Might as well take a shot at a UFA to reach cap floor tbh. I’d be interested to see who’d want to join a really talented young up and coming squad. You’d have to overpay to land a big fish but it might be worth it for the mentor ship.

We will give you Okposo for a 4th liner, really good leader and mentor

haha, you funny. I’m not an Ottawa fan, but I am curious to see what they decide to do next summer. They should have Brady resigned ASAP tho. Give the kid a long term deal with. Doesn’t hurt to get an RFA done early. I’d love to see them go after a goalie and a big fish UFA. They could be really fun to watch

Trade for VAN goalie prospect, it if SJ pick if like 7-12 take that goalie who is really good, can't remember the name

yaroslav askarov and they dont know much about him but he could even be a top 5 pick by the time the draft rolls around

Would love to see Ottawa get competitive soon, I miss alfie ((

3 words. Bring back robin lehner. The guys is really good and so just what Ottawa needs to possible even make the playoffs with a young team like this

I've had the same scenario going through my head. I will have no guilt cheering for every team playing the Sharks. If Logan Brown is ready you could see him take the 2C role and White shift to RW. I also have tinge of guilt not seeing Pageau in that lineup. I think he ends up staying or returning after deadline deal.

thats four words

Lmao I was gonna say bring back lehner

lol

Hogberg, Gustavson, Daccord, Sogaard, Mandolese are all in the pipeline so it wouldn't make much sense to add another goalie to that mix.

That's crazy for a goalie, I guess you wouldn't want to miss out on him...could start right away?

hes great but i doubt he'll start right away
for example Carey Price was drafted 5th overall in 2005 by Montreal and he didn't play until 2008
goalies take time so Askarov might play 2-3 years after drafted probably

DeMelo proly going to get 4-4.5m over 4-5 years, they will trade Tierny and re-sign Pageau for 4.5-5m per and proly have the C on his shirt too. Brown and Duclair contracts depends on what they do this year, if they score good they may get in to 4-5m per range if not they may get traded/leave
