From the Senators GM Steve Staios to Pierre LeBrun
Like, we’re building the team around Brady Tkachuk and the type of person, the type of player and the type of leader that he is. He means everything to the organization. And he brings it every night along with our core group of players. It’s a matter of time and a matter of nurturing this group.
When I talk about bringing in veteran players, it’s really to support this young group and to support Brady and Tim (Stützle) and the rest of the group. Claude Giroux has done a phenomenal job of that. But you can always use those guys
TNT, Kulich, Rosen, Samuelsson, and 2024 1st.
It would be expensive and since he can sign an extension July 1st, a new contract would have to come with it
There is enough smoke around the fact that The Canucks have made an offer to Pettersson but they are not convinced they will be able to sign him as He may want out. Rumors that he did not like the way the owner treated Bruce Bourdeau to the fact He doesn’t like playing in a Canadian Media Market might be part of the reason why.
Perhaps @dudacek can provide so more insight.
He has two years of RFA left after this season, and would probably require a huge extension starting at 12 million AAV.
That being said, if you want a franchise changing trade, this would be it
It’s an overpay for sure, I did Cozens Combine Physical he is a great kid.
That all being said,
Tkatchuk is an elite play driving forward who plays with an edge.
He is build for the playoffs
And he would get Skinner off the top line!
