<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dsully95</b></div><div>They wouldn’t trade a first to take on his contract. It’s just not that bad of a situation, yet. A salary dump generally goes for a second round pick or a higher ceiling prospect. Obviously Murray isn’t the goalie he once was but he is an NHL calibre goalie. The Hawks don’t have much in that department that’s where I thought the fit lied.</div></div>

We don't have that much agree, but the cap and term are too great for us to consider Jerventie an appropriate level of compensation. I think we have the leverage in taking on bad contracts but when I meant a possible inclusion of a 1st I wasn't referring to a straight swap but more we also give up something of interest, perhaps Murphy and go from there.

Thread: Do you agree that they should send them back
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dsully95</b></div><div>I don’t think Ottawa can bring this type of Dman in for the third straight year. It hasn’t worked out twice now. While Boro was great in Ottawa, he and Watson both play great roles for both respective teams.

Watson is an gamer. Blocks shots and plays a great team game. I don’t think he should be traded and I don’t think Boro fits into the defence core in Ottawa anymore</div></div>

I am assuming the Senators are going to try and find a way to dump Zaitsev. Possibly as a moving piece in one of their big acquisitions, or in exchange for a forward who is also overpaid (cap) but might have a more ideal salary structure. I also think Del Zotto is also gone one way or another. No one knows exactly what happened, but it seems like there were issues with him as a fit off the ice. They traded away Brown at the deadline, and they are not qualifying Mete. What do those players have in common? They killed penalties. The Senators might need to bring in or promote someone who can kill penalties on the backend. It depends on if they want to put Sanderson in that spot. As of now, they only have Holden, Hamonic, and Zub.

That is where Borowiecki would be useful. He'd be a 6th-7th type D, who maybe doesn't slot in every game. He can kill penalties. He is cheap salary wise. He played the best hockey of his career under DJ Smith, and he is great in the room.

As far as Watson goes, there is nothing wrong with him, but the Senators are going to look to cut cash any way they can, and while a savings of 600k may sound trivial, every dollar is going to count for the Senators, as it always does. Watson was originally brought in because he was an easy to acquire veteran who played in a way that fit the team's identity, and they didn't want to ice a team of all kids without any mature voices in the room. The key guys like Tkachuk, Norris, Chabot, and Batherson all are a bit more experienced, and swapping Watson for Boro' is 1 veteran out and 1 veteran in. They also may be able to replace Watson's spot on the fourth line internally with someone coming up in Belleville. Parker Kelly, while not as big or as good as Watson, is someone who plays big and could replace him on the fourth line. Every dollar counts.

Thread: Jump starting the rebuild in Vancouver
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>syfygy</b></div><div>I've yet to see any trade idea regarding the Wild approved by a Minnesota fan on this forum. I do agree though that the Wild will need to keep anyone they have on a entry level contract for the next few years to be able to meet the cap limit cause when the Sutter Parise buyout hits they will no longer be able to add to their team except for rookies.</div></div>

The reason you've yet to see it is for one of two reasons. 1) The whack job fans think who think every player/prospect is untouchable are rampant here. 2) The proposals are lunacy.

This is a terrible proposal on MN's behalf and isn't even one of the worst ones we've seen on here recently. Like, how is a team with 12-14+ million in dead space the next three years going to take on two players making ~13+ million while giving up an ELC and a sub-2 million dollar absolute bargain? There's just no way a bunch of things on here make sense, so that is why you don't get many (if any) MN fans agreeing with trades on here. Come up with something that makes sense for a team entering cap hell and maybe they would agree with it. (Not telling YOU personally to come up with something, just in general)
