No to Ehlers

Created by: Rooster
Team: 2024-25 Ottawa Senators
Initial Creation Date: May 15, 2024
Published: May 15, 2024
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
I read the Athletic article and I love Ehlers, but this would repeat the DeBrincat and Tarasenko mistakes. Too much $ invested on forwards. Priority needs to be rebuilding the back end and fixing our goalies.

All good. Anyone who could use a LD. He’s going to make a team happy, but there just isn’t a fit for him in Ottawa anymore.

TBs left is full Hedman Sergachev and Lilleberg is top three with a Carlisle down in Cuse and probably resign Fluery for 800 k or so. If he were at 1.1-1.2 would be different

Should have added that an extension would be in place. And with an extension then he becomes amongst the best dmen available.

But UFAs have a built in extension and it doesn't cost any assets. Chychrum's greatest value will be at TDL when a team needs a Dman...retention and not much cap.,

If they trade for Ehlers you just have to move Norris somewhere for pennies I guess. You'd still have enough money to spend on defense.

True, but it puts us in the same top-heavy squeeze we’ve been in the past two seasons. I’d much prefer if Staois addresses the blue line and then if there’s cap space, make a move for another forward. I love Ehlers and think he’d be a great fit. Unfortunately and realistically, I think Norris’ value is pennies until he can show that his shoulder can withstand a full NHL season.
