Gotta improve on goalies - having a tough time but maybe Mike Smith? kochetkov on CAR might fit the bill too based on his very short stint in America so far haha

Lol, I genuinely forgot about Mike Smith although he’d be perfect. Figured I’d go with a guy nicknamed “the Flower”, for effect. 😂

Hell no this is brutal for a rebuilding Detroit team, Tom Wilson wont waive for Detroit and anyways he's out until March so basically the whole season.

Lucas Raymond will probably be better than Brady Tkachuk, No interest here.

A healthy Jakub Vrana is every bit as good as Matthew Tkachuk. Detroit passes on all trades.

bullies? and you signed flower? that man is a saint

I disagree with everything you said, sir. Including Tom Wilson being injured.

I just imagined an opposing player getting with 3 feet of the crease and then 5 Detroit players converge to beat on him while The Flower skates gracefully around the net, and I caved.

You can disagree with me all you want, Facts remain this is brutal for Detroit. And yeah Tom Wilson is out for most of the season. So blah, blah, blah.

Dude read the description.

Also regardless of the actual point of this post - Vrana is nowhere near the impact player Tkachuk is. And I’m a big fan of Vrana but come on.

Dang, man. You’re right; he is injured. Well, that just ruins everything now.

Tkachuck>Vrana

I generally think you jave decent takes but even healthy Vrana is only 1/3rd of Tkachuk. That offer is laughable for Calgary

I guess a 1st round pick could be thrown in.

That’s a top 6 winger, top 9 winger, #1 prospect & a 1st rounder.

#8? I guess if Calgary has trouble signing Tkachuk long term. It's extremely unlikely that any of those players will ever be remotely as good as Tkachuk though

Yeah, I’m not the one who said that. Lol.

Not saying you are just saying the POV. Flames have a guy who is likely named captain this summer and is a young star. Moving him only ever happens if he wont sign long term

Oh yeah, of course. This whole post was just for s&g.

Tom is out til Novemeber, but he's almost as untouchable as Ovechkin at this point so Caps say no anyways

Eh, I wouldn’t say that. With the injury to Backstrom and the overall age of this team and Ovechkin, I could absolutely see a trade involving Wilson that makes the team better/healthier immediately. I think finding that specific type of trade would prove to be difficult and unlikely but I def think calling him untouchable is a stretch.

...and with that comment you just lost every bit of credibility you had.

Vrana's best year points wise is exactly half of Tkachuk's best year points wise.

Absolute troll job this comment.
