Thread: Lous Hockey Trades

I don't think it's unreasonable and it seems like a pretty Pierre Dorion thing to do. Bailey's contract shouldn't be an issue since it'll be up by the time the Sens are getting into more of a cap crunch, but I think it only makes sense of Connor Brown gets moved in the offseason, or some other spot otherwise opens up on the 3rd line. Dorion has said he's specifically looking for a young, bonafide top 6 winger with team control, which Bailey doesn't fit anymore, and 2/3 of the 3rd line is pretty locked in between Formenton, Pinto and Connor Brown. Dorion likes Branny but isn't dumb enough to not know the deal with him, I could see something like this happening for sure. I think most Sens fans would rather just see them either hold onto Branny or add him as a sweetener in a package for a bigger fish, but this is pretty reasonable and realistic.

Thread: Predictions
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>32 years old, 0.59 ppg at 5M per year with 2 more years. Not many teams are touching that deal. Arizona might take him for dirt cheap just cause he only makes 3.5M in actual salary. I wouldn't say he's a real bad player just no one is going to pay much if anything for him. Most teams have younger cheaper players they would rather play or if they want a veteran leader they can sign someone for alot cheaper in free agency. Not like every "legitimate" writer is always right. But hey maybe the islanders do get extremely lucky and get to trade him for something, never know.</div></div>

Evgeni Dadonov is basically the same age as Josh Bailey (7 months older to be precise), had the exact same term left (2x$5M, except he was to be paid $11.5M in salary over those 2 years), and he brought back a 3rd round pick and a roster player after a season where he was objectively worse than Bailey was (13-7-20 in 55 GP). There's recent precedent for a decent return for an older, middle-6, offensive minded forward.
