Norris is definitely the better player there. Just not sure if I'm interested in the 'stay healthy challenge. difficulty: impossible' aspect of him.

Thread: Before they pack up for Salt Lake City

It's funny that after all the ownership issues, arena nonsense, and looming threat of relocation we had to put up with over the years that we could be considered a place that a star player would look to for "stability".

I'd probably do that and it would make even more sense if the Sens plan on trading Norris, so we could have our centers in these positions:

Greig-Pageau-xxxx

If Necas is traded it’s for a young 2nd line center not this.

At least one of Pesce/Skjei will walk and so will Teuvo. They will prioritize the younger guys.

I think Zeek would be fine as a short term option at 3C if it means we clear JGP's cap hit. JGP only has one more goal than CC, and the difference in assists can be chalked up to JGP not being saddled with the likes of Martin and Clutterbuck as his most frequent linemates.

No... just as a base trade... Nelson for a 1st, 2nd, decent prospect, and maybe an extra mid-round pick seems more than fair... paying you to take on Johansen’s contract would probably require a second or more

Thread: Player by player breakdown - deadline to next year

Frederic isn't an energy guy at this point in his career. He drives play on his line and has put up more than half a point per game without getting any powerplay time. But you're right in that he's not on the table

Thread: Player by player breakdown - deadline to next year

Take out Frederic…maybe. Lol.

Would not swap Feddy for JGP straight up.

Boston has no use for middle 6 centers anyway.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>joshelkin</b></div><div>Calm down tough guy it was just saying the ACGM post missed the mark entirely</div></div>

I think the theory behind that trade is that all other teams are required to send their French-Canadian players to Montreal and let the Canadiens fleece them in the process.

Thread: Big bad bruins return

Isles aren’t paying to move Palmieri. He’s actually playing well and his chemistry with Nelson and Palmieri is very noticeable. Plus he’s on our PP1. He’s a player worth his 5 mil cap hit unlike others on our team.

Why would Guentzel sign for that? He could absolutely go out and get a very substantial raise if he is willing to leave PIT.

Edit: nevermind. Disregard. I saw the signing first and then when straight to the comment section. Don't mind my ignorance.

Thread: Pageau to the desert

I have thought that Schmaltz is a potential trade chip for a while but I just don't see AZ making any trade for him anytime soon. Schmaltz is a part of how Keller stays happy with the team through this arena BS and eleventy-seventh rebuild. Without Schmaltz (best friend on team) being Kellers dependable linemate I could see Keller going the Chychrun route and wanting a fresh start somewhere else.

Side note: wonder how Chychrun feels about the Sens being a bottom feeder and the Yotes pushing for a playoff spot? He left because he wanted to be on a team that would compete in the post season. AZ stock is rising faster than OTT these days.

Thread: Jets dream deadline

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jets12Kozy</b></div><div>Hmmm this is better than the Jones return</div></div>

Is it, thought?

When they traded Seth Jones, the Jackets wound up swapping #32 & #173 in the 2021 draft for #12 & #44, while also getting a 2022 1st rounder and Adam Boqvist, who was 21 at the time and in the last year of his ELC, and had put up 16 points in 35 GP during the bubble season (a 37 point pace.)

This package does have a future 1st rounder included in it, but I don't think the rest of the package lines up with the value the Jackets got for Jones. Chisholm & Salomonsson aren't really adding much value, and I would say that an RHD with success at the NHL level like Boqvist would be more valuable than a forward with 23 AHL games under his belt like Lucius. And, personally, I think the 2nd rounder is cancelled out by the fact that Schmidt has an another year left on his deal at that $5.95M cap hit and already looks pretty washed.
