Artemi Panarin hit UFA as a much better player than Tkachuk and got 11.6. John Tavares hit UFA as a much better player than Tkachuk and got 11. Sam Reinhart who I'd take over Tkachuk will be available this summer potentially for I imagine around 11.

The odds of an Artemi Panarin level player hitting free agency and choosing your team out of the 32 is extremely rare lmao. NJ missed out on Gaudreau for free and had to pay assets for Meier

None of those offers will be what you think.

Just because teams CAN bid does not mean they will, or that they will offer vast packages.

A 4 way bidding war for Matthew Tkachuk at 9.5x8 goes a lot higher than a 32 way bidding war for Brady Tkachuk.

Yeah and Calgary got a 115pt player , a 2 way top pair RD and a 1st. Who knows how much they would’ve got if they were rebuilding. NJ offered 2nd overall +++ .

I can’t anymore with him lol. No one is getting thru to him.

We also hit on the top available UFA in dougie hamilton. Regardless that's just an example. You can also replace production in the aggregate with multiple smaller pieces, and the team needs cap space for other assets.

For example Mercer on a 4x4, and then a mid 1st+5.2 mill to play with goes further than Tkachuk+Scrub

Yes because Tkachuk was a legitimate 100+ point RFA superstar. BRADY IS NOT THAT GOOD.

8 years of Matthew Tkachuk at 9.5 mill is worth immensely more than 5 years of Brady Tkachuk at 8.2 mill.

Valuations:

Matthew: 14.5 million
Brady: 11 million

Surplus value

Matthew: 40 million (5x8)
Brady: 14 million (2.8x5)

You go propose Schneider+Laffy+3 1sts for Brady Tkachuk then from NYR (Because the gap between Nemec and Schneider is MULTIPLE 1sts)

Mmm…I’m not high on Laf, but he’s only 22 and showing improvement this season. Still not what you’re expecting as the #1 pick in the draft. Maybe add another pick or prospect. Laf would probably be a 100 point player once traded…just typical lol

Have a good night sweet cheeks 😘

Weirdo

To St Louis

We don't have the assets but

Nelson at 50% retained + 3rd for a team to retain (1.5 mil)
