Thread: Ohhh Go Sens

I get the idea of putting Giroux on L3 to try and spread the wealth offensively, but in my opinion, Giroux is too good a playmaker for Ottawa not to start the season with him and Norris together. Norris is a lethal shooter, and they both take care of things defensively really well. It just seems such a natural fit to have them together. Personally I'd see Ottawa target Tatar over Tarasenko too, to fill out that line. Not a top end point producer, but he drives play for his team on both sides of the puck really well. Tatar-Norris-Giroux gives Ottawa a dangerous 2nd line offensively that you can put out against any line in a defensive assignment too, and it let's you skew the Tkachuk-Stützle line more offensively which would benefit them. Tatar is also almost certainly cheaper too.

Thread: Debrincat Trade

a pretty easy rule to abide by is that if the fans of the division rival on one side of the trade all are incredibly eager and excited at the idea of this trade, then it’s not one Ottawa would want to make

This is probably his market value. But there’s no way Ottawa moves him to a division rival for this price

Couple of options.

Maybe like a hockey trade of Chabot for Kyrou.

If it's a futures package Scandella is probably going to have to go the other way, he's the only one without a full NTC, but still it's hard in a deal with Ottawa being a Canadian team. Would doubt Leddy or Krug would waive to go to Canada.

Maybe a hockey trade of Faulk/Parayko, but then again, that may hurt us more than it helps.

That would be cap circumvention. He wouldn't be able to go back to DAL for at least one year from the date of the trade.

I mean I like Debrincat, I think he's better then Debrusk. It's just that Debrincat is gonna end up making like 2x as much as Debrusk next season and I don't think he's <em>THAT</em> much better.

Like I've been saying from the start Hanas, Kubalik and 2023 1st (NYI). Kubalik steps in right away and Hanas is ranked 7th in Detroit's system and he projects as a middle 6 forward. While you're probably not going to get a superstar with the 17th pick but a top 6 forward is very likely.

Thread: Offseason

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JuanDamienNebraska</b></div><div>No. Pens decline.</div></div>

Why DF would we decline that??? We move down 17 spots, add an early 3rd, 2 4ths and a Good prospect in Kapanen which is worth a mid-high 2nd. This is a deep draft and we can still get a very good prospect at 31-32 while adding many lost draft picks and a solid prospect in Kapanen and take a shot on Norlinder.
Pens Should 100% trade down from 14 as we need quantity over quality and the quality ain't that different from 14 to 31-32 and this is a solid offer.

I really don't think they should add more sports to CapFriendly, they can just post that stuff in 'the box'. Also there are other sites for that too so i really think it should stay just a hockey site.

I just think for Ottawa's financial outlook it's not viable. Especially when they have a 3C already who definitely won't be getting that much this summer.

Thread: Next Year

I feel like MTL has no need for Laf when they already have Slaf who needs to develop. A Slaf for Laf trade makes some sense though.

Slaf is still on an ELC for 2 years, unlike Laf who needs a new deal which will carry a higher cap hit so the Rangers would likely prefer Slaf over Laf. The habs would only want Laf over Slaf if Gorton is more confident in Laf as a prospect than Slaf, which may not be the case because Laf has 3 NHL seasons while Slaf has untapped potential. So the habs would probably rather just keep Slaf instead of trade for Laf. Not to mention if the habs really wanted Laf they could just offersheet him and give up much less than Slaf.

I hope everyone has as much fun reading that as I did writing it.

Can't see the Hawks taking a 2nd and a 5th this off season. That's not an overpay. Hawks just hold on to him and see what he brings at the TDL.

Thread: sens renovations just messing around

Hawks decline. TRad is one of their two remaining legit trade chips (Murphy). Hawks would be open to trading him for the right sort of package. This isn't it. The value is more than fair, but the Hawks want early picks or young prospects. Nothing in the proposed package does anything to move their rebuild along unless the Hawks do a boatload more work to find trade partners for those 3 players. They'll have no problem reaching the cap floor by signing one or two UFA's and acquiring one or two bad contracts.

Not bad, but I would take 2 two-way forwards instead (like Nick Paul and Connor Brown for example)

Or a 2 way-forward and a goalie (like Filip Gustavsson for example)

Per Verbeek,

"I'm not considering moving John Gibson," Verbeek said flatly. "I've actually sat down and had a conversation with him about this. We have an excellent number one goaltender. The hardest thing in the NHL is finding a number one goaltender and I can speak from experience on this, because when we were in Tampa, we did not have a number one goaltender and we gave up numerous assets trying to chase one.
