Sens Moving Forward

Sens moving backwards*

How so? This team is going to be bad. Why not trade guys who have some sort of value (or have asked to be moved) for young prospects and picks? As a Sens fan, I'd be thrilled to see these moves.

Who is McKormmick? This is the second trade in a short period I have seen him going to CGY, I like the idea here of getting a Smith Anderson platoon. Just wondering where his value is at!

Max McCormick has played the past 4 seasons in Belleville and put up decent numbers while there. Problem is, that hasn't really translated to any success at the NHL level. To me, he's very much in the same position as Nick Paul, for reference. Both players will be given longer looks in the NHL this year, but I don't see McCormick ever being much more than a 12/13th forward. I added him in this trade thinking that it could maybe bump up the pick I included with Stone by a round or two. To me, might as well get something for him, since if he has another year without much success at the NHL level, I can see the Sens moving on without him.

The Flames are stacked with those kind of players is the problem, I think if he was just AHL depth, no problem, you are selling towards one of our surpluses though which is what makes me thing that the pick would be tough to add from a Flames perspective. I am a big advocate for a tandem of Smith and Anderson between the pipes and if that is what it took to get it done, in my mind it's a no doubter.
