Thread: Playoffs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMDannyB</b></div><div>Comparing a 2nd pairing defenseman to a 1st line player makes no sense lmao and I’m a big fan of Chychrun I wanted the Flyers to empty the bank to get him. Boucher would be lucky to go in the 4th round of a redraft. Jarventie is nothing extraordinary he wouldn’t even be in our top 5 prospects realistically maybe not even top 10. There’s not a single player he makes the Flyers team over lmao. Brink is right behind Greig that doesn’t mean Brink is the next McDavid.</div></div>


The fact that you called Chychrun a second line defensemen is ludicrous. He may be a top 20 defensemen in the game. Who had one more year on his contract than Konnecy did when he was traded. He also played over 20 minutes a game in Arizona.

That said King of bad takes

Also I wouldn’t redraft Boucher at this point. He’s looked great when he’s played. He’s just gotten injured way to much to make a judgement on.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMDannyB</b></div><div>Lmao a bunch of second rate prospects and a 3rd liner doesn’t even get Laughton let alone TK.

Tk would start with Greig which Ottawa won’t move so there’s no chance TK goes to Ottawa if they decide to trade him.</div></div>

King of bad takes here. Greig currently leads the league in rookie scoring. Over Bedard and Cooley.

Boucher won't be traded until he has a healthy season.

Jarventie would have also made the Sens if they had cap space because he was dynamite in the preseason. He also is a very productive player from the 2020 draft.
He'd be one of the Flyers best prospects instantly and probably be in the NHL on that team.

All for a player that has a year and half left on his contract who is getting a similar return to Chychrun in half developped prospects.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GreatWhiteNorth</b></div><div>That’s not how LTIR works.

Sens don’t get the full cap hit relief of Chabot’s entire season, they get whatever amount he is on IR for. Cap hit are accumulated daily. So if Chabot is on LTIR for 8 weeks, Sens would be allotted to exceed the upper limit but that total amount of 8 weeks salary of Chabot’s contract.

So Chabot makes $41.7K daily, if he’s out 8 weeks that’s a total of 56 days.
$41.7 x 56 = $2,335,200 - that’s the relief that Ottawa will receive, not $8,000,000</div></div>

Doesn’t exactly matter, they get enough to call up players to have a full roster.

If you’re thinking about Pinto he probably signs a one year contract near league minimum at the end of his suspension, goes down to play for Belleville and it does not affect the cap whatsoever. He is also eligible to sign with the Sens past the December 1st deadlines and play in the NHL during the year.

Thread: Maybe
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AG_sweden</b></div><div>Make it a 2nd round pick then. But Sens needs healthy defence men at this point. They need Rd d-men, doesn't need to be Fabbro.</div></div>

There is no point to panic, Brannstromm probably won’t be out for that long, Zub will be back soon. So in that point you’re paying a first and or second to Nashville for Fabbro to play on your bottom pair. That’s not smart asset management, especially if you are diminishing your forward depth in Kubalik, and have Guenette, JBD, Thompson, Kleven, Matinpalo, Larson, and Heatherington who can provide the same time with varying degrees of success.

In summary, this trade makes absolutely no sense for Ottawa, again because they are playing 7 D in Belleville cause they have 7 D that should play. You could also argue that Kleven should be in the NHL anyway. (He and Matinpalo were calaled up today.)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caufield</b></div><div>tbf, MTL was like 4 pts away from a playoff spot on DEC 1 last year, and then injuries started again. If MTL doesn't get this injured this year, they will be super underrated and finish way higher than people though. I still don't think they make the playoffs in any scenario, but they definitely could finish in the high 20s this year</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GuyGuyGuy</b></div><div>With the game yesterday, I’m pretty confident this team can compete for a wildcard spot. Helping our rival won’t be helpful</div></div>

Carolina is a far better team than Toronto, better coached and has better goaltending. Ottawa won the first period and could have won the game if not for Andersen. I didn't see the Montreal and Toronto game but I saw a close score.

However, Ottawa, Buffalo, Florida, Boston, Detroit, and Tampa are all in a similar echelon and I think that with the quality of roster that Montreal is just below that. They might surprise if stuff falls their way but their goaltending would have to be excellent cause Ottawa, Buffalo, Detroit, and even Tampa are going to score a lot and not defend or let in a lot.

Keep in mind that Ottawa was also only 6 pts out of a playoff spot with huge injury trouble last year as well.

I think Montreal will finish last but they won't be a pushover. Similar to Ottawa the last few years, hard team to play, but they lose more often then they win.

Also, important to note this was the first game. If we are truly going of the first game then Edmonton would be trading 97 et al and Vancouver would be the class of the league.

We won't see the good teams till end of November.

Thread: Col - Ott avs get Pinto
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MoxNix</b></div><div>Colorado might be interested in Pinto but not if they have to take on Brannstrom and Joseph to get him.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Novistic</b></div><div>I don't really think we need Pinto. And at the expense of the other two, it's not worth it. I personally don't believe that Pinto is an upgrade over O'Connor either, but I don't really watch sens hockey so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Do the sens really need Girard anyway? The only thing the avs are missing is defensive depth, it makes no sense to get rid of Girard in any situation.</div></div>


This trade really does not make much sense.

Brannstromm is an underatted member of Ottawa's defense and is routinely better than Chabot and Chychrun on some nights.

Joseph is a pretty important member of the forward group.

So, if Ottawa is sending Pinto, Joseph, and Brannstrom. For Girard and other pieces that won't make much of a difference or suit a need. Then there is zero point for this trade.

They have elimanated the problem, with a solution that doesn't benefit (specifically) Ottawa neither Colorado given that Pinto is probably not good enough yet to play 2C on Colorado. He will get there though.

Thread: Please claim him
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>The Sokolov loss isn't hat I was commenting on. He could very easily clear waivers.

Losing 2 x recent first round, RD's for nothing is what I was commenting on. Losing Thopson and JBD within a few days is very bad. Signing a guy like Hamonic is the reason for it.

if I remember correctly, they didn't want to include either guy in the Chychrun trade, because they wanted to keep them. Just to lose them a few months later for nothing. Just odd asset management.

I still like a lot of what Dorion is doing, but these 2 are just strange to me.</div></div>

Low and behold in hindsight, that JBD passed waiver and Thompson ended back up in Ottawa.

I think that there was interest, however the salary cap prevented some teams.

He probably knew that both of them would pass through waivers.

Also with Matinpalo and Guennette they have serious internal competition.
