Thread: Trying to be realistic here
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy316</b></div><div>i think it would take improving their team to do it and this deal doesnt do that today .


Gallagher ,Petry ,Kulak ,2nd and a 3rd for Chabot and Ryan
this would give them depth on their RW with Stone and Gallagher both capable of hitting 30 goals , Petry to sure up your RD and add PP Production , Kulak to give you a LD with NHL experience and two picks .

Chabot's a legit LD and barring injuries piling up on him has a long career ahead of him so you'll need not only a big name player but likely two as by trading Chabot OTT is committing to a full rebuild which will set them back a year or two .</div></div>

That package still isn't worth giving up Chabot. Barring injuries, as you said, he's going to be a long-time NHLer and very likely be an eventual Norris candidate. Petry would be a nice piece to have to play <strong>with</strong> Chabot, not someone to get back for him.

Gallagher also isn't that great. It helps us now, but we don't need that kind of help now. We have a ridiculous amount of middle &amp; bottom 6 forwards ready in the next couple of seasons and a literal log-jam at centre.

Kulak as a LD with <em>experience</em> is entirely unnecessary. We have Boro as a gritty vet on the left, with young puck-movers in Chabot &amp; Lajoie, Wolanin too if you want to count him as well.
<strong>tl;dr ...It's not worth it to give up Chabot for anything right now. He's one of the pieces we're building around in this rebuild.</strong>

Thread: RIP JP and Yams
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bluetomorrow83</b></div><div>RIP would be leaving them in pressbox this is chance to play. NJD just did same thing with struggling Zacha, he got 3 points in first 2 games down</div></div>

Right, they should both be locks for the first line in the minors, maybe even Yamamoto gets some time at center. They both probably should have started in the AHL though, more so Puljujarvi. He looks like he's been really struggling recently. (not 100%, obviously don't watch all your games)
Yamamoto looks too good to be held down for long, I reckon he'll rip it up in the minors and be called on in a couple of weeks or next season at the very latest. I'm a bit worried about Puljujarvi though, if these AGMs are <em>anything</em> to go by with nearly every Edmonton trade involving Puljujarvi.

Thread: Vigneault new GM
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jpozz1996</b></div><div>Tanev &gt;&gt; Ceci; Gagner still has potential as a 3rd liner for sure I do not know why Benning sent him down. And ya essentially Formenton cause of Ryan. However, I think with Tkachuk and the overload of young centres, Formenton can be worth getting rid off because I do not think he's ever going to be more than a 3rd line LW. Tanev is still young and likely would resign in OTT long term and provide stability on the right side...Anderson seems to be a better win now option than Allen who is S T R U G G L I N G in STL. If STL gets a stable goalie situation within the next 3 years (likely all that Anderson has left) then STL might be willing to pull trigger. In regards to the Boston trade, Acciari is no more than a Czarnik, and Donato could be a good 2/3 liner where as Dzingel is a bonafide 40 point guy on a week RW in BOS.</div></div>

I think Andy is struggling just as much, he looked good before the Tampa and Buffalo games, but he's the third oldest goalie in the league at 37. Allen's 27(?). He's rock solid when the defence doesn't defecate all over the ice, but I don't think he can keep doing 60 games a season for the next 3 years until he's 40. I think he'd be a fantastic backup <strong>to</strong> Allen if he can find his game and take on most of the workload. I also disagree with the Formenton trade because we don't exactly have a need for Gagner as a 3C (Duchene - Tierney - Pageau/Smith/White) and we could package Formenton with another asset and potentially pick up someone better than Tanev. (Seriously, Vancouver needs him more than we do.)

Thanks for the evaluation, btw. I know nothing of Donato and Acciari, I've only heard about them (probably from Boston fans) that they were future Top6 guys in the next couple of years. Dzingel would absolutely put up 40-50+ points with Krejci and DeBrusk.

Thread: Lines Id run based on yesterday
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claesson4Norris</b></div><div>I got really excited after the Ceci goal, but mostly because of all the nonsense before it. Sens totally for screwed on that goal, too. There were two penalties called, and they both got wiped after the goal.
With the way the PP was going you have to wonder if it would have been a difference maker.</div></div>

PP looked really good that game, and all season so far actually. Because it's not just "Throw it to Erik at the point and he sends it to Hoffman for a 1T". We have Stone and Ryan in a 1T position, Dzingel, Duchene &amp; Boedker cycling down low. Good ol' Chabot at the point and sneaky Lajoie jumping into the slot. Things are looking good despite the lack of a 1st rounder and pending UFAs and only having Andy as a reliable starter. :-/

Thread: Formenton Heading Back to London
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claesson4Norris</b></div><div>I'd go Batherson over Balcers. He's been the more impressive of the two, and we have way more options on the left side than the right.

McKenna should Start on Saturday. Andy deserves a break. Hopefully McKenna can at least hold his own, so Andy doesn't have to do everything. We need a backup who can be trusted with more than one start in a month.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wardbell92</b></div><div>Love they are taking the proper approach and sending him back to London. Would love to see both Balcers and Batherson brought up to play and make McCormik/Pyatt/Paajarvi the healthy scratch until the Senes get a bit more healthy,

Also happy to see Burdgoerfer up in the NHL for the strict purpose of him being in the press box rather than a guy like Wolanin or Wideman.

Don't want the sens to waste any sort of draft capital or god forbid money on another back-up unless its McIhaney for like a 7th or something. Allow Anderson to play until he falls apart and hope that Condon rebounds or McKenna/Hogberg/Gustavson can take over as back-up. Would rather Gustavson play in the minors this year than expose him to our young D this year though.</div></div>

Andy starts vs Buffalo and Burgdoerfer is the 7th D in our 11-7. Here's to hopefully not getting blown out! :cheers

The lone problem with the team right now, aside from our young defence making some mistakes, but that's excusable. I hope if Condon doesn't immediately shine in the AHL / get called back in a couple of weeks, we look for outside options. Make a trade with teams that have 'extra' goalies like Philly or god-forbid Colorado. I'd even give Steve Mason or Kari Lehtonen a couple of mill for the year to see how things turn out. They surely can't be worse than Condon so far. But, If I might be so bold to say we should take the plunge and send some assets to Columbus for Bobrovsky since most are convinced that both him and Panarin are leaving as UFAs.
