Pure speculation to generate views / hears / clicks / ...

Of course, I understand that this is *rumours and speculation* thread.

I thought of a Tkachuk extension of 5x8mil

[dudacek]

I believe I posted something similar before, but if the Sabres are trading Jack Eichel in part because of me-first, Masshole tendencies, they should not be pursuing Tkachuk in return.

And I say this as someone who really likes Tkachuk’s skill set.

8 mil for Tkachuk, 9 mil for Skinner, and 6 mil for Okposo(two more years)...

and who will the 1C and 2C be?

[LGR4GM]

The GM who signed Tkachuk to a contract where his next qualifying offer would be that high was an idiot.

I don't want any of Calgary's trash

Or a genius. It was a deliberately poisoned chalice offer sheet

Some league-wide speculation here (ignore the Eichel stuff, that's in its own thread because we're organized adults here).

Fun guesses on blockbuster trades by insidererererrrssss.

Tarasenko has asked for a trade per Jeremy Rutherford of the Athletic 

[LGR4GM]

St Louis took 3 surgeries to fix his shoulder and he's not happy. Also unhappy ROR got captain over him.

Ironic, ROR left Colorado and may have left Buffalo due to him not getting the Captaincy. 

Now ROR getting the C is causing a guy to leave.

ROR’s leaving Buffalo had nothing to do with captaincy.

Yes it was. He was overpaid to be a leader and he crashed into Tim Hortons before ever starting and set all the wrong examples

tom webster has insiders and knows exactly why ROR was traded, and it wasn't because ROR traded himself after he didn't get the C, no matter what pure speculation you fling at the wall

I don't think it was a direct A to B cause to effect but I do certainly think it had to do with ROR's end of season fiasco.

If I am trading both Reinhart and Risto to LA, I am not including anything else if all I get back is 8oa, Turcotte, and a cap dump in Quick.

Not that I disagree with you but Quick only has 2 years left on his contract and only 5.5M total left on his deal, so although his cap hit is 5.8M that has to be appealing to TP's bottom line.
