Stamkos, Lyubushkin, and Edmundson definitely don't sign for those amounts. Samsonov might sign for that on a 2-3 year deal unlikely for 5 years. He's not going to forego years of UFA for that amount.

This is a guy who has been to the Stanley Cup Conference Finals twice, and produced both years. Ottawa's issues defensively isn't as much personnel as it is coaching. We do need to bring in 1-2 guys solid on the PK. We don't have enough grit on defense, I agree there, but Kleven comes in for Brannstrom, and bring a guy like Tanev
Chabot - Karlsson
Sanderson - Tanev
Kleven - Zub
That would be a solid a defense corpse if you have a coach that knows how to institute structure. Ottawa doesn't need a coach that is full on defense, because Ottawa is a team that isn't built to win that way. We need to be a puck control team that has structure, and strong special teams. Gallant, Quennville, Boudreau, McLellan would be solid coaching selections.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xspyrit</b></div><div>7th OA pick + 39th OA + 3rd round pick for Boston's 1st (currently 28th OA) and a 4th (Kubalik and Sebrango have ZERO value)
How was this not a disaster? Pretty much every Sens fan think it is, except a few Dorion die hard fans still in denial.
The problem with DeMelo was not acquiring him, it was to trade him stupidly for a 3rd round pick when we could use him up to this day... Dorion basically chose Nikita Zaitsev over him
And Duchene... I mean, we paid a 4th OA pick + Turris (look what he returned) + recent 1st round pick (Bowers) + 3rd to get him. All we have left now is Lassi Thomson
Stone... all we have left is Erik Brannstrom (I like him but you need to get A LOT more than that for a franchise player like Stone)
Murray when acquired was already the most injury prone player in the NHL. Not only that, the contract Dorion gave him was absolutely horrendous and ended up costing a 3rd + 7th to dump 75% of the final 2 years
Nothing wrong in taking risks (I play with Crypto) but problem is that Dorion nearly bats for ZERO when he takes risks.
Dj Smith was not the main issue, he was one of MANY Dorion issues.</div></div>
No It's not the disaster it was because if you're going to win in this league you have to take chances. The real issue is that the team hasn't progressed the way it was supposed to. This team does not have a talent issue. Our issues are coaching. I don't care what moves you make? When you rank 26th or worse on both special teams? You cannot win in this league. To start the year Ottawa was surrendering 28 high danger chances a game!! That is coaching!!
As for Demelo? I liked Demelo and like you would've preferred to have kept him. Unfortunately you don't seem to understand the definition of hindsight? When he was traded we had defenseman like JBD, Brannstrom, Englund, and Jaros in the pipeline who many believed had good upside. BUT AGAIN!!! Under DJ Smith not one single defenseman in the organization progressed. Under DJ Smith's reign not one single defenseman ever became better than they were. That is coaching. Had we made the playoffs? Maybe had some success? DeBrincat likely stays making that trade not so bad. He brought in a solid 1st line talent to play on our 2nd line!! To do this he didn't give up any of our prospects or young roster players. That is how you build a team. Had Ottawa finsihed 13th - 15th overall that trade woyuld've been great, DeBrincat would've been a piece that moved things in the right direction. But coaching has absolutely killed this team. They played pond hockey for 4 years, now Martin has to come oin and coach out 4 years of pathetic coaching to get these young guys playing in a structured environment. The coaching was Dorion's biggest mistake because had he huired Martin 4 years ago instead of Smith, the team is wiinning and the moves that were made would be way more valuable. But we kept Smith for too long and this is the result.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sens65</b></div><div>Yeah, especially because Karlsson doesn't fit what Ottawa needs at all.</div></div>
I disagree in terms of what Ottawa needs... No team wins the cup without an elite puck moving defenseman. Chabot is the closest thing we have to a 2-way defenseman and I don't think he's quite good enough.
These teams do not win the cup without these players;
VEGAS; Pietrangelo & Theodore
TB; Hedman & Sergachev
COL; Makar, Toews
Blues; Pietrangelo...
Ottawa doesn't have a defenseman with this type of Pedigree. Chabot is decent but not quite there. Sanderson is solid defensively but offense doesn't come naturally to him. Karlsson gives the team that element, but would depend on the cost and the cap hit. Ottawa won't be giving up any 1st rounders, especially a top 10 pick in this draft... Plus likely doesn't take on the $10M left on his 3 years. But if Pittsburgh eats $3M? The cost was a 2nd rounder - and a solid prospect? (Boucher, Guenette, Ostapchuk)... I could see Ottawa chancing this. Personally I wouldn't.... But I can see Ottawa going that route especially with Alfy becoming more entrenched in the franchise again.

Ottawa laughs at that trade. Ottawa is looking for more players like Giroux.... We aren't going to give him up. Not to mention if Ottawa is a seller at the Trade deadline he would bring back Ottawa an absolute fortune. Ottawa might take Karlsson back but Pittsburgh will have to retain money, add a sweetener. Karlsson having a NMC limits the places he'd be willing to go.

