Not that I don't believe you, (and I certainly hope they trade Tkatchuk), but can you show me where he said that?

I think the implication is the other way around, they need to toss out some high skill guys to get another Tkachuk type guy.

Where do u see Tkachuk?

I said the same type of trade as Matt Tkachuk .

A 3 for 1 special with Chabot/Chychrun + Norris/Batherson + picks

Who is the RFA that isn’t signing with current team?

Lundell+ or Swayman?

Maybe a multi year rental?

Kyle Connor?

They were interested in Tom Wilson this past summer

Would need a 2 way beast who’s tough to play against

I figured that part…just hard to think of who that guy would be. Aren’t any obvious examples.

Bath + Chych + Whatever for Marner? Brady - Timmy - Marner would be sick and he's a good 200 foot player.

That's not exactly what he said though. He was pointing to Florida as an example. They were a talented team that couldn't take care of business away from the puck, and he highlighted the shift in mentality that came with that trade.

That said, I'm all for a flashy trade if it makes them better. Been clear for a while that this group isn't gonna figure it out internally

Konecny would be probably the guy that would land a similar deal. Problem is he’s a pending UFA and Philly won’t want the skilled guys in their prime but more high end prospects

I quite like this idea.

Who are your targets?

I'll preface this by saying that I think any team they pays him out this summer will MASSIVELY regret it, but that guy is Sam Reinhart. I don't know how you justify paying him like a 50 goal scorer when he's scoring on 1 in 4 shots this season, but that's the two way beast being talked about. And he's coming straight from the team Ottawa wants to build themselves like.

Can we interest you in a slighty used Pageau? On a serious note if a Tkachuk type deal happens I bet the 2 players would be

Chychrun
Batherson (should be Norris but he has to many injuries)
1st

batherson + Bos 1st for keller or verhaege

Batherson has as much chance of moving as you moving the Sun with your hands.

moving Batherson for Keller is at best a lateral move and Keller costs more in cap easy no for OTT and FLA will never trade verhaege to OTT

would not trade Bath for marner 1 for 1, no thanks on 12-13M winger that will destroy OTTs cap structure
