He basically said the contract is just as important as a fit as the the age of the player. He doesn't like handing out 7/8 year deals as they rarely turn out good and doesn't want to hamper his team. I think between Ottawas asking prices and Steve not wanting to give ABD the contract he wants, wings are out. He is pretty dead set on building through the draft and filling some gaps via free agency until the kids are ready. He's not feeling any pressure to make a trade and playoffs would be nice, but not necessarily what needs to happen. Wants the improvement to be from the young nucleus and continue building the core around Larkin. Not saying it's a no, but just sounded like he splashed cold water on any big moves

Thread: Cap with Giroux
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sr_Advisor_Hockey_Ops</b></div><div>The longer Giroux's contract, the lower the AAV. I could see him at 3 x $5m, not 7. I also think Connor Brown is going to be traded at the TDL like Nick Paul was this year. Giroux 5 and no Connor Brown creates nearly $6m in cap space.
Personally, I would offer Giroux 1 year at 7, so he can chase the Cup again as a rental. In fact, rather than offering UFA Giroux, I would prefer offering the 2022 # 7 overall pick to Carolina for RFA Martin Necas or to VGK for RFA Nicolas Roy, (Carolina and Vegas must know that both players are prime candidates for an offer sheet of 5 years $4.2 million with a 2023 2nd Rd pick as compensation).
Come to think of it, how about keep the #7 pick and trade Connor Brown to cap-squeezed VGK for Nicolas Roy and Evgeni Dadanov? You could then trade Dadanov, either to Arizona as a camp dump or at the TDL as a rental.</div></div>

Nicolas Roy is great but not worth a 7th OA pick in any way, shape or form.

I like the idea for Trading brown but you’d think Daddonov would have Ottawa on his no trade list right?? Maybe they could send brown in a package for Marchessault or swap for Patches?(if they waive protections)

Thread: BATHERSONNN
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>A_SENSFAN2020</b></div><div>Very, very fair. Tierney is so average. I honestly like Gambrell as a fourth line shutdown guy. At least his defence is decent. Passes the eye test unlike 71 lol</div></div>

Tierney isn't even average anymore. He's straight up not an NHL player. He used to be a slightly above average 3C imo, but the last two years he's lost all of what made him effective. I held out hope that some team would take a flyer on him this year, but with the deadline having come and gone, there's simply no justification for him being in the lineup.

Gambrell I don't even think is very good. He's not a guy who should be in the lineup on a good team either, but he at least puts out effort. Kastelic is better than either, but he's on Belleville duty
