TF are these rumours coming from?

Met Keith Tkachuk and Elliott Friedman in a Brothel and that was the rumors going around..

OTT declines

There's less than zero chance that Tkachuk is moved, but if he WAS, I think the Pens can make a real offer that makes sense.

TO PIT: Brady Tkachuk
TO OTT: Guentzel (with extension), 1st, 2nd and Brayden Yager

If you're not familiar with Yager, kid is gonna be a stud. We don't have a lot of prospects, but he's a really good one.

You could get more for Brady. Probably a high end roster player and an elite prospect with a pick attached

Not horrible value but cant see the sens being interested in Guentzel from ages 30-37. We wont be competitive for another 2 years most likely

I think someone like Jake is exactly what you need. I know you have Girioux, but he's done after next season. You'll need a capable vet who knows how to win in the playoffs to usher in your new guys. Every cup team has them and with the cap going up, his hit won't be that significant. I'm not saying this is the best offer you'd get, but it's probably up there. It also helps you for the future with Yager.

id probably consider it if the pick is like 7-9 range

If he was moved, that would probably be unlikely. I know he doesn't have a trade clause, but I'd imagine they'd work with him to go a team that's playoff-bound, so you'd be looking at a late round pick.

Late 1sts are meaningless in a tkachuk trade, probably like the 4th best piece if its included

This is what happens when high profile players gets moved. The returns rarely satisfy. That's why there's value in already existed players and prospects. How many high profile players have you seen get moved to a team in positions like SJ or AZ?

Realistically, teams probably get better overall returns on guys like Toffoli than they do star players. It's not the 1980's where you can get all these wild trades that send half the team lol
