Thread: Players I would move if a first round loss
Kampf has been exactly what they signed up for. Defensive C who can play PK, and with the right wingers can be effective on the forecheck-- his job is not to be a 20+ goal scorer.
Reaves - also what they expected. He's been great in the the 2 playoff games so far, but is not an every day NHLer-- he is still the definition of enforcer who can be effective downlow on forecheck.
Jarnkrok is a $2.1 utility player that you can trust in all situations- and Keefe loves him for it.
--None of these contracts should be an issue-- but with money tied up elsewhere they seem cumbersome.

Marner isn't going anywhere-- dictated by his contract if nothing else. His turnovers have been baffling at times, and he has been difficult to watch a lot this year, even when producing.

Thread: Players I would move if a first round loss
To comment on players. First Reaves, his contract seems high but it was actually signed with the ability to drop him to the minors and clear 1.1 million in cap space. Also his play has been great since coming back from injury. As for Kampf, he does have offensive upside but only as a 4c and still not worth 2.4 million. Of he was signed between 1.5 and 1.75, I would not complain. Either way it is a guy I am willing to let go of. Ditto for Jarnkrok. He is paid good for his services as a 3rd line winger capable or 15-20 goals and great defensively but he is also replaceable. So saving is salary is good too.

As for Marner, same goes as I said for Nylander. We would need an equivalent winger posting 82-100 points back or a true top 2 defenseman coming back. With Nylander he was apparently dangled and no one offered a comparable defenseman back. It was all futures based and our winning timeline is within 4-5 years most likely so a futures based deal is not feasible when considering it usually takes 4-5 years to develop.cant work the trade prior to UFA without knowing whom we can sign and if we sign first, then we look desperate and team may lower the offers for Marner.

All told I am fine with trading Marner just don't see the feasibility.

Thread: Sens D moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Augustus</b></div><div>Would Detroit exchange Maatta and the 16th overall pick in the 2024 draft to acquire Jakob Chychrun? I think possibly. Getting another 1st round pick will help ease the sting of the Senators having to give one up probably in 2026, for the Dadonov trade debacle.

The second part of this is that, since the Kings may not be able to afford him, the Senators push hard to sign Matt Roy.

Ott:

Sanderson - Zub
Chabot - <em>Roy</em>
<em>Maatta</em> - Bernard-Docker


Det:

Walman - Seider
<em>Chychrun</em> - Petry
Edvinsson - Chiarot</div></div>

No, the 16th pick is needed to add a wing prospect or to be a trade chip for an upgrade to a position of need (RHD/2C/TOP6W).


Roy on the other hand, makes a lot of sense for the Wings to try and snag in UFA without the cost of pick 15/16.
