PHI. he’s even expressed he wants out. you’re only giving up one first for a player who if he weren’t a UFA, could easily attract 2 firsts. but that’s why it’s a 3rd instead because it’s not guaranteed he signs. PHI who are desperate for dman should be all over this. it’s a much better option than overpaying off Jones.

Except that the Flyers could say "we will pay you $9 mil per year for 7 years if you wait" and then don't have to give up anything. He makes $1 mil less over the term but can get more than that in his 8th year as a UFA. You might get a pick or 2 but it will not be a 1st!
