Marginal improvement
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zbaddest</b></div><div>Trades are okay... but I don't understand why Ottawa wouldn't just keep Anisimov and his contract, helps meet the cap floor anyways, and I would never see Bozak on the top line, unless Ottawa wants to battle for another lottery pick next season. The Cernak signing is very interesting, he could be good with Chabot, but again, you signed him for 5 years when there are JBD and Lassi Thomson who should be ready before then, and Zaitsev is locked too. Also, I like Anisimov, along with Zaitsev, to help Zub integrate smoothly from Russia on and off the ice. I don't imagine Anisimov will be traded, and Zub I think is a factor in that.</div></div>
Bozak is basically just a one year buffer player. Anisimov is a good 3rd/4th C, but Bozak has history playing higher than that. Basically my thought process is that Bozak can be a one year option as a centre, and it lets you comfortably trade Chris Tierney, without having to go fully young down the middle, which I'm not sure is the smartest for Development. You could in theory sign a centre on a 1 year deal, but this way let's you add a pick to accomplish the same goal. Bozak would be a good Vet leader for Ottawa for one year, and come deadline he's a very tradable asset.
He shouldn't be playing as the 1st line center, but Ottawa doesn't have any immediately better options. Colin White will likely be the top Checking centre against top lines, and that leaves you with whichever of Brown or Norris makes the team. I think you're hoping Brown/Norris can take the top spot, but you don't just hand him the job out of camp. You put him as the 2/3and make him earn it.
Also trading Anisimov is mostly just so I can have Chlapik as 4C full time, which I think needs to happen, because he was great on the 4th line this year. Zub will still have the russian Connection with Zaitsev, who isn't going anywhere for at least a couple of years.
Also as far as Cernak is concerned, I gave him 5 years, because he presumably is a long term piece on that blueline. He's 22, and you make that offersheet because you think he fits in alongside JBD and Thomson. If you view him as just a stopgap, I don't think you make the offersheet, and you look at other options.
Zaitsev isn't a player I factor into the long term. I would be surprised to see him finish that contract playing for the Sens. He's probably going to be around for another 2 years, but after that he's either bought put or Traded. After two more years, you expect JBD and Thomson to be on the Sens.

Ottawa isn't giving up the better pick in that deal. Blues need to shed salary, and there aren't going to be a lot of teams who can take on 5mil for a mediocre centre.

IMO there's too much "projection" and not enough content. Brady Tkachuck would be inserted over probably 6 or 7 of those forwards.

Plenty of options at 19-21. Jarvis, Gunler, Holloway, Mercer, Zary, Lapierre, Amirov, Schneider, Quinn etc. Whoever drops, we will take.
I dont see Ottawa taking Drysdale. 2 elite forwards is too much to pass up. If Drysdale was more like Seth Jones than a Dougie Hamilton, id say 100% you take him. We dont need guys like that in Ottawa, we need Paraykos, Ekblads, Carlos, and Pesces

Let It Happen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zbaddest</b></div><div>Because Ottawa doesn't have a superstar centre. Norris is projected to be really good, but I imagine he'll be an excellent 2C, not 1C. If Ottawa can land Byfield and even another top centre, they solidify their chances of having an elite C-man develop in the coming years, in case one of them doesn't pan out. If they both do, say Ottawa drafts Byfield and Stützle, Stützle can play as a LW in the future with Byfield. I don't see why Ottawa would need Drysdale. He seems fine but really I never saw anything amazing from him. Sens have Bernard-Docker and Thomson as their top-4 RD, and they can draft other D-men with their many draft picks after their highest 2 picks. Regardless, I think Sens management will pick well wherever they choose.</div></div>
Well said. Take the best player available, not positionally based. Also, Dyrsdayle would not be a good pick at #4, he's good, but he's not good enough for that to be a good selection.

There isnt a scenario where the Sens draft Drysdale. They spent their past 2 1st rounders on RHD and should select 2 forwards with 1 preferably a centre. 2 of Laf, Byfield, Stutzle, Raymond, Rossi should be the goal

Just for Funzies - Who Says No
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zbaddest</b></div><div>Makes sense, I think for me, as a Sens fan, we've traded for "established" centres like Brassard and Duchene, and Ottawa became worse because of those trades. We know that Ottawa's strengths lie in drafting great players, and with Ottawa being able to draft even for 2nd overall for the first time since they got Spezza, Sens fans would rather see management stick to the plan and get their strong players from the draft. They'll be stronger that way.</div></div>
Fair, though I think we can both agree that there is quite a difference between Brassard/Duchene and Eichel. But I totally understand the desire to stick to the course.

I think it's definitely a possibility, but when that Yzerman/Stutzle stuff was fresh I was kind off doubtful of its validity. It's all trivial anyways as this will obviously never happen, I was just curious if people would prefer 2 potential high end wingers (or 1 winger 1 Dman) or an already established high end center.

His brother also had a much more impressive resume heading into signing.
I see Brady taking 8x8. One more than his Bro, the same as Chabot, and indicating to the Senators community that he is also in it for the long haul.

Duchene is still a solid contract, hes a 1A type Top6 C. At 8m its very fair.
Its more like the Zibby type moves that he pulled, moving out young talent who need raises bc they are playing the nickel and dime game. That one really stings if im a sens fan

I really see no future for the Leafs where they can keep their top 4 forwards and improve the team where they need it. Its going to be horrible once Rielly, Sandin and Andersen need raises.

Its going to be interesting if the purse strings come off on guys who need to get paid after their 2nd or bridge deals.
Easy to pay big bucks off ELC when you have a star already and need to invest to get to the cap floor. If Sens are willing to spend to the cap in a few years they will be scary</div></div>
They dodged a bullet not re-signing Karlsson and Duchene. Stone is the only one living up to his contract but who knows for how long.
