Thread: Sabres blow it all up
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sabresforlife</b></div><div></div></div> Not true I took Gáborík, Marián off your hands, Skinner is up and down but he's no worst than 2nd line, you could if you wanted make parts of further deals with Montour and McCabe, Last you have the most cap space in the NHL so stop crying - you get a legit superstar, a guy who at worst is your second line forward, a good 4th line guy, and two defensemen - I got 3 probablies 6 maybes and a contract I got to eat.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sabresforlife</b></div><div>well I was like 50+ mil under the cap - I think there is a minimum you have to spend</div></div>

The sens won't have a problem meeting the minimum. That's no reason to make a bad deal. lol 50 mil? I guess you just live in hyperboles. I just did you're trade plus resigning C. Brown, Duclair and Teirney, Montour they came in at 81.3mil... no thanks.

Well they don't have any cap space left now. And complaining about paying 1 player 3mil after you just shed 28mil? Look who's crying now. Gaborik is being paid for 1 year unlike Okposo that the sens are actually eating for 3 years. The cost of the superstar is going to hamper the team with inflated contracts. So it's more than not worth it.

Thread: Ottawa fans - would you do this
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tormundgiantsbane</b></div><div>The mystery effect of next year's pick is why it'd be intriguing for the Rangers. Almost like entering a lottery after winning the lottery lol.

Only reason I'm asking is because the Rangers need a center BADLY. I've wanted Byfield for the longest time and of course I wouldn't complain if we win the first overall pick but it'd be really unfortunate to be able to pick a center but pick a winter instead because he's a "can't pass up" prospect. I know Ottawa fans were disappointed when they missed out on 1OA last week so wanted to gauge how the fan base would feel about trading 3 but NOT 5 (most proposals for OTT moving up include both 3 and 5 OA).

I like the majority of pieces in your counter offer, however I'd do it for 3rd in place of 5th and take out one of the players. So 3rd + 15th + Logan Brown. Gives us center depth (Byfield + Brown could be 2C and 3C) and you get Lafreniere while still getting a center on a very slightly lower tier in Rossi or Perfetti.</div></div>

That's great that most proposals include 3 and 5. But that's wishful thinking to me. I, and I hope dorion, would never do 3 and 5 for 1st.

As for 3rd, nyi and brown. It's still something to think about. I'd feel more comfortable if lias Anderson was included.

Thread: 1OA for 3OA and 5OA
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jambo</b></div><div>Im just saying if I'm the GM of Team E, thats what I want from Ottawa to even son cider moving down. Im not saying its a good idea for Ottawa to do, I'm just saying I'm gonna need a lot to pass up on Lafrieniere. 3rd and 5th alone probably doesn't make me want to make the trade. Know what I mean? If you want Laf, really make me think about it</div></div>

It's hard to imagine 3rd and 5th isn't a lot to think about. Hypothetically, say it was Winnipeg. 3 and 5 could be byfield and Drysdale solving their Centre position and RD for a decade or more. Or they can have another stud winger, that they have plenty of. Or say it's a team pressed up against the cap. Having 2 inpact players on ELCs rather than one gives them great flexibility with their roster.

So frankly, for me, I would need convincing to trade the 3 and 5 for Laff. Sure we don't know what they will be, and laff is the safest bet to be very good but it's a tough sell for a rebuilding team to go from 2 potential game changers to 1. Even though were all more sure of the 1

Thread: 1OA for 3OA and 5OA
No chance. It's better for Ottawa to get 2 players. I don't even think it would be a discussion, at least I hope it wouldn't

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jambo</b></div><div>you'd need the right team to win 1st overall.....and then add substantially...

Throw in Branstrom with 3rd and 5th and you might have a conversation longer than 2 seconds with: NYR? WPG? Teams that have potent offenses that JUST, BARELY, MAYBE, MIGHT consider the idea of potentially getting Branstrom, Stutzle/Byfield, and Marco Rossi/Jamie Drysdale/Lucas Raymond, instead of 1 player, no matter how good....Food for thought.

Would you trade Auston Matthews for Miro Heiskanen and Elias Petterson? (1st OV for a 3rd and 5th OV) (I know its different, but...) I think you'd at least think about it for a minute</div></div>

Heiskanen and Petterson all day. But then you think Sens would have to add brannstrom to 2 top 5 picks? That must be a joke

Thread: Senators with all 13 picks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TCMonkey</b></div><div>I like your picks just fine. I used the draftprospectshockey.com site (picked 2nd and 6th OA) and simulated the other picks between the Ottawa picks. I couldn't tell you if your selects were on the board or not when the Ottawa picks came around but for sure Drysdale was gone before 6th and Amirov was gone by 21st. I'd prefer Jarvis over Bourque or Perrault; elite feet and hands... he's like Hoffman but with a sane girlfriend (hopefully). But like I said, I'd be happy with your selections too. I was just having fun and putting out a roster with all our picks included.</div></div>

Absolutely, fun is what this is supposed to be. I'd never be seriously upset about a mock draft. Oohh I didn't know you had 6th...thats sure changes my 2nd pick. If Jarvis is available for the islander pick that would be fine with me too. But like Amirov he might be gone. Hopefully the isles get beat out in the play in lol

Thread: Senators with all 13 picks
I wouldn't mind modifying a couple picks. Byfield would be a given at 2 and I like Helge Grans so lets keep that one too. I really don't think Jarvis will be available in the 2nd round. Even though Lapierre has good skills and the Sens can afford to take a risk, his 3 concussions are worrisome. A couple more and he I'd be concerned for his future health. It's also easier to get them the more you have. So having said that I'd like to revamp to the 3rd round and tell me what you think. I used draft site as the mock for pick selection. But I definitely think there will be lots of movement as to where players go from the 2nd round on.

2. Byfield
3. Drysdale
21. Amirov - even though he's a lefty, he plays RW. I don't think he'd be available past 20 but he doesn't have any glaring deficiencies. If he's gone, I'd look at either Mavrik Bourque or Jacob Perreault. Both play C and shoot right. Perreault is more of a sniper and Bourque a playmaker. I don't think it would be hard to move them to wing.
33. Helge Grans - I don't think he's lasting much past the top of round 2
46. Justin Sourdif - Great stick handling and skater C/RW
52. Joni Jurmo - Big LHD. Apparently high hockey IQ and good mobility.
53. Kasper Simontaival - Small RW with explosive shot and good passes. 25 goals and over a ppg in finnish junior
64. Jean-Luc Foundy - Reminds me of Formenton when everything need to catch up to how fast he is.
74. Brandon Coe - Needs some work but played on a bad NB Battalion team. If he's not available i'd look at Jack Finley. Yes another big center but one of the youngest players in the class and has room to develop

After this I dunno, flip a coin
I realize I took a lot of right handed wingers but I can't help it if there seems to be a lot of interesting ones this year haha.
