Thread: Bye Cat - Sign and Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MLevy613</b></div><div>I've watched Sokolov closely both in Belleville and his games in Ottawa. His skating has not improved very much. He was not impactful at all in his stint with Ottawa, and that is primarily due to his lack of sense in the defensive and neutral zones. In the offensive zone, at the AHL level, he has a nose for the net, and wants to be in tight and get those chances. At the NHL level, he was far too much of a perimeter player in the offensive zone, almost afraid to get in dirty.</div></div>

I liked his short callup at the end of this last year. He just needs to relax and play the way he can. But maybe he'll never get to that point. The bottom of the lineup needs to improve but it's definitely up for debate and adjustment.

Thread: Ummm-just trying stuff out
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>If you trade Cat, should look for a pick around 15 + a B level prospect or 2nd round pick.

I feel like Thomson + 2nd can return someone better. I also don’t want the Sens to spend anymore money on D, need to improve the depth up front.

You also overpaid Pacioretty. He probably gets 2-3 mill on 1 year deal + potential bonuses</div></div>

That's all fair. 1. It's hard to match all those things with a team that can afford him and staying away from teams in the Atlantic, which I think the Sens should do.

2. It's certainly possible and I think JBD would be fine as the 6th D, but I could see PD wanting another more established D and I don't want Hamonic back. Love the guy as a person, but I don't think he's keeping up that well anymore.

3. If Pacioretty would sign for 2-3 mil that would be great and I'd definitely do that. I thought I saw a 5mil projection on The Athletic, but now I'm realizing that maybe I read the wrong line. On my phone, the numbers are too small.
