Overly Optimistic

I know sens management is high on boucher but i am not, that is why he is a sweetener in the white trade.

If Ottawa offers that package to Arizona I don't know how they pass. Even with Zaitsev added they have to take it.

I know Montreal was interested in White at the deadline but now there are a couple of obstacles 1. We only have 2 mil ish cap space and are needing to resign Pitlick and Romanov. 2. We won the 1st OVA pick and are most likely frafting Wright. So we really don't have any more need for white.

Regardless of your opinion on Boucher, that White deal is beyond awful for Ottawa. Ottawa is retaining double what the cap hit on White's buyout would be, taking back a bad contract and giving up a prospect. Ottawa is getting hosed. I'd be open to retaining salary on the White deal, but if they're retaining up to that 875K or above and not receiving something good in return why should they bother? Just buy him out.

I remember reading that Dylan Strome might not even recieve a qualifying offer. If that's the case he's not worth a thing in a trade, just wait til he's non tendered and make an offer in free agency. Personally not a believer in Strome. He'd definitely be an improvement to the forward group, but definitely not one I'd move assets for. Getting him for free as a FA is a different story.

When i said i wasn’t high on boucher, i meant i’m still mad that the sens drafting him at 10, and would move him for 10 chris tierneys out of spite
