Thread: Sens Dynasty

I really like Sokolov. He has a good shot and he's bloody hilarious, but an entire 4th line with below average skating will cost us games.
Think you'd be better off with at least one of Kelly, Reinhardt, or Ostapchuk on there.

Thread: Trades Trades

Adding Chychrun to the OTT blue line makes them a better team but this is too high a price. I wouldn't do it.
If you were also taking Zaitsev then maybe, maaaaybe, I'd consider it.
- Thomson is a year out from being a potential top 4 RHD himself.
- Chychrun has yet to manage playing a full season without injury and at 24 has had surgery on his shoulder and BOTH knees.
- Chychrun is UFA is 3 seasons away from being UFA too.

Thread: Very competitive following season

That Formenton offer is bonkers. Just sign him for 2 years at $3M so you at least have a chance at reaching a bridge deal with Sanderson.

Other than ZUB we shouldn't be looking at any of those UFAs. Nash and Del Zotto??... Come on... No.

Thread: can they beat out Boston and Washington etc

Holden has played the right side before and I think I would prefer to see him on the 3rd pairing over Zaitsev. So Branny-Holden, or Holden-Branny.
Either way, I'd send Zaitsev to Belleville to make sure a trade to ANY NHL TEAM is something he jumps at.

Thread: Leafs getting under the cap

ANA has no need for Holl, their right side this season has Klingberg, Shattenkirk and Drysdale.
They also have 7 D on one-way deals + Drysdale who isn't going to be sent down.

It's nowhere near "perhaps" because Ottawa says "not at all".

Thread: Oilers well that ends well

Ottawa has zero interest in acquiring Barrie. He's not AT ALL the RHD we need.

Thread: chychrun and kessel

I can't imagine why ARI would say no that. It's a great return.
Not sure why your second pairing is SO MUCH better than your first though.

Thread: In 3 years

If Sanderson looks capable of taking over the 1st pairing spot by the end of 23-24 there's a possibility Chabot gets moved before his MNTC and $10M per season salary kicks in.
Crazy, I know, but we'll be in full cap crunch by that point what with Pinto, JBD and a few others needing deals and potentially needing a goalie. Plus AT LEAST one of Kleven, Hamara, Nordberg or Romeo will be able to take one of the two bottom LHD spots that leaves open and we can find a UFA or get back a lesser LHD as a SMALL PART of the Chabot return. Might be better than losing one of those top 6 fwds.

Thread: Pull The Trigger Tre

Ottawa is looking for a top 4 RHD and nothing else. If you aren't calling about moving Andersson, Tanev or Weegar, there's not much point in calling us.

Thread: Forward amp Dman

I'm sure there's a team out there who'd be happy to give you a 4th in return for Pearson, I just don't believe it's Ottawa. LW and LD are too positions where we are set and have significant depth.

Thread: Time to Relocate to Portland

I suspect, as many have, that waiting to see if Formenton is implicated in the Canadian WJC assault is what is holding up a Chychrun trade to OTT.
Don't believe OTT would include Pinto in a deal. But I'd certainly offer the 2023 1st (top 3 protected), Bernard-Docker and Jarventie, and I highly doubt there's a better offer on the table.

Very bad trade for NJD.

Thread: Akkadese Maelstrom Oil

That would be a move Toronto SHOULD make but they 're trying to shed cap in order to sign Sandin and that extra million in salary doesn't help.

Thread: Unparalleled Success

I'd say that if you scratch the 4th rounder coming from ARI and make OTT's 1st unprotected this is a fair trade, but there'll for sure be people telling you how much more it would cost.
That said, I'd happily do Jarventie, JBD and Zaitsev + the 1st and 2nd for Chychrun. I'd add Reinhardt if necessary but I do think he'll be a great 4th line PK guy at the NHL level and wouldn't toss him in for a lark.

Brutal deal for Ottawa. Declined.

Ottawa declines. We have zero need for a LHD, but we'd be happy to talk about Demelo, or even Bauer.

Thread: Just thought of something big

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BestGMBenning</b></div><div>He’s decently defensively. Him and OEL were our stronger shutdown pairing. Him at $4.5M would be a better add than Zaitsev by a mile.</div></div>

"Better than Zaitsev" is an extremely low bar. If he had ONE season remaining it might be something we'd consider but the possibility of having HIM and Zaitsev on the books next year makes the answer no.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NDoody</b></div><div>The next few contracts are gonna make a huge difference for the Sens, Cap, and Asset management is really going to become a thing. Especially when in reality the Sens Cap is internal and not even the League number.

It's clear that Eugene's daughters aren't as worried about internal budget and are willing to spend if it makes sense. Eugene never would've given the green light for this kind of off-season.</div></div>

Thread: Moving a defenseman retooling bottom 6

Ottawa needs a top 4 RHD, Pettersson is not a piece we need or want and the picks don't change that.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BestGMBenning</b></div><div>With Dorion having free range with what he can do now I’m sure he’ll work something out to move Zaitsev.

Yes, Dorion has made some great moves and hopefully there's more to come, but acquiring Tyler Myers would not be one of them.
