That's fair. It's around what he's worth TBH. Not going to get a whole lot for him, if anything.

Thread: Ottawa gets Rakell

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claesson4Norris</b></div><div>Idk I think the way you improve the top six is by giving Stützle and Batherson an expanded role with a capable C. They've been two of Ottawa's best players and they've been playing with Stepan and Anisimov as their centre. I don't think an RW for the top six is a needed addition short term when they have Dadonov and Batherson. Connor Brown is a great 3RW.</div></div>

His trade is better suited to the 3rd-4th lines though. Him with Dzingel and Tierney on the 4th line will be nice. Great speed, great defensive instinct, no hands. That, and our powerplay is garbage. Rakell adds a little bit more skill on that 2nd PP unit.

Pinto is going to take over that duty as capable C for them, hopefully. Puck possession is key for those two and it'll be easier when Pinto can win those much needed O-zone faceoffs.

Thread: Ottawa gets Rakell

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claesson4Norris</b></div><div>I don't really get this for Ottawa. They already have a solid top 3 RW in Batherson, Dadonov and C.Brown. this isn't the kind of move Ottawa needs to be making. Rackell isn't the player he used to be, he's not changing what this team is. He's just a nice complimentary piece.</div></div>

I'd rather have Rakell to push the Offense a little and push C. Brown down the lineup. As much as I like him. He doesn't have the hands to be in the top 6. Slot Rakell in the top 6 and it makes the Norris-Tkachuk line a little bit more skilled. All of a sudden, you have three lines that are decent that compete and a 4th line, albeit expensive, that can really grind it out and can put the puck in the net.

This trade, as it stands, is fine. There is no room for Johnny and the two picks are fine as the draft this year is strange.

Thread: Montour and Tierney

I'd like to think that Ottawa has plans for Formenton due to his upside. That and Ottawa has no plans to trade their prospects at this point unless its for a top 6 forward or a top shutdown RHD that can play with Chabot.

Tierney is moveable.

Lots of questionable moves. Pro-scouting is not Dorion's forte.

Also, happy anniversary of the Phaneuf trade!

Thread: Need a 3c

Ottawa has a plethora of other available options for the right price. Tierney is probably the best option for you guys. Safest player in the lineup for Ottawa.

That being said, I doubt he'll be available when Stepan gets moved later on down the road. Once Stepan gets moved, Tierney becomes the automatic 3C. Would you want a slightly used Artem Anisimov for a bag of pucks?

Thread: Brown Time

Make or break, you think? Who do you move out and who do you move down? I imagine Brown won't be well suited for 4th line duty unless D.J. changes his style and balances all 4 lines with offense.

Our depth chart is all out of whack if he's on our second pair. It also doesn't help when we have a monster in Chabot hogging 30 minutes of ice-time.

Thread: Ottawa Senators

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>Yeah graves will be gone and that’s ok, like you said can’t save everyone.

But just Stepan doesn’t have that sort of return in a trade, especially the avs who really value analytic assessments, so far this season Stepan has been a pretty much a drag on the teams production when he is on the ice. Unless he elevates his game, he’s actively the teams shot differentials anytime he is on the ice, not a good sign</div></div>

That sounds like whenever Reilly steps on the ice for us as well... :(

Thread: Ottawa Senators

Trying to trade Reilly before people realize he's really bad, eh?

I think this trade heavily favors the senators. The redundancy of Graves in the Avs lineup thanks to D. Toews makes him a cap casualty but at the same time, they'd be selling at a loss if they made this move. Stepan is nowhere near as an effective bottom line forward as PEB and Reilly alone has negative value. I'd think they'd want Wolanin over Reilly in a counter offer.

Thread: Vince Dunn

That's... eh. Look, i think anything that involves Reilly at this point is negative value. I think both players need a change of scenery so, on paper, it looks okay.

Thread: dj you need to score goals to win so play the guys that can score goals

I couldn't last night. I turned it off after the shorty. Just brutal from end to end. Murray needs to make some saves but there seems to be no... organization(?) I guess, in the D zone. No outlet pass, no speed and no sense of what to do once the cycle starts. Anisimov needs to not play again and Stepan needs to win some draws. If we can't skate, at least we can have possession from time to time. Once we lose the draw it's a crap shoot.

It's a good thing we have two young capable D on the taxi squad that can sakte and have a good outlet pass in Brann and Jaros... oh wait. Zub and Aspirot will have to do? Like, what?
