Thread: Change is in the wind
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AnonymousSensFan</b></div><div>Could you explain why the Sens would do this?

Sens need a goaltender, and as their best goalie prospect, Mads is likely to make the jump to the NHL permanently this season or next. And he's cheap, which is important to the Sens based on approaching cap issues.

I just don't see why they do this for an AHLer. They have enough of those prospects.</div></div>

Thread: Debrincat for Gibson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Neptune12</b></div><div>That's exactly the way I see it. Replace Debrincat with a middle 6 player and fill in the holes we have in depth and add a true #1 goalie such as Hellebuyck, Hart, Hill, Saros.

If we re-sign debrincat Im afraid well be very top heavy, our depth will struggle and we won't have the cash to pay for a #1 Goalie.</div></div>

Yeah, I don't like the idea of having 4 forwards earning ~8 million, especially with Chabot and eventually Sanderson + Chychyrun's next contracts, that could mean 56 million spent on 4 forwards and 3 D.

If we are trying to make the playoffs next year and beyond, we are so much closer to that goal by acquiring a goalie than with keeping DeBrincat and signing a UFA/pushing Sogaard too early.
