Thread: dont rush it
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>swinny</b></div><div>Oh I agree. But I feel inclined to play devils advocate for a moment.

1. Clearly you see Tierney as an odd man out down the line, so why not move him for a young piece at RD? Organizationally this is a weak spot for the Sens.

2. The team does not make basement. So can more than afford to take on another bad contract with 1 or 2 years left on it. Like Benning wouldn't be willing to move Ericsson to clear cap space and a Jet Woo to say thank you..... Jet Woo is a RD. See above.

This team is really deep up front. So yes, gotta wait. But I see this as a prime oppirtunity to shore up the organizational defensive depth while doing exactly what you are suggesting.</div></div>

Both your points are good.
#1 To Tierney, yes he's the odd man out in my mind, but he's important this season to see a year where the wheels don't fall completely off the bus while players are developing. At trade deadline or next off-season, I agree completely.
#2 Agree 100%. It'll be interesting to see how Seattle expansion shapes contracts going forward but yeah I want to see them weaponize that cap space and take some bad contracts for assets before all these young guys come off their ELCs.
