Kevin Allen: Is there a scent of another offer sheet in the NHL these days? Some teams have the cap space to make a run at Tkachuk or Pettersson

If next years draft is as deep as has been rumoured, 3 picks in 2022 might be steep. Leafs and Leafs fans are constantly reminded of the Kessel trade

Either you're really bored and have nothing to write about or you just enjoy stirring the pot.

ok Kevin let's do some math. 10.6 mil + a possible 3.5 mil from Ferland =14.1 mil. + Vancouver has 5 too many players on the roster totaling about 3.7 mil = 17.8 mil

I don't know the answer to this question but maybe somebody can help me out. How many teams in the league would have Brady as their number one LW and give him the kind of ice time he gets in Ottawa?

This thing goes two ways. In Ottawa Brady is king, surrounded by young, skilled and hungry players. Where else would that be true?

You dont spend $10m+ on a winger, unless it's Kucherov or a younger version of guys like Kane or Ovechkin. Tkachuk isn't even in the same stratosphere. And you certainly don't give up a bunch of 1sts for him. So Detroit or Anaheim or Columbus are going to win the lottery but the pick was lost for Brady Tkachuk? As someone else said, he wouldn't even be on the top line for most of the league.

I would say he's got that hungry young players in Anaheim. Imagine a line with him and McTavish. Could work.

This is just speculation on my part but maybe Brady understands that even in Ottawa he may not be a number one LW for very long so If he is holding out for big money long term this might just be his last chance.

If someone were to offer Brady $10M+ Ottawa will take the picks and run.

No one is going to do that.

I know someone who knows Tkachuk. He was golfing with friends today to celebrate his birthday. He's meeting with his agent and the Sens tomorrow. Extension likely announced on Monday. It's a done deal.

"The other argument is Vancouver or Tkachuk will match. Maybe they will. Probably they will. No teams wanted to let a player be poached."

This is intriguing

I would love to see players spice things up and match their offer sheets

Two totally different situations, involving two totally diff players and team situations.

One - offer sheeting Brady doesnt put Ottawa into cap space difficultly. They have plenty of space to match.

Two - of the two, EP is more likely to get a 10 million dollar offer.

Three - only an offer heavily front loaded with signing bonuses would make Ottawa pause IMO. Or a short one. But it would send the wrong message to Sens fans. And it would end any chance of Eugene winning back the fans. They wouldn't be able to give away tickets.

"But didn’t Montreal’s run this past season remind us yet again that some teams are closer than we think they are?"

Where is the team called "Tkachuk " located?

For a respected journalist such as yourself, this is an inexcusable mistake, it is expected from ek, but not from you Mr. Allen

Since you care so much...Tkachuk is cousins with a guy named Casey Fitzgerald who was drafted by Buffalo. They are also cousins with the Hayes family. Casey and I went to school at Boston College. He told me he was golfing with Brady and some friends today because it was his birthday. I said doesn't he have a deal to sign? Yeah they have a meeting on Friday and it should be done over the weekend. Happy now?

Lol, that’s funny. The hockey version of Kevin Bacon is Rick Bowness. HockeyBuzzed knows Casey Fitzgerald. Casey Fitzgerald knows Brady(cousins). Brady’s dad is Keith.
Bowness coached Keith.

“ Every offseason I read a speculation story about how this will be the season teams start handing out offer sheets like they were Halloween treats.

I always roll my eyes.”
