Thread: Time for Hughes to strike
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>I don't think he can bring back an established top line player at this time. He is very far from having that perceived value.

I wonder if there is a deal the Habs can do to get him though. Maybe a deal involving Harris and a future prospect like Mesar or Farrell. Someone who definitely has an NHL future.

What do you all think. What is a deal that is an overpayment today but is not completely a fire-able offense for a GM if he doesn't work out (you all know he's a risk).</div></div>

With his combination of size and skill, I doubt Detroit trades him. But IF they did I’d imagine it’d be a package of Soderblom and picks for a top line guy.

Soderblom definitely has the opportunity to earn a top 6 spot but i see him settling in on the 3rd line(maybe 2nd) in a couple of years while getting PP1 time.

Thread: Yzerplan
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DeadWingsv2</b></div><div>No he won't and no it wasn't. With the market that was available, warts and all, Chiarot is *fine*.

People MASSIVELY overreact to his contract and act like it was 8x10. Realistically, it should have been 1m less per and 1 year less. Is it ideal? No, not by any means, but it's fine.

He still adds some badly needed heaviness on the back end, can skate well and has some sneaky offensive ability. He just needs to be insulated by a stay at home partner, that can read when he goes roaming. After the deadline last season when he was paired with Maata, he was pretty good actually and that was when he was flipped around to his off hand.

Don't get me wrong. I'd like him replaced, but not at the cost of paying to move him. It just doesn't make any sense.</div></div>

Personally, I like the idea of a Chiarot-Holl 3rd pair

Thread: Ok Ottawa lets here it
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mike7856</b></div><div>Deal wise, it’s pretty much in line with what I’d think we’d get. Thought we’d maybe get a better prospect/young player but with the deal Debrincat signed, looks like he only had 1 place he wanted to sign and that was Detroit so makes sense yzerman wouldn’t budge on Berggren. Didn’t think we’d get Kasper or Edvinsson (anyone suggesting Seider or Raymond is ridiculous). All in all, not great, not terrible just kind of a meh return. If Ottawa can sign Tarasenko or Tatar now I’d feel better heading into next year!</div></div>

Agreed that most Sens fans didn’t say it would be Seider or Raymond, but those few were annoying(kind of how this post is annoying so apologies there).
