Probably didn't want to deal with the ridiculous negotiation/contract that is about to go down with him.


Buffalo got REKT holy shit. It's honestly their fault for not letting Jack get the surgery he wanted... he could be basically fully recovered by now had they let him back in the early summer


agreed, more likely the contract hassle more than some perceived locker room cancer bs

mcdavid laughed his team off the ice after getting swept, if thats not cancer idk what is, but he's tradeable

Good. Tkachuk bullshit rumour was a litmus test to see how gullible you were as a hockey fan.

Trading big for a guy before a major neck surgery, nty.

Also, the Oilers are not good at hockey.

Given the current situation I think Buffalo did fine.

He's damaged goods, they weren't going to get full value for a disgruntled 10M player especially if they didn't want to retain any cap or take any cap dumps back (which they didn't).

The top-10 protection on the 1st is lols though

honestly i think it's buffalo playing 4d chess

they probably realllly wanted krebs and vegas didn't wanna add him. So buffalo probably asked flames for tkachuk before brad laughed and hung up. Then leaked it, and vegas probably felt like oh shit their offer is miles better than our junk, ok we add krebs gg no re?

This

Assuming this is the best offer on the table, they didn’t get fleeced by any stretch. Its better to trade the player and move on rather than sit on it and lose value overtime with the hopes of getting a better offer next year.

Tkachuk probably going to get paid as much as Eichel if Flames want any chance at long term.

Would rather Eichel tbh. Buffalo should have taken it if it was real tho
