Thread: Ugh Sens Ugh
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PLDGEY</b></div><div>
So where should we put JPG in 2020 when we resign him? Tierney/Anisimov/White/JGP/Norris/Brown

What about the next year when we also have the Pinto + who we draft with the 2020 draft picks?

JGP is a great player. A great guy. But he doesnt fit OTTs long term</div></div>

I agree with you that: JGP is a great player. A great guy.

It's nice that you listed all the centers in Sens' organization but Pageau is currently the best player of the bunch. You should be looking at Tierney/Anisimov/White/Norris/Brown/Pinto/the currently undrafted players to beat JGP out of his NHL job. You don't just give the guys a center ice position because they have potential, but if for some reason Pageau does get beat out, he can play wing, he can play up and down your line-up and contribute in multiple roles. You don't get rid of heart and soul players, especially for an organization that has a hard time in attracting free agents and in showing loyalty to their players.

Thread: Seattle Sea Bangers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Khalenix</b></div><div>Well, I don't mean to be rude, but I think that a lot of those are obvisouly going to be protected for the expansion draft. Names like : Subban, Holtby, JVR, Kadri and so on.</div></div>

Not rude. I agree that teams will wheel and deal and try to trade players as to not expose good players or make side deals with Seattle. But I made the picks with the current rosters.
For Subban, I protected: Josi, Ekholm, Ellis who are all 1 year younger and significantly cheaper than Subban.
For Holtby, I protected: Samsonov who was their 1st round pick in 2015 and goalie of the future
For JVR, I protected: Giroux, Voracek, Couturier, Patrick, Konecny and since they have an older team, I figured they may let JVR get taken so they can protect 2 younger prospects. But I will give you this one that JVR will most likely be protected.
For Kadri, I protected: Tavares, Nylander, Hyman, Brown, Matthews, Marner, Kapanen and they still have various good prospects Johnsson, Moore, Petan, Bracco, Gauthier that will also be left exposed.
