Thread: Ottawa gets interesting
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensibleguy</b></div><div>Seriously though...



I'm very much of the opinion that these young players have lots to prove. With Tyler Johnson each of those years, his TOI has gone down because Tampa has gotten better and better. He used to be a #2 center and now he's #4 on Tampa. I think bringing in some guys who can put up 40-50 points like Johnson will be helpful in the long run. Ottawa also doesn't wanna rush these prospects and these contracts won't be getting in the way cap-wise due to those young players playing on ELCs . I strongly believe both in this prospect pool but Ottawa is doing the right thing by not rushing them. Steutzle, JBD isn't joining the team until 2021-22 season minimum. As for the rest of those young guys they have the room to play them if Ottawa thinks they are ready but this ensures they have the roster players if not. (Batherson is a prospect I have in the lineup because I think he'll make it out of training camp)</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DiehardRedWingsFan58</b></div><div>Let's not get ahead of ourselves here, Ottawa is going to be a very dynamic team here shortly. But even teams with the most talent doesn't always translate to cup contending teams. There has been tons of teams in the past that had talent and what it took to win cups but yet never had. Right now on paper Colorado is the best team but being the best doesn't guarantee you cup success takes a lot of things to go right to win a cup.</div></div>

On paper, Tampa is the best team!!! Like hands down and have been for years but you are right that they will likely get knocked out in the first round in that year but Johnson and Killorn will likely not mind playing there if they are making playoffs. The real stopper on this trade comes from Melnyk never wanting to spend money
