Thread: If it happens maybe it could go this way
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TJTwolf</b></div><div>If I were Sakic I'd be more likely to offer maybe Kerfoot plus COL 1st (Maybe even Kaut plus COL 1st if the Sens are looking for potential for the future) for Stone. Kerfoot is a little more proven points-wise, had good chemistry with Duchene before Duchene got traded to OTT, and even though he maybe doesn't have the potential ceiling that Jost has would be a more sensible offer for a pending UFA. Ottawa gets a first round pick back, and a guy who can put up points with chemistry with their top centre, and removes a potential headache. The first is an improvement on the second whilst Kerfoot's potential ceiling is lower than Jost's but production so far is higher. It would also help Colorado in that it means they still keep a first round pick and it's Ottawa's pick which is probably going to be higher than Colorado's own, and clears a spot for the likes of Kaut, Kamenev or Shvyryov.</div></div>

with how bad the sens are going to be there is no way they get that pick back. Hughes will be better than Jost if they manage to win the lottery and him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bluetomorrow83</b></div><div>They have enough to sign Nurse currently. Next offseason will be the year of shedding Sekera and Russell NMC are modified and Lucic gets 1 last big bonus on July 1 then is a 3-4M a year actual dollar contract. There can be a ton of free space after next year so they won't be giving away a lot to shed dumps</div></div>

so if all things stay stays Quo this year.
Next year Lucic is still a 6m cap hit regardless of actual dollars, then you have to see if you can get one of the 10 and 15 teams they chose to actually want to take them and have the cap space to do the trade and then still need to sign Puljujarvi and sign at least 1 goalie as you might have a rookie ready to be a back up or sign a cheap back up and a starter.

Also assuming they let the other 4 roster RFAs walk or give them no pay raise.

I think your outlook of a ton of cap space is not very accurate and if someone was willing to pick up Lucic they would jump at the chance. Your team with a good goalie is a contender.

Thread: take a chance and trade at deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>skriko</b></div><div>you dont understand hockey do yah ??,,, anybody that has ever played knows you make the playoffs at all cost</div></div>

i agree the players might think that way but players don't make management/future decisions for the team. Patch is going to be gone before the season or in a worst case scenario the deadline so we don't lose him for nothing, Hudon has potential and Ryan has nothing. The only way Ryan should come here is with picks as a cap dump from Ottawa that might help them and another team get a trade for Karlsson done. We will be looking at the standings from the bottom so there will be no need for a push for the playoffs. I think GOLDENDELICIOS has a good understanding of this.
