This post wouldn’t delete. Sorry folks.

I just meant that - some folks may say Brady is better because I used the contract signing as a way to illustrate the merits of the Nylander contract.

To be honest it depends what type of winger is needed for the team when comparing Matthew vs Nylander. If I lack skill/speed Nylander is far and away better. If I want some grit and a pest type player I’d go with Matthew Tkachuk.

I dont think Ive heard anyone say Brady is better than Wilster? Willie was overpaid by 500g's at the time, but in the past two years he has really improved imo and earns each dime now.
The Brady contract is an overpayment imo....specially right now. But that could change.

They are hosting a TV show and one guy throws his jacket and takes off his tie.

Hopefully he didnt start throwing his shoes after the 3rd goal.

I get that it was a goal that really hurt their chances of making the World Cup, but jeez-Louise, could they not at least acknowledge the goal was amazing?

Exactly.
Throw in a little professionalism with your outrage, disappointment and childish behaviour

Didn't even know there was a third goal.
Go Canada.

Confusion. Sorry man I’m not a good writer! What I meant;

- I saw how much Ottawa paid for Brady.
- I thought Yikes! That’s way too much.
- I then thought about how much people chirped the Nylander price tag.
- then I thought that with a number of signings last 2 seasons (over payments) the Nylander contract looks really good in terms of the cost and the output from Nylander.
- I then thought that some people may argue the Tkachuk contract is good and state that he is better than Nylander. May state. Not have said.

I take Nylander over Brady all day every day, now Mathew is a different story.

Ok gotcha, my bad man.

The sens could make him sit if he didn’t agree to the terms they wouldn’t budge on

I think you are forgetting this is a business.

Tkachuk is one of their few marketable players.

Ottawa has enough troubles getting their fans to go to games.

Agreed.
However, (and yes I know this is way too early in their careers) but I feel Wilsters game may allow him to play at a higher level for more seasons than MT.

Captaincy incoming. Hoping it's tonight so I can see it live.

kachuck for greedy female dog straight up, all day long👍🏿

but why would the flamers do that unless they could get another grown man cumming the other way?🤦‍♂️

i am back on the perimeter willi bandwagon based upon his performance in the playoffs and heretofore this season👍

if the cap goes up and ze maintains this level of effort combined with iq combined with pointz; he will be a bargain after they win the cup 👍🏿

I disagree. I dont think he has that in him.
- Archaic

I don't think the jump from a 25 goal pace to 30 goals is that big for a 22 year old

I also don't think the jump from 55ish point pace to 70 points is that big for a 22 year old.

But we will see. Maybe he regresses into a 20/20 guy and we can all laugh at the Sens and that terrible contract.

Laughing at the sens, you would think it would have gotten boring by now.

But it really hasnt.



I do think they will be a feisty pain in the butt team to play against this year and next as they improve.

Keep Willie, trade Marner and get McDavid.

It’s being openly stated they had to pay him more to get him to sign for that long.

So Ottawa had to choose to sign him for a shorter period of time or pay him more. They chose to pay more so they don’t lose him as quickly.

Paying him for the future like the Leafs did.

Brady Tkachuk #6 in expected goals over the last 2 seasons. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Or they could trade the little rat.

MB? Who?
- bobbyisno1

Was suppose to be MT (M Tkachuk).....buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut somehow I typed a "B" instead?

Pace means very little. Come back when he actually hits 25 goals. He wont be a perenial 30 goal scorer. I see him as 25ish goal scorer and 60ish point player.

8.25 is way overpaying for that type of production.

Keep Willie, trade Marner and get McDavid.
- bobbyisno1

Ok, lets get this done.

Maybe he’ll get to play on Matthews wing, then he’d rack up the points.

- bobbyisno1

Dont be ridiculous. They arent getting McDavid until his contract is up

Ottawa also doesnt give signing bonuses so probably had to add a little on top for that
