The New Jersey Devils are no strangers to aggressive moves, and their reported interest in Ottawa Senators star Brady Tkachuk has the hockey world buzzing.
A potential trade sending the young power forward to New Jersey would represent a seismic shift in the Eastern Conference landscape.
Devils’ Potential Trade Package for Brady Tkachuk
NHL trade rumors suggest the Devils are willing to construct a hefty package to land Tkachuk. One potential trade scenario has New Jersey offering their 2024 first-round pick, a conditional 2025 second-rounder, top prospects Alexander Holtz and Arseni Gritsyuk, and veteran Ondrej Palat. The Senators would, in return, send Tkachuk, a 2024 fourth-round pick, and prospect defenseman Donovan Sebrango.
The biggest hurdle in any potential deal is New Jersey’s desire to retain star defenseman Simon Nemec. Ottawa is reportedly insistent on Nemec’s inclusion, creating a major sticking point in trade talks.
A player like Brady Tkachuk, with his blend of skill, grit, and leadership, is rarely available on the trade market. The Devils see the opportunity to add a franchise cornerstone, propelling them into legitimate contender status. However, the cost will be significant, and the Senators are in no rush to move their young captain.
