Thread: Groundbreaking stuff
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Smithcd995</b></div><div>Montour is an RFA now not an expiring contract at any time right now.</div></div>

Yes, Montour is an RFA with arbitration rights. So if he elects to go to arbitration gets a ONE YEAR deal... which ends with him as a UFA (summer of 2021).
This is why I am saying Montour's next contract will cost more than Tierney's next contract, because buying UFA years always costs more.
IMO, Tierney is more valuable to a team. As a 3rd line pivot he'd be exceptional, and he can adequately move up to your 2nd line whenever needed.
Statistically Second-Line NHL Centers. All situations range: 39 points to 55 points. Even strength range: 31 points to 39 points. TIERNEY FITS BOTH.
He's also 51.2% in face-offs and is a damn fine penalty killer with 4 shorties this season.
Ottawa has a lot of RHD coming soon - Bernard Docker, Lassi Thomson, Artem Zub, and they likely have Drysdale on the board at 5th OA if they chose. Montour is okay, but I'm pretty comfortable waiting to see what comes of the RHD in the system unless we have a shot at a legit 1st pairing guy - which Montour is not.

Thread: flat cap BAD
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>linehan10</b></div><div>Not sure it’s that type of cap dump, per say. Like it’s hard to explain but, he’s not all that expensive and still a pretty quality player that’s great with the young guys. Komarov had Josh Ho-Sang thinking straight for a few weeks, so I think he’d do really well in Ottawa. Still though, I guess the isles could do Komarov and a 4th for a 4th</div></div>

If we want an on ice coach we can pick up a UFA for less money on a one year term. Tyler Ennis was outstanding for us last season and I'd be happy to see him OR Derrick Brassard get brought back on a 1 year deal and then moved at the trade deadline to get the prospects into some games. That second year on Komarov's remaining contract is a deal breaker for me.

Thread: Batherson with 8
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claesson4Norris</b></div><div>The Isles pick will be mid teens and if they lose it's probably 13-15. That's the big part if they're moving into the top ten. Trading a Developed prospect who is ready to contribute at the top of the NHL lineup in order to get magic beans that may or may not develop doesn't make sense.

Batherson and Norris aren't pieces you trade, especially at this stage of the rebuild. I think given the fact that Ottawa is virtually guaranteed a 1C at 3rd overall, I think Logan Brown is a piece they can afford to trade, but I would look to package him for established NHL help, rather than for more picks.


In general I'm against moving up in the draft. Especially to jump up at the top of the draft, the cost is high enough where you end up giving more than you get. I don't think it's a smart way to spend those valued draft assets.</div></div>

It's SUPER rare I disagree with you on stuff, but I'm 100% taking this deal. Picking 3rd, 5th and 8th OA and STILL having the NYI 1st and two 2nds? I am ALL OVER THAT. I'll happily gamble on Jack Quinn's ceiling being higher than Batherson's, and probably proving it by 21-22.
