Thread: If the end of year press conference with Pierre Dorion is of any indication
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pierre_from_Orleans</b></div><div>I agree with you that if Zaitsev is on the roster opening night Dorion should be packing his bags.

I disagree with him being in the minors though because in order for the Sens to sign a "quality veteran" they need to shed cap. They obviously operate on an internal cap so getting rid of Zaitsev's money is imperative. A Zaitsev trade should be Dorion's top priority this off season. It is addition by subtraction. If it takes some draft capital, so be it.

He did also mention that buy outs aren't off the table which might spell the end of White with the Sens as well.</div></div>

He does need to be moved for sure, the problem is gettign someone to take him, mabye AZ will when they can;t sign any one July 1st.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sens65</b></div><div>If Nikita Zaitsev is on the opening night roster, Dorion has failed.

He doesn't have to be traded, at least bury him in the minors until we need the cap space.</div></div>

No I'm not.

I'll give you Byram, he'll be better. The others aren't though. Barrie v Girard

They have similar underlying numbers, but Barrie outperforms his underlying numbers while Girard underperforms his. Barrie also is better offensively. Girard is more expensive and smaller.

Thread: If the Oilers win the Cup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>benkel</b></div><div>1. Canes need extensions for Trocheck, Niederreiter, Domi, Necas and DeAngelo.

After Bear's QO of 2.4 million, the Canes will only have 17 million in cap space for those extensions as well as to fill out the rest of the roster.

When you look at it, the math isn't that great.



2. If you were to trade Bear, the other team foots the bill on his QO.

And Bear does not get a lot of ice time for the Canes and is a healthy scratch on some nights.

You're not going to get much interest, if any.</div></div>

Trocheck is very likely going to price himself out of Carolina. Nino probably signs for about 4. Necas either bridges at 2-2.5 or goes long term at 4-5. Domi might sign for about 3.5-4, but probably would be about 2.5-3. DeAngelo is probably going to be signed for about 2-3. Bear has top 4 upside, and has played really well on the top pairing when he played on the top pairing. Plus, he is a RHD, which is a very valuable position right now. Considering how many ACGM’s I have seen in the past week about trading Bear, I think there would be interest.
