If Drysdale is involved, 3rd OA most likely wouldn’t be. Then again I doubt Drysdale is moved anyways.

NICK MERKLEY?

SIGN ME UP RIGHT NOW

At least you didn't ask for Byfield.

I was going to put Holtz but didn't want to get yelled at by all fan bases. Maybe I should have

Levi? Really? Be my guest lol

imma just say that both merkleys, liljegren, levi, drury, jdlr, abb, and tfw are like tertiary pieces in a trade, and zucker isn’t that great (fwiw I don’t think pittsburgh has the pieces to acquire tkachuk at all lol)

But asked for Laf lmao

Some of these picks aren’t in the same ball park, NIck merkley went unclaimed on waivers this year

Same as Julius honka,

I fixed it tho

There's a couple of odd choices in here, but, uh... Honka???

For Carolina, start with Drury or Drury as an add-on?

I didn't want to skip any team so just randomly clicked

Doubt they'll trade Holtz+ for Tkachuk

Goal scoring is a bigger need for the Devils

honestly Willy and maybe Liligren for Tkachuck

now im against it for money reasons as Tkachucks gonna expensive to resign but could be something Dubas considers

Cause could you imagine

Gaudreau-Monahan-Nylander

or Mangiapane-Lindholm-Nylander

Im worried there will be an up swing of Tkachuk for Marner trades again

Honestly, most of these are weak returns for the Flames if you ask me

replace Reinhart with Eichel, I would be very disappointed if Reinhart is the core piece returning in a Tkachuk trade

Out of all our pending RFA’s Honka is the least likely to get signed. But if you really want him, I don’t mind at all.

I didn't really have anyone other than Heiskanen. And I think wr have our top 2 RD set for a few years

If you want Heiskanen you’ll have to add an uncomfortable amount, like a lot more than just Tkachuk. We value Heiskanen as our god, he’s basically as untouchable as it gets. Also he’s better on the left side than the right. Stars wouldn’t be in the running for Tkachuk simply because we don’t have what it takes.

TFW for Tkachuk? Well, it'll be difficult, but I think we can manage to get around to accepting that proposal.

S.Poulin, Pens prospect, should play a similar role to Tkuchuk. Of course he’s not Tkuchuk, but similar. 6’3, 215 pound power forward, goal scorer, good passer.

He can start off as a mid 6 in the NHL and move up too. He’s not one of those prospects like Nic Robertson who is a top 6 or bust. Who has to fit into a top 6 role. Too small, not physical enough, not good enough defensively, to play on a legit, NHL 3rd-4th line for a contending team.

Having patients with a prospect on the NHL
Level is fine on a rebuilding team. They are able to let a prospect get his feet wet in the NHL on a lower line and gradually increase his role.

Contending teams don’t have that luxury or time. Prospect development isn’t a main priority when competing for the play-offs or SC every year. Take it from a Pens fan. Points r just too hard to come by in the NHL.

But b/c of Poulin size and physicality, he can play on a contending teams 3rd-4th line to get his feet wet in the NHL 1st before getting an increased role as a top 6.

Better than Tkachuk for scraps

I'll do Drury for Tkachuk but we'll probably have to add.

What else does the Reinhart for Tkachuk trade include in your opinion?
