Thread: Sens and Canes
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mike7856</b></div><div>Personally don’t think Ottawa would want Saad. Think they want a 2019 first rounder for Hoff. And I disagree with your assessment on Duchene. Feel he’s worth more then a probable mid 1st and late 2nd. Top Centers are valued throughout the league</div></div>

Hoff isn’t getting a 1st rounder unless it’s a late one, and Saad is worth slightly more then Hoff right now.

Duchess is not a 1C and he’s not the caliber of ROR. I don’t understand why Ottawa fans think he’s all that. He’s good but now tier A talent, more like a A- talent. A first and second rounder is enough, if not Ottawa wastes another year and he walks because of all the issues they are having and Sens end up with nothing.

Between Karlsson, Hoff and Duchene; Sens can pick up 3 more 1st round picks in a deep draft and rebuild quickly.

Thread: SMART Realistic MOVES
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Because there's not a chance Hawks take on that contract, nor do they need him at this point. Sikura is taking the #3RW.</div></div>

Totally, Chicago was just thrown in there as an example, Hense why I made sure to state that it could be any other team. Basically I just don't see shaw in MTL's picture any more.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SammyT_51</b></div><div>My thinking in that deal would be that Perreault is taking much more of a cap space than 2.5mil Shaw. They could let their younger guys play higher and developing them right in the game (Vesalainen, Roslovic) with veterans while Perreault would provide neccesity for MTL at C. And he is french-canadien! :D Shaw on the other hand is great playoff performer and he might really be that one piece which would take WPG to another level.</div></div>

I agree, I'd love to see perreault for sure. At the end of the day, I've just been seeing lots of unrealistic trades out here, and Although all the talk is around Tavares, I still think that even with Tavares's acquisition , MTL would need one more center. So yea, I'd be happy with perreault or any other decent Center we could score a deal with for sure.

Thread: Rebuilding because the team is a mess
This is truly an awful team of expensive players with some strengths, but not the same ones, and not put together in any coherent order. But starting off by Hoffman and a late first round pick to get back Orrawa's first means that gets them draft position twice, instead of just once, so it seems legit. Ten first round picks over two years would be a great haul for a team that isn't clicking, and they should be really, really good in six years.

But Ottawa also has to sell tickets within the next six years to stay in Kannata. Their owner is retired on some Island and, from the interviews he gives, cares less and less about the team. He has publicly complained about writing checks for a team that oses games and money. I can only imagine what that does to the players' morale, and he should really stop giving interviews, except online, ghostwritten ones, where some constantly smiling optimist like Joel Osteen answers for him. But on topic, the above roster is a sure bet to move out of the Ottawa area entirely, by the time it's any good. They'll be great in Portland, though, just about the same time the arena gets built. But you'll have been long since canned as imaginary GM. Sorry, dude.

Thread: Staying competitive/ draft moving
Kovi will go to a team that has a chance. If he really was going to take a chance and go to a bad team so he could pick a team at the deadline, its too ballsy.. Here are the reasons why he cant take that risk... 1) does the non-competitive team he picks have the pieces to still make him a successful player? your only as good as the guys around you... 2) what happens when you get to the deadline and the 6 teams he picks dont have CAP space? 3) is Detroit willing to move him and retain salary OR accept a bad contract in return... example, Tampa wants Kovi, Detroit takes what? A first round pick from a playoff team (22-26 overall) and Ryan Callahan's contract to make room? Detroit wouldnt do that.. which leaves Kovalchuk in Detroit and golfing during the playoffs.
