Would you trade up to have both Tkachuks?

[FanIn80]

...and if so, what would it take?

Edit: He's slated Top-5; Button has him at 3.

[Jaydee]

I would trade dougie to get him

[bubbsy]

Where is he slotted to go with regards to draft position

[manwiches]

3rd, according to Button.

and yes, i would consider trading for him. It would take quite a deal though i would think

[Cycling76er]

Trade what exactly? We have no picks and the assets we'd have to give up just so we could have the "matching set" would make no sense.

[albertGQ]

No. We don't need another LWer. I know he's also listed as a center but who would he displace on LW? Not Johnny, Matthew or Sam.

[FanIn80]

Gaudreau Monahan Tkachuk
Bennett Jankowski Tkachuk

Would teams just concede without even showing up?

[albertGQ]

I wonder where he would've been picked in the 2016 draft had he been born one day earlier. Just after Nico and Nolan?

[Monahan For Mayor]

We don't even have a first round pick, so I don't see how we could do it. If it is possible to get him with a reasonable offer I'd love it. We would be the most annoying team in the NHL to play against.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Won't happen.

[jayswin]

I would do Hamilton for him and that probably woudn't be enough. Teams would be asking for Monahan or Gaudreau....or even Tkachuk. At least a Tkachuk for Tkachuk trade would take the Peter Griffen meme to new heights.


A Tkachuk's a Tkachuk, but a Tkahuck could be anything, even a Tkachuk.

[Table 5]

Although I'll gladly take him, what this team really needs is a sniper in the mold of Boeser or Laine, not another Tkachuk.

[Tinordi]

Without a 1st rounder you're talking about trading Gaudreau.

I think he will be better then both of them. He definitely would have gone before Nolan. Maybe not Nico.

[SportsJunky]

And let Glue Gun ruin him too? No way!

If we don't make the playoffs, I honestly would give that some thought.

I wouldn't trade Dougie for the Tkachuk the Flames already have and he's better than Brady will be

Brodie or Hamonic+ would be what I'd move for him

As long as him and Dahlin end up outside the division I'll be happy with how this draft plays out

[killer_carlson]

Yes, I would

[SuperMatt18]

Would be interesting.

I could see Buffalo looking at it.

If they end up at 3/4 and their are no D-Men left on the board I think they may be interested.

Hamilton for that pick probably gets it done since they need RH d-men desperately and have some decent forwards already plus Mittelstadt and Nylander on the way.

It would hurt to do but I would think about it as a Flames fan. Hamonic, Stone, Andersson is still pretty good RH d- depth.

My worry would be that as good as Tkachuk looked in this tourney, he's not exactly lighting it up at BU compared to other top 5 picks out of college. He has 14 points in 20 games. As a comparison Eichel had 71 in 40 GP in his draft year at BU. Matthew is probably the better Tkachuk here and Hamilton is likely an over-payment.

[OutOfTheCube]

We'll be happy to take him with our pick (when we inevitably lose the draft lottery to not get to pick Dahlin).
