Thread: Ottawa

Yeah no, that's not happening. You know darn well nobody is touching that deal.

Also the Anisimov deal hasn't been much of a deal for Ottawa. He's just as slow, but nowhere near as lovable as Smith.

Thread: Sending Brannstrom down

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>Yeah , placing on the 3rd pairing where he would be matched up against lesser competition would be good for brannstrom - he would be able to gain confidence and ultimately end up on the 2nd pairing within a few months, but I get what you’re saying. Maybe 20 games in the AHL will be good for him and he can rejoin the team later in the year.

The islanders currently have Noah Dobson rotating in the 3rd pairing, they’re able to do that with their depth on defense.</div></div>

Once Wolanin is healthy, the Sens will have another top 4 guy to play the left side. Then you bring Brannstrom back up and play him on the 3rd pair. Hopefully Hainsey and/or Borowiecki are gone by then.

Chabot-Zaitsev
Wolanin-DeMelo
Brannstrom-Jaros

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>Is he on the 2nd or 3rd pairing ?</div></div>

He's on the 2nd pairing. I'd say they should try him on the 3rd pair, but that's not an option, because you <strong>cannot</strong> play Borowiecki in the top 4. Can't even shake up the pairs, because even if you move DeMelo back into the top 4 (where he should be anyway) you're putting Boro-Hainsey together, which is just not an option.

Thread: Three-way trade idea

Don't see why Ottawa would want anything to do with this. Sens don't need a guy like Perreault at this point in the season. They should be moving guys out, not adding more. Outside of that it's Huchinson and a 4th for Andy and a prospect they really like (they tried to get Carcone twice last year). Don't really see it making sense there.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>swinny</b></div><div>Not the same after loosing to the Ducks. Team imploded. A few maintained a high level (Alfie, Fish, Phillips, Spezza)...... but the supporting cast really fell apart.</div></div>

They made the wrong choice with Redden over Chara, for the right reasons. The two were pretty evenly matched in Ottawa in terms of value, and they chose to go with the faster, seemingly more dynamic offensive player which 9/10 times would be the right call, it's just happened that Zdeno Chara is Zdeno Chara.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>swinny</b></div><div>I do believe Fisher was clean too.</div></div>

There were a few others as well. Don't recall ever hearing about guys like Philips, Donovan or Corvo, but it was a huge problem. Even the guys who didn't touch drugs were still getting drunk all the time.

I wonder how much that contributed to what was ultimately one of the most disappointing seasons in franchise history. That team was a world destroyer for the first 20 games or so.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>I think Balcers can be a 35-40pt player right now and possibly 50pts eventually</div></div>

That injury came at such an unfortunate time. He was in a great position to break out this season. Hopefully he'll be back in action in a couple of weeks and be ready to go. Sens could use his speed and they can definitely use his shot on the PP.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>Kapanen for Balcers, Demelo and a 3rd</div></div>

Pass. I ain't trading the Deer. I would do DeMelo and a 3rd, but I'm not giving up a solid forward prospect.

Rudy Balcers doesn't get nearly enough respect from Sens fans.

Palat would be nice, but trading Logan Brown would be a mistake. Especially trading him for an injury prone winger.

I'll take Boeser over Nylander, but it's pretty close. Woo is significantly better than Liljegren

Thread: Sens w Byfield

I would consider taking Byfield even with Lafreniere on the board. Every other team in the Atlantic has that Elite 1C. Point, Larkin, Bergeron, Eichel, Barkov etc. Ottawa needs that if they ever want a shot at contending in the Atlantic

Thread: Fresh lines with descriptions

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Haven't watched any Sens games yet but shouldn't Boedker be the 3rd line LW instead of Ennis?</div></div>

No. Boedker is a ghost on skates. He doesn't really contribute a whole lot, and consistently seems completely uninterested in fighting to stay in the lineup. That's why he's only played in two games this season. In my opinion he is still leaps and bounds better than Sabourin, but he isn't pushing out any <strong>real</strong> NHL players.

Ennis isn't immensely skilled or anything, but he works his ass off every single shift. He's a great skater and he's really strong on the forecheck, especially in puck battles along the boards.

For them to give hall to New York, they are going to ask for 2020 1st AND Kravstsov and a youngish roster forward

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>I don't know how I feel about this one. I got nothing against him. But I don't really want to see him come back if they are using him in a sort of enforcer type role. I'd rather just see him stay retired at that rate.
If he's there just to play hockey, he's kind of slow for today's game. Even 4th lines are getting faster.</div></div>

For that price he's worth it even if he's just your 13th forward. He can still hang as an NHL 4th liner and he brings a lot of playoff experience to a team who as a whole lack a lot of playoff experience.

Thread: What makes a GM bad worse than making bad deals

Bad drafting will hurt you 10× worse than bad trades. You can get all the assets you like from trades, but if you can't turn picks into prospects into meaningful NHL players, then you're never going to get anywhere.

Thread: What If Cherepanov never passed

Zibanejad trade likely still happens. Trade happened because Ottawa wanted cost certainty with Brassard because they were worried about paying Zib. That trade was a home run for New York and there's no way they'd have passed it up.

Thread: Short term solutions OTT TOR

I'd rather see Ho-Sang swapped with a pick. Don't see him working in Ottawa any better than New York given the focus Ottawa puts on having "character" guys. It also puts Ottawa at 50/50 contracts, which was supposedly the reason they didn't put a claim on him when he was on Waivers.

I think Ennis works better with Ryan. Playing Tkachuk with Tierney-Duclair also brings more speed to his line.

Big pass on that contract. Bigger pass on that trade. Tierney is better than Gagner and Abramov is better than Puljujarvi