DeBrincat wasn't a disaster, him leaving aftyer one season. If you're going to be a GM that win? You have to take chances. No GM plays it completely safe and wins. Murray made sense, he was the best goaltender on the market at the time, and was a 2-time Stanley Cup Champ. Stone & Duchene wanted to leave, and Duchene acquisition was to support a group that had gone to the Conference Finals the year before. Again, that's a move you make if you think it's a piece thqat gets you over the hump. DeMelo acquiring him was an issue? He was pretty good when he got here.
Most of these are only issues because the main issue (DJ Smith) made them issues.

Guessing you're not getting it..... You can make 10 great trades out of 10.... if your coaching stinks makes everything else look terrible. Not saying he was great, buty he wasn't a disaster either.

Read these articles and you might not think of my assessment as being that fsar fetched. He's among the least productive $8M players in the league. THE ONLY reason I'd consider P-L Dubois is because Norris needs a change of scenery and no one will give Ottawa the value they will need for him. L.A. is in the same boat. Best hope for both teams is to take on someone else's issue player for theirs and hope they can turn it around. If Norris didn't just have shoulder surgery? Not a chance if I'm Ottawa do I trade Norris for P-L Dubois, not without L.A. adding some major serious sweeteners.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xspyrit</b></div><div>Ottawa accepts
1 + 2 + 3 is a very solid base.
Pageau at 2.5 AAV x 2 years is also good, brings experience and solid defensive play. Nice insurance policy to cover for Norris injury situation too.
Bolduc is 6'4 and only 23 y/o, never have enough D-men with size.
Wahlstrom is cheap and only 23 y/o, don't think he has much value left but would still be a better player than Kubalik was this season, for example. But with ZERO risks and cost.
There would be a lot to say about this but quickly, but Ottawa was relatively successful during that transition phase after being serious contenders for a decade (98-08). After the semi-rebuild on the fly in 2009, they made the playoffs 5 out of 8 seasons and won 3 rounds, almost made the SCF in 2017, which is much more than the Leafs did in 20 years, for example.
I say this because the way you word it is "thankfully we were finally able to fully rebuild"... but that doesn't account that we had terrible ownership and just as bad management. We did a lot more during "these years" than during the current rebuild. We don't even sniff the playoffs with Dorion's rebuild.
Disagree.</div></div>
There was no reference that during this stint, we also had coaches like Martin and Murray during these years. If you were to grade coaches out of 100? Martin Murray are well over the 70%. No one is going to convince me that DJ smith would even hit the 50% percentile. If Ottawa brings in a Gerard Gallant, Laviolette, or Quennville? I bet this team "as-is" makes the playoffs next year. Issue is, this is a young team that needs a training camp on how to put an actual system together and actually create an identity as a team. The players brought here to be the core is more than just fine. The coaching provided to these players has been utterly pathetic. Without many veterans who have tasted success in the lineup, it hasn't helped.

Why does Ottawa need him? Stutzle, Norris (if he's ready by training camp, Pinto, Greig, Girouc, and Kastelic, are all players that either do play center for us, or will. That is 6 centers. Replacing Norris for a whole year? Pageau isn't talented enough to play in Ottawa's top 6. Factor in that Ottawa could very well be picking in the top 5... Ottawa likely has this pick in the lineup come next season. Again no reason to spend assets on another aging, un-needed center to help the Isles recoup some cap space.

It would basically work out that you get Chychrun who is way better than Drysdale.... At least in the here and now for sure. Chychrun will bring back a 1st and top prospect from someone... It would be a solid package for a guy like Chychrun.

Nah he's 21 and basically a point per game player in Belleville without much in the way of offensive help. He's closer to a solid 2nd line LW than he is a 3rd and 4th liner. His checking isn't the greatest so he doesn't really project as a bottom 6 winger. But he has good hands, good size, and good speed. Truthfully I doubt Ottawa really wants to shop him, he will be in line for making the team next season, but for the right trade they might use him. But he is highly regarded in Ottawa especially by management.

Ottawa would likely only do it for a straight up 1 for 1 trade. Pinto is a dynamic 6'3 center who is excellent on draws, has been basically a point per game center this season, plays on both special teams groups. I honestly doubt Ottawa would do it. Plus Staios it sounds like, wants to go with Korpisalo for one more year. But if there was a deal to be had for Markstrom? I tghink a realistic trade would be;
TO OTTAWA; J. Markstrom
TO CALGARY; 2025 1st rounder, R. Jarventie (very solid prospect, Ottawa's best top 6 prospect in the system), and likely a 3rd round pick.

I used Drysdale, becdause this is his 2nd shoulder injury in as many years. With a 1st rounder Drysdale with his risk involved would be a solid 2nd piece. Ottawa needs a little skill on the RD side. Drysdale hasn't really developed as many had hoped to this point, but he's still a very solid prospect. I think it would be considered for sure
