Thread: Yo Pierre you want to come out here
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xspyrit</b></div><div>I know this will sound crazy but the only interest would be Cale Makar, or Newhook straight up if they really like him

I mean Girard plays RD but I'm not sure he's the type of guy they want (size bias too). They need to find a Methot for Chabot.

MacKinnon is great but will be very expensive, plus with Stutzle and Norris it's not a position of need

Some great wingers too but with Tkachuk, Batherson, DeBrincat and Giroux, MacKinnon, also not a position of need

Then there's guys like Greig, Formenton, Jarventie, etc who will be waiting their opportunity

Toews and Byram are great but with Chabot and Sanderson, not a position of need

Also, JBD would be far from a throw in, they have had these guy on their target for quite some time</div></div>

My hot take is Pinto will be better than Norris

Thread: Making the Senators a wild card team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMac66</b></div><div>This whole 'time to trade away futures' narrative is big bs. No perennial playoff team traded high picks BEFORE they proved they could at least contend for the playoffs. It's a sure fire way to have inconsistent seasons. I really hope Dorion doesn't mess up the rebuild forcing expectations on them without proving it first. Having said that, a top 4 D is the best way to improve the team. I hope they keep their 1st, maybe find a 2nd line winger in FA</div></div>

Yes. Before spending the 7th OA pick or any other significant asset, it would be stupid to not try to lure a Top-6 winger on the UFA market. They can afford to spend higher AAV than pretty much all teams without giving up too much term. It could even be like a Taylor Hall to Buffalo 1 year contract.

Thread: Lines bc of Dirty Hit on Sid
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMac66</b></div><div>I'm a Sid fan as much as the next guy but that was not malicious nor was it targeting. Just an unfortunate result. I really hope he comes back, he's been amazing to watch this series.</div></div>

Came here to say this. If we were back in the days of the goons sure maybe I’d have some thoughts about the malicious intent. But a guy like trouba isn’t out their intending to injure Sid. It’s playoff hockey and guys are moving so fast all it takes is one unfortunate play to get hurt.

I mean look at what happened with Scheifele and tkachuk in 2019-20. Crushing injury to the jets top player and many felt like it had ill intent when his skate just bounced up and caused an injury.

Stuff happens, and unfortunately injuries are a part of the game. Should give the pens some much needed vengeance and jump for game 6.
