Thread: Another step forward
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BillytheKid3</b></div><div>Pinto seems to be getting better every game he plays in the NHL. I don’t know where his ceiling is but I feel like they ride it out for a while even though this deal is tempting. The question is whether they feel like he can out compete Norris for 2C and take less money.

Ultimately the Sens go Stutzle-Pinto-Grieg/Ostapchuk (one moves to wing) at C for now. Norris becomes the piece to move.</div></div>

Yeah Pintos game is already more complete than Norris, you can tell watching them both that Pinto is a much smarter player. Im hoping Norris can make a full recovery but still think Pinto will beat him out for that 2C spot, he just plays a much better overall well rounded game. Would be interesting to see Norris on the wing, still think there's a spot for him on this team if he can just stay healthy.

Thread: Cup Contender
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NDoody</b></div><div>Garland - 4 more years at 4.9
Konecny - 3 more years at 5.5

Both would be great on the wing with Stuzle or the Norris - Brady line moving Batherson with Stuzle.
I would much rather give up assets like JDB, Thompson, Lodin, Järventie, and 2023 1st to get one of them instead.</div></div>

I don't like Konecny too much but Garland would be a really good fit, not sure if Vancouver moves him since he's on a pretty nice contract but if they did they would probably ask for one of JBD/Thomson in return. I really don't want to move either one of them because when staying under the salary cap becomes a concern they will be really important, I can see both of them playing top four minutes with Sanderson and Chabot as their partners especially if Zub decides to test free agency next year and we're forced to let him go (My worst nightmare).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NDoody</b></div><div>I like the Montour move he could be a good pairing with Sanderson, although I hope eventually this year we get to see a Sanderson - Brannstrom pairing because I think they would play off each other great.

I am not a huge fan of moving for Fiala, especially with the 7th this year, when there will be a great winger available at that spot. I just don't think even at 6 years the contract is going to age well and will cause issues when you also need the cap space to sign Stuzle and Sanderson long term, with the Norris contract.

Puljujärvi I would take a gamble on that he could work out as a good top 6 winger to play with Stuzle long term, I don't know if I would go 4 years, however, that would be a very tradable contract if needed.</div></div>

Yesss I was thinking a Brannstrom-Sanderson pairing would be great too since they can both play right/left but for some reason I don't think DJ likes playing defenceman on their off side I rarely saw Brannstrom playing the right this year.

Keeping the pick is definitely a good option but this team needs to start getting some playoff reps and whoever they draft at 7 probably wont be making an impact for another two years, can't be rebuilding forever. For cap space if the team is willing to spend to the cap ceiling I don't think it should be a problem to resign Stutzle, Pinto, and Sanderson with Fialas contract this team has some very manageable contracts.
