In that case, I got a 12-for-1 Stützle trade coming….

brady wont get traded.

But your logic is flawed. why would a worse player get as much as a better one.

doesnt mean brady is bad, matthew is just a tier above him.

I agree that Brady won't get traded.

But folks in AGM seem to think otherwise.

And I can't think of any better comparable for Brady than his brother Matthew.

Meier.

Much more comparable players.

Meier 8.8x4+3 mill= 38 mill
Brady 8.2x5=41 mill

Sharks got:
3 mill cap dump cancels with Zetterlund and Okhotiuk.

top 75 prospect, 1st, conditional 1st/2nd. There's your Tkachuk price.

I would trade Kyrou for Tkachuk. But not add anything on top.

Matthew on the other hand would add quite a bit more.

Kyrou for Brady still adds quite a bit of risk to each team. Kyrou is elite at creating rush chances, good chance this season is the outlier and not his past two.

Brady adds a different element. But he isn’t the complete player Matthew was at the time of the trade.

Ottawa shouldn’t trade him, nor should the Blues trade Kyrou

Brady will get more than what CGY got , more than what BUf got in the eichel deal, 4 more years at 8.2M and he has no say on were he goes as he does not have a NTC/NMC for another 1.5 years, there would be a massive bidding war for him as he is the type of player that every team wants in their top 6, some have one those that don't want one

Contract situations make it much tougher to compare Meier and B Tkachuk.

Can’t overlook the remaining term vs Meier being an expiring RFA with a gigantic QO

Declined.

That's why I included the contract meier got.

In order to be comparable over 5 years to Brady:

Brady will make 41 mill.
Meier had 1 year at 3 mill with retention.

So 4 years, 38 mill total. That would be a 9.5x4 extension. Meier would have 100% signed that.

Ottawa shouldn't trade him.

You're right.

But some AGMs recently have thought otherwise.

The extension was not pre discussed or extended prior to the trade. You can’t just back date stuff into reasoning which happened after the fact.

Does it matter if they do? There have been 4 billion Parayko and Buchnevich trade AGMs as of late. Only thing you can do is try and have an open discussion, or explain why certain trades wouldn’t work. It’s not like it has a bearing on anything regardless. Won’t change front offices decisions

Seeing as you're posting this, I do believe you care a little.

You can use common sense and realize that there was never a scenario where Meier's extension was going to be like 10+ million. Which is what it would have to be to be meaningfully more than Tkachuk's over 5 years.

The range on a meier deal was always 8.5-9.5 mill AAV. Making it comparable.

Ok. CGY Offers Huberdeau, Weegar and a 1st for Tkatchuk.

This is an outrage

Ottawa doesn't have the cap space currently.

And both Huberdeau and Weegar would need to waive for Ottawa.

For that package I’d want McJesus. Brady is not McJesus.

Pasta > Brady

FFS

🙄

It was a joke. Calgary won't be able to move Huby until he gets some complimentary forwards to play with and ups his value relative to his cap hit.

Weegar is playing well, so that's a positive

I couldn't think of a better comparable on the Bruins for Huberdeau.

Sorry.

Brady’s hard to find a comparable because there really isn’t any currently that play like him, Matthew is the closest I guess because of his name and their tendency to get under the opponents skin. Don’t think they get the same package Calgary did, think it be closer to the Eichel trade: Replacement top 6 F, a good prospect, 1st, 2nd and maybe another piece. But again, doubt they even look to move him anytime soon

Omg I’d pay money to see that lol

Blues respond with Krug, Saad, and a first for Brady

If they don’t give that up for Matty they certainly wouldn’t consider it for Brady

Krug and Saad both decline.

Sadly… yea obviously I’m exaggerating but I wouldn’t do this trade for Brady, hell I wouldn’t do it for Matty
