Because you say so?

I think they’ll do what makes sense for team stuck at the bottom of conference 

 

Why would they get rid of their best player lol? Hes in year 4 of a 7 year contract. All their stars are young and that’s the problem. It’s common sense.

Package Rossi, Yurov, and a 1st for Brady. Rossi will get rag-dolled and spit on in the playoffs.

They aren’t trading Brady you newb. Why can’t people get this out of their head? He’s their best player and he’s only 24….

imagine how good he’ll be in 2-3 years. He’s on contract for 3 more years and it’s a very cheap contract considering how good he is. If you’re going to propose it then site a reasonable source that reports this possibly happening. There is no truth to it.

I think anyone listening to what is coming out of Ottawa knows this. The GM straight up said "I can tell you 100 percent there’s never actually been an ounce of discussion about Brady Tkachuk being anything other than an Ottawa Senator." after the trade speculation with the Rangers. There is no way he is going anywhere. I doubt they would let him go even if he requested a trade to be honest.

Kap is one inch taller.

But Kap is 20 pounds heavier (according to what's published).

And 97 is a superstar while Rossi is currently a good player with promise.  So this comparison is apples and oranges

My point is that 97 is like Liam Neeson and has a "special set of skills" that others don't possess.  So to say Rossi and 97 are similar size, so Rossi should be able to do the things 97 can do, does not compute.

We understand, relax. How is Matt Tkachuk doing in Calgary and Eichel in buffalo?

I watch 2 games a year of Ottawa, so I don't have a good handle on their situation. Tkachuk's wear their emotions on their sleeves. Body language would easily tell if Brady Tkachuk was sick of losing and wanted out. 

Don't go by reports, or their beat guy, go by what we see of Tkachuk on the ice. I heard the "blockbuster" was with LeFrieniere. The #1 overall in his draft year who has struggled, even though he was supposed to be a generational player. Yeah, if I'm Staios, I'm not entertaining that either. 

I've never seen a Tkachuk quit. But I've seen Tkachuk's take out their frustrations on opponents leaving a swath of destruction behind them. Perhaps we need to spend a little time watching Ottawa games, how they respond after letting in a bad goal, how they respond after losing? 

I am convinced that Staios will not trade the player unless he is completely convinced he's lost him. To this, I would have a scout at almost every Ottawa game paying attention to body language, specifically of the target. It won't be hard to pick up, you don't even need a body language expert. Just look for the spewing volcano.

Edmonton just bitch slapped us into next week.  Want to know how we stack up against Edmonton when Ek and Brodin are out of the line up.  We don't.  

How would Edmonton do without Draisaitl (2C), Kapenen (2W), Brown (4W) and Ekholm (1D)?

It’s a miracle we beat Utah - we’re so beat up.

This plus you never know - maybe a scenario to retool with grade a prospect and young center Rossi would peak their interest 

sometimes it’s about making the change to get team and fans excited and prolong your employment…..cause Ottawa is not really a winning team….haven’t been since days of heater and spezza

So that’s why they’d consider
