I think the Rakell trade isn't enough for us to land him unfortunately.

I dont think easily. almost 5 mil for the next 4 years is a lot. Swap two underwhelming young players and Sens get a much higher pick. Why would they say no

I do not know what else he is worth. Definitely not worth a first

He absolutely would be worth a late 1st in my opinion. Taking out the 4th is a start. All depends if Anaheim is one of the teams that values Risto.

I agree here. White doesn't fit into the future plans here

My point was Buf does not have a first to give especially this years first. Id throw in another 2nd and that would be the most

Because one of those “underwhelming young players” has considerably higher upside and versatility and played really well down the stretch? Much higher pick is stupid to say, it’s a 2 round difference in the middle rounds, that means next to nothing. All Thompson has is size, he’s not more than a 4th liner. White is at WORST an effective 2-way 3C.

White isn't in our future plans. Getting something positive for him is good

Thompson sucks ass. I don't think a 3rd for White and a 5th is good enough. White is expensive for what he brings, but I don't agree that he can't fit with Ottawa long term. He just needs a different role. He's not a C, but I think he can be a good middle six winger

I think it's a problem that will solve itself this season. Ottawa is going to add a C in the top 6, and Pinto is going to be the 3rd line C. hopefully they can realize that Paul is a better 4C than White, and they move White to a Winger in the top 9.

I think he would look good with Tkachuk and Norris, or with Dadonov and Pinto.

Sens need the centre more than the winger right now.

Taking Thomson because you want to bail on a contract that some believe was too much last season, but is actually in line with a middle6 centre, is short sighted. White made $4MM last season, and who cares about the cap while the Sens are well below the limit. Next season, White needs to produce more, since his pay will now match his cap.

Look at it this way

cap $81.5MM
Two healthy scratches at $750K each is $1.5MM, that leaves $80MM for 20 players dressed, or $4MM each. White just needs to be slightly above average to earn his $4.75MM.
If a 3C produces 35 points, and a 2C produces 50 points, White can earn his check at around 40+ points, while playing solid defence. In two seasons when the cap goes up, he doesn't need to produce as much since the avg goes up, but he should. The only time White's contract should come into question is if he produces less than 0.50 points per game, or he doesn't improve enough to earn the final season salary. The team is three seasons from needing to decide on Whites production to value.

As for position, this season he's needed as a centre, next season the team will look different, and we'll see if he's still a centre or moves to the wing.

Tage Thompson isn't the answer
