Thread: Pain for Shane
I know it's one game but after last night I am liking the Chabot - Thompson pairing. Chabot played with everybody with Zub gone and the Sens rolling 5 D but I thought him and Thompson stood out in a good way when they were on the ice together. Lassi was solid back there, making good decisions. Obviously we're going to have to see more but I thought he played great.

I really want Brannstrom to succeed but he was just kind of meh for me last night and the Boston game wasn't his best. I'd probably swap him and Lassi in your lines. Still give him a chance, he played well down the stretch last year, he just needs to regain his confidence.

As much as I love the idea of Giroux on the Sens, I'm not holding my breath. I would think if he does leave Philly it will be to chase a cup and I don't think the Sens are there just yet. I do agree though, we need a veteran presence up front to calm guys down when things go sideways.

I love giving Paul 4 years, I think he deserves it.

Thread: The Right Side
I don't mind the Tarasenko trade, I'd set a games played condition on the 2nd rounder, becomes a 4th if he doesn't play X number of games (Are you still allowed to do a games played condition on picks in this CBA? I know some conditions are not allowed now, but I'm not sure which ones).

I'm also down with the PK trade. I'm not a huge fan of some of his antics on the ice, but he played his best hockey when he was north of the border and I think he would thrive in a market like Ottawa. He is a community guy, always doing things for fans and local charities, which is awesome, and it seems that qualities like that were once instilled in those who donned the Sens sweater (Alfie, Fish, Spezz, Turris, Duchene).

PK is also a Melnyk type player, $9M cap hit, $2M salary after the signing bonus has been paid and, like him or not, he'll put fans in the stands. He's a rental and I wouldn't anticipate Ottawa to resign him, so the price couldn't be too high but it might have to be a touch higher than that. It would be interesting to see what him and Chabot could do as the top pair.

Thread: get the top line winger and speed up the rebuild
Would love it if Tkachuk signed an 8 year deal.

The Tarasenko deal might be a bit rich. I like the player and what he'd bring to the team but the I'd have to see how his shoulder is holding up before pulling the trigger on a deal for him.

If Chychrun is available, Ottawa should be all over that. I'm not sure Brannstrom is the right player in that deal in regards to where the Yotes are heading but he is a year younger and it would save them $.

For Brown, I would have loved if he could have made it with the Sens, I think he has all the talent in the world but just got unlucky with injuries and utilization when he did get called up. But, it looks like he wants a fresh start and, for him, I think I'd rather swap for a player in a similar situation.
