Thread: Who are Young Scorers the Ducks should pursue

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stan_Bowman</b></div><div>His potential landed the hawks a first and a prospect back in the day 😎</div></div>

That trade was peak "everybody needs to help the Chicago Blackhawks". Here's a 3rd for Scott Darling, here's two 2nds for Andrew Shaw, here's Richard Panik for an AHL player. There was a time where teams could not wait to get their hands on spare parts from the Chicago Blackhawks.

Even at the time that was a terrible trade. He was only 23, but nothing about his career to that point suggested that he was more than a 3rd liner. They ended up getting Nicolas Beaudin and Philipp Kurashev from that deal which is ridiculous.

Thread: Who are Young Scorers the Ducks should pursue

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>This is a list of young wings and defenseman who could do very well with the ducks (note while there point totals and abilities may seem low the ducks have a habit of turning these kinds of players into gems)

Forwards

Roslavic (tonnes of Potential)
Hartman (has so much potential)
Simon (analytics show something big in him)
Benett (needs out of the flames)
Jankowski (same reason as benett)

Defense

Deangelo (ducks could use a young offensive RHD and he could play on the third pairing and help them with their pp)
Niku</div></div>

I'm so sick of hearing about Ryan Hartman's potential. He's going to be 26, and he's played over 300 games. He's a useful player, but he's a depth guy, and that's all he's ever going to be.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Carterman13</b></div><div>Yes he is</div></div>

Not for Ottawa imo. Better off drafting a C and keeping all the assets they would have to give up. Don't get me wrong Lafreniere is going to be a superstar, but if it costs Ottawa let's say, Byfield+Batherson+ the 22nd and 33rd picks, I don't think you're getting more value out of Lafreniere than you are out of that package, especially considering the relative impact of a star C vs a star W.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>Awesome just hold tryouts for RHD lol cuz they’re not going to be able to afford Shatty and they’ll be left with Foote and probably re-sign Rutta as well.</div></div>

Even if Serg plays the off side, the D is still shot to hell unless Rutta and Shattenkirk not only don't get raises, but cut their current salaries in half. Even if you plop Foote immediately into the top 4 ( I'm not sure he's going to be ready for that), you still have the not good Braden Coburn as a full time top 6 D which isn't good, and then you re-sign Bogosian or Schenn, neither of whom are very good either. It gets so thin so fast.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stanley_Cup_To_Manhattan</b></div><div>Wouldn't they just trade Cernak or let him get OS'd and simply let him walk for cap space?</div></div>

Cernak alone doesn't give you enough room. The Vasilevsky extension alone makes it tough, and they still have a whole blueline to sign, including Sergachev. They would basically need to move two of Killorn, Palat, Johnson or Gourde, all of whom have have some form of trade/move protection and outside of Killer I don't imagine there will be a huge market for any of those players, and I'm not sure they'd waive to go to teams with the cap space to acquire them.

They're going to be faced with some tough decisions this summer, and if they can trade Cirelli, and they're able to get a skilled forward to replace him at league min, they'd have to jump at it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stanley_Cup_To_Manhattan</b></div><div>Don't really see Tampa doing it tbh.</div></div>

I don't see them getting many trade offers that heat that. Compensation on an offersheet they wouldn't be able to match would be a 1st + 3rd, and they're getting a skilled C making league min with 2C upside who can step into the lineup right away.

Thread: I think they fall but not 1 in 8

Interesting idea, but if I'm giving up Brown and retaining salary there needs to be more going back to Ottawa than Borgstrom. Logan Brown is probably enough to get Seattle to take the entire Zaitsev deal without any bad contract coming back. Zaitsev's deal is bad, but after two seasons, which is when Stralman would be up, Zaitsev is a pretty painless buyout from that point anyway.

Norris would immediately be the 2C.

Thread: So worst case we have 12 overall

After Minnesota and Arizona, Winnipeg is one of my top Choices for where I'd like to see Lafreniere land. It doesn't effect the Sens, and it isn't something horrible like Chicago or Pittsburgh or Toronto.

Also if they did get Lafreniere, I'd love to see Ottawa target a guy like Nik Ehlers. Sens could put a decent package for Ehlers, then the Jets could take part of that package and flip it for a guy like Cirelli or Strome.

Thread: Team Of Every Teams Best Prospect

What is your criteria for what constitutes a prospect? Because Brannstrom, Batherson, Brown, Norris are all definitely ahead of Formenton, and I'd have JBD ahead of him too.

Thread: What I would give up to move to 2 and JJ

I think Byfield is better that Stutzle, but I wouldn't bother moving up imo. Especially if LA wants Stutzle anyway, there's no reason to give up an extra asset to get the same player. Make LA make that decision, Ottawa will be fine with way.

Also huge pass on that PIT trade.

Forum: Armchair-GMThu at 1:17 pm

Thread: What would I do

I don't see why Ottawa should do this. Compher is fine, but not a player you move Formenton for. If I'm moving Formenton, it's in a package for an impact player, otherwise it doesn't make sense. Trading him for middle six depth doesn't make sense, because that's what he's going to be not that far from now, and he's got a more special skillset that whoever you would hypothetically be trading for. I don't think Colorado has a player that would be worth trading Formenton for, AND that Colorado would be willing to move.

Thread: OTT Draft Trade

Sens don't need, and likely don't even want to Dump Bobby Ryan at this point. He's an effective player and a valuable leader for the young guys coming through the next couple of seasons.

This is horrendous value for Ottawa. There's no need to trade up for Byfield when the other option is Tim Stutzle, and there's a good chance they just get Byfield anyway because LA might take Stutzle 2nd.

Thread: Draft

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafs_and_Sens_Fan</b></div><div>It would be a good idea to bottom out for 1 more year. Lots of good defensemen in next years draft.

If we don't go for Drysdale I think it would be good to get at least another elite defensemen to make a cup run.

If we go for Drysdale we still need a 2C and a top line RW.</div></div>

I don't disagree that it would be a good Idea, I just don't think it happens. I think players like Chabot, Tkachuk and Batherson will take steps forward, and I'm assuming they make at least one significant addition, likely to the blueline or a top six forward. I still think they'll be bad, but they were surprisingly competitive under DJ this year, and I think they'll be a better team next year imo.
