holt_bruce81 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Tkachuk to St. Louis has been a rumor for like 3 years now, just trying to not get my hopes up. Plus not sure how Armstrong would even make the money work unless Tarasenko agreed to be part of the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money is probably the biggest impediment because I don't know why Tank waives to go to Calgary and I don't know why Calgary would want one year of Tank. Any move with St Louis almost certainly needs to include a third team that is willing to give a real value to Tank. Because of that, I don't think that St Louis can have Kyrou on the table either. Their package would almost 100% have to be futures based. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to me, at this point that the individual being sued is simply throwing names out trying to deflect. Its not a good look. There were other rumblings a few years back but nothing came of it.

My gut says the NY area, Anaheim or Ottawa and a chance to play with his brother. Im curious to see what the flames get in return for him. Also I wonder if Treliving will attach a bad contract. It would be sweet if he ended up on the Coyotes with Kassian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of these guys probably want an opportunity to get back on the market in their prime. It's a solid deal for Columbus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, if we trade for him, I'd be good with giving Tkachuk a 4 or 5 year deal rather than the 7-8 variety. Let's him get to UFA in his 20s and we get out before his decline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laine's contract doesn't really help us a ton with regards to Bratt. If we were going to give Bratt 5 years, that would have be buying out 3 ufa years just like Columbus did. We may be entering territory where we are locking bratt in based on arbitration or looking at 8 or more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bratt has one season of first line production. If he wants over $7m, he'd have to take a 7-8 year deal IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
