Quoting: LeonTheRealDeal
Tkachuk isn't looking for more money, he's looking for less term.
He's looking for an NTC or NMC, modified or otherwise, and Signing Bonuses. Old uncle Euge doesn't like July 1st signing bonuses nor does he like NTC's due to Dany Heatley getting his and then asking for a trade and the vetoing a trade because of his NTC. Fool me once...
Quoting: palhal
It is so foolish to overpay a player so much, a thought Leaf fan would know. Fact it (as I see it), Brady does not want to be a Senator for eight more years, If Brady is to play as a Sen he is either going to sign a bridge or five year deal. Sens aren't making the playoffs this year regardless. If Brady wants to sit out the NHL season, so be it. Remember, Brady can sign with any team, any league he wants to, the Sens aren't holding him back.
While I think this contract is insane, the guy loves it here and will eventually sign here. We just don't know for how long or for how much...
Problem is, he doesn't want to stay without commitment from the organization that they will be competitive while he's here (I.E. Stone, Karlsson, Alfredsson). Ottawa has control of his rights regardless. Sure he can go to Europe and play. But, he's not going anywhere (in the NHL) unless a team offer-sheets him way above asking price. Which team has both cap and picks to offer-sheet him?
I'm saying a 7-8 year deal with Bonuses and NMC/NTC or a 3 year bridge with static pay. By the time his contract is up, Zaitsev and Murray will be gone and he can make bank then.
