Thread: If OTT wants a goalie
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mittens</b></div><div>Ottawa fan here:

I think that swayman trade is fair value, but I don't think Ottawa would do it. Dorion called Pinto untouchable and refused to include him in trade talks for chychrun. If i were Dorion, I'd offer boston basically what you have (the 2nd round pick, decent prospect, plus another asset), but i would also threaten that if they don't accept the deal, i'll just offer sheet swayman with a 4.2 million AAV (i dont think boston can match it givent their cap situation), in which case ottawa would only have to give boston the 2nd round pick.

Nice team!</div></div>

I think that trade favours BOS quite a bit. Pinto for Sway seems more reasonable, but adding a good prospect and a 2nd makes it more one sided IMO. Alhtough BOS just got Mitchell, Walsh, and Regula yesterday so i doubt they go after more RHD depth rn. As a Bruins fan Id be hesitiant to deal Sway within the div, much rather move Ullmark. But id still probably take that offer, maybe swap JBD for Ostapchuk? or someone similar. Doubt OTT or BOS does it tho

Thread: Veteran 1C and a couple defensemen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mittens</b></div><div>So they'll expose one of Eriksson Ek, Fiala, Or Greenway.</div></div>

Greenway....

Eriksson-Ek and Fiala are easily protected over him. Considering one's our best center and the other our second best winger. Greenway for as much as I like him and how much he's grown this year is still just at the end of the day just another middle sixer. Dumba is a top pairing RHS OFD, at least he would be on most teams in the NHL, he's more valuable than Greenway any way you slice it, and you don't just hand those types of defenseman over for free to SEA.

To be clear, I'm not arguing the value of your trade. It's a good return, even if I'm not thrilled with it only being a 2nd, Brännström offsets that and is a really solid prospect that would make for a good Suter replacement. It's fair, even though I think the ask would be likely for Pinto back in return instead.

I'm just disputing the notion we can't go 4x4-1 and protect Dumba. Because we can.

Thread: Pettersson Offer Sheet
This is pretty solid. The Tkachuk deal is a bit of a weird one but if you're at all concerned by the lack of GROWTH in his game then I understand the bridge deal. The real issue is that most see him as the future Captain. Hard to make someone captain with a 3 year deal. The 3 year deal also leaves him just ONE season away from UFA and he has arbitration rights... so if Ottawa pooches the extension offer, and Brady ends up with a one year deal through arbitration, there's a chance you end up having to trade him at that deadline. But again, if you feel an 8X $8.5M offer is also a big risk... I understand the bridge deal.
Love the Bishop signing; he showed WAY MORE promise than Amadio. I also like it because I have little faith in Logan Brown suddenly remaining healthy and I'm generally concerned that the pace of his game isn't going to work at the NHL level.
