Thread: And NOW the Kids Are Alright

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mikeyfeyer</b></div><div>logan brown, a second, and whoever Mikael Wikstrand is does not get you the best winger available in a draft in years</div></div>

Replying purely for educational reasons. Mikael Wikstrand is a 25 y/o LHD who is currently the league leading defensemen in the KHL. He is on OTT reserve list.

Thread: Logan Brown

Possibly the most one-sided trade I've seen on here in months.

Forum: Armchair-GMOct 4 at 7:48

Thread: Trade deadline

I guess in this scenario DeMelo, Boro, and Pageau have all be resigned with favourable contracts? And what about Anderson? My hope is that there's a playoff bound/bubble team out there that will have injured or struggling starter and that they're willing to give up a mid range pick for Anderson.

Thread: opening night

Sick of seeing Batherson in everyone's top 6. The kid has not shown a ounce of effort in any of his preseason games. SEND HIM DOWN. Play Sabourin until Balcers is ready to go. Let's see if the AHL can get Batherson and Logan Brown going again. Let them EARN a spot!

Thread: Tkacuk Trade

I think that's a pretty good package for Matthew Tkachuk, but this is not the year to go after him. Let's get that top 4 pick in 2020 and then go after him by offer sheet in 3 years OR by trade in 2.

Thread: Drouin

IMO that is just too high a price to be paying for a player that we have no need for this season. Though, admittedly, I've never been a big fan of Drouin's game. Too soft.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>athrin</b></div><div>Pageau will get OTT 2x 2nds or a late first...</div></div>

Agreed. Or a 2nd rounder PLUS a prospect just outside of a teams top 10.

Thread: An outside look of OTT line-up - am I far off

Two possibles with JG Pageau: if you get a contract extension in place then OTT can play him anywhere in the line up they want. If they can't get a deal in place then they're better off playing him with some talented guys to pad his stats and make him more valuable at the trade deadline when they move him. And he's good enough to handle the second line - has probably been training is butt off this summer!

I know that Batherson seems like a given but right now it's looking like Abramov is the winger to beat. So hard to tell at the rookie tournament who is actually NHL ready though. Preseason will tell us much more.

Thread: Making space

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Barbs</b></div><div>I agree Brown deserved more ice time but Toronto had to move him. The deal basically worked out to be Zaitsev for Ceci, Brown for a 3rd and an AHL player swap. Toronto took Harpur so Scrooge McNelnyk can save some cash and green light it</div></div>

True that. And Brown got pushed out of your top 6 as better players came in. The diminished ice time and quality of line mates hurt his stats but I think he could hit a 40 points season in OTT if he shows up hungry for a top 6 spots. Time will tell. UGH... Melnyk....

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Barbs</b></div><div>Perhaps but I rather take a chance on an underperforming D from a bad team (Ceci) over an underperforming D from a good one (Zaitsev) with more term.</div></div>

Ceci has played more post season games with OTT than Zaitsev saw in TOR and the trade was not 1-for-1, OTT wanted C. Brown, who we both know deserved more ice time than he was getting. But my point ... is get Ceci off your top line or you'll get burned.

Thread: Making space

With Cody Ceci on your top pairing, IF you make the playoffs, it'll be another one-and-done post season.

I think that's a very weak return for JG Pageau.

Ottawa has no desire to take on this much salary unless you're including something they actually need, which you haven't.

Unless this is the only offer OTT has in the last minute of the trade deadline there's no way they say yes.

For sure this team wins the Grey Cup. Nicely done.

Thread: What to do with the capspace

I think Chabot would sign a 6 year deal at $8M. That would be my target anyway. I also think almost ALL of these UFA signings are unnecessary. Why overpay for UFA pivots when we have Brown, Norris, Byfield waiting for ice time? And where's Batherson, Wolanin, Jaros, DeMelo, Pageau, Connor Brown...? Did you trade them? Because the return on those guys would be pretty noteworthy.

Even if Matthew Tkachuk signed that offer sheet Calgary would match it. No way are they letting him walk for a 1st, 2nd and a 3rd.

Thread: If Ottawa wants Marner

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SammyT_51</b></div><div>Accomplishments according to age? So Marner is worse than Tkachuk because Leafs chose to keep him in juniors and Marner is bit older and needs contract? Oh **** that.. Nail Yakupov for Blake Wheeler in 2013. Yakupov had 31 points in 47 games which is basically 55 point season if whole season was played then. Wheeler was biggest name RFA in 2013. Not comparing Yakupov and Wheeler to Tkachuk and Marner, but your logic makes very little sense.</div></div>

My logic is sound. WTF would OTT give up a 19 y/o 4th OA draft pick who netted 22 goals in his rookie season + a guy who, as a rookie, lead the AHL in points for a good part of the year + a 1st round draft pick... in return for ONE guy who's going to cost them over $10M per season and has zero grit to him. Ottawa isn't going to be a legit contender for another 3 to 4 years. We have no need or desire to screw our own rebuild for a Marner type player. HARD PASS ON THAT OFFER.

Thread: If Ottawa wants Marner

Super adorable. Considering all aspects of their games, accomplishments according to age, and current price tags, I wouldn't trade Tkachuk for Marner even if it were 1 for 1.

Thread: It begins

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MelnykOut</b></div><div>He's been working this summer. Looks deezed. I expect he'll play no more than 20 games in Belleville.

I was never concerned about how heavy or fit he was and deezed doesn't necessarily translate to faster and smoother skating. I still feel like Norris might have the best shot of the pivots who could make this team this season. He's got good speed, is great at face-offs, can kill penalties and it doesn't feel like we're crapping on his development to play him in the bottom 6. Anxious to see how this line up shakes out.
