@jackrichrdson @SensCentral At the same time, 18/19 + a true finisher could be one of the NHL’s best offensive lines, IMO. Drake probably gets $9M+ on the open market next summer. If you let him walk, the top six suddenly looks *very* thin unless you move him now and already have the replacement lined up

@SensCentral Get him closer to 7.2% then IMO. They can’t afford to just dish out $9M to a guy who is likely a 2nd line winger on a cup winning team

I think Batherson’s comparable has to be Pinto, not Stützle or Tkachuk. Is Batherson more valuable to the Sens than Pinto? Feel like somewhere around $7.5M - $8M is the sweet spot on a long term deal.

That ideal, proven, affordable top-six forward you’re thinking about just isn’t coming to Ottawa. Staios is operating in a market of high-upside players that come with considerable risk. And that’s what makes Elias Pettersson at least enter the conversation.

@politicstcan He’s got appreciable trade value too. I still think he was kept out of the lineup on the deadline eve for trade related reasons. Also, why is Michkov on this list?

My former colleague @simmonssteve has the balls to ask pertinent questions. Reporters aren’t cheerleaders. They’re not guidance councillors. When he says he talked to 20 or so prominent NHL people, he talked to them. Takes heat for doing his job correctly #LeafsForever

@MortgageZarko @Beezersun @simmonssteve My point isn’t that Chayka is beyond criticism. It’s that you can always find people willing to amplify negativity about someone with a questionable track record. Repeating that invective serves no real purpose. There were far more constructive ways to frame that question.

@yyzsportsmedia Brought what? Unprofessionalism? Insults hurled at a father in front of his wife and 3 young kids. Kudos. Steve is a joke of a reporter. Hard hitting questions are warranted. That was just his way of hurling insults at a guy.

@politicstcan He’s certainly overrated and overpaid. This is going to become a real narrative, and you were ahead of it

@ShutdownLine Well, that never happened against the Sens, a far more potent offense. You were lucky to sweep R1 (xG was 17-15 in CAR’s favour), but you’ll likely sweep R2 too. And frankly, if that happens, I don’t see how you don’t win the conference with that much rest. I’m rooting for you!

The only thing I know is there will be at least one game where Carolina is outshooting Philly 22-4 in the second period and down 2-1.

Matthew Tkachuk forced a DeBrincat-esque trade out of Calgary after making the second round of the playoffs. Brady Tkachuk committed long-term to Ottawa in spite of the team being mostly awful in 2021, with Eugene Melnyk being in charge at the time.

@alexadamsBTP_ Present-tense commitment. Pretty solid answer…it’s about as good as you’re going to get in that spot. Realistically, he probably doesn’t know what his long-term decision is yet, so he has to hedge.

Brady Tkachuk on all the noise about his future. "I have been fully committed to this team, to the city."

@jackrichrdson Just my two cents but this feels like coordinated, team-aligned messaging going into the avail. He’ll likely say the right things/strike the right tone, but I wouldn’t over-interpret it either way

Make no mistake: this is a monumental media availability for Brady Tkachuk and the Ottawa Senators. No pressure 7.
