Long Term Sens and 2022 Draft Targets
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensibleguy</b></div><div>I read most of the first parts, but skipped over a lot of the draft, too volatile to predict.
Goalies
I don’t have an issue with 3 goalies, especially since the best one has concussion issues. Having Gus around as the 3rd goalie doesn’t hurt, imo. If Murray is healthy and feeling fine, he’s as good as anyone in the league on any given night. If his concussion symptoms return, put him on IR and keep going. Make sure Murray is good to go before he starts, and run him as long as he’s able, to the end of this contract. If cap is tight in Murray’s final season, then he needs to step up, or sit on LTIR, and let insurance pay 80% of his salary, I think that’s the going rate.
Forsberg is not a good #1 goalie, and neither is Gus, but Gus could be a solid starter, an average #1 goalie.
Ottawa goalie prospects since 2007
2020 #71 Leevi Merilainen
2019 #37 Mads Sogaard
2018 #157 Kevin Mandolese
2017 #183 Jordan Hollett
2016 #55 Filip Gustavsson (included because his NHL debut was with Ottawa)
2015 #199 Joey Daccord
2013 #78 Marcus Hogberg
2012 #76 Chris Driedger
2012 #166 Francois Brassard
2009 #46 Robin Lehner
Most goalies are drafted in the 3rd round, which are now picks #65-#96, but before 2016, it was picks #61-#90. Goalies considered better than avg, based on draft position;
2009 #46 Robin Lehner
2016 #55 Filip Gustavsson
2019 #37 Mads Sogaard
Gus is fine for now, until Sogaard is ready, and Forsberg should be fine for now, as Gus gets better. Murray just gives that hope of dominating, when the concussion symptoms aren’t there. We’ll see where this trio goes, but these three guys, Murray, Forsberg, and Gustavsson, are holding the spot for Sogaard.
Defence
Chabot - a true #1D
Sanderson - a definite #2D-#3D even never having played an NHL game
Zub a very solid #3D-#4D
Zaitsev - the never complaining workhorse that the farmer relies on to pull the plow, while everyone wants to see the thoroughbred horses pull the plow
Hamonic - just another workhorse
Brannstrom - the thoroughbred that looks like a thoroughbred, acts like a thoroughbred, but doesn’t perform like a thoroughbred
JBD - the workhorse that’s undersized, but gets the job done
Thomson - the wildcard, might be a #2D-#3D, might be a #4D-#5D, we want the former, of course, but he isn’t, yet
I always come back to missing out on Graves last offseason, and now watching Chabot pair with Graves at the WC, it stings worse 😆
This is the season that one or both of Thomson and JBD work their way into the lineup. They don’t need to be there on opening day, but eventually injuries will get them into the lineup.
The team doesn’t need a top4 D unless they think Thomson and or JBD aren’t going to be top4D, since they have Chabot, Sanderson, Zub. They’re not getting anyone better than Chabot or Sanderson. BTW, when I say top4D, I mean playoff team top4D.
Have to go, I’ll do the forwards later</div></div>
That’s pretty much my opinion on the need for a top 4 RD too. It only becomes an issue if both Thomson and JBD unexpectedly flop hard. I will say though, Graves may be an option next offseason. He’s a UFA, and NJD will still have Smith and Siegenthaler, and L. Hughes will turn pro next year as well, so they might let Graves walk. I wouldn’t mind bringing him in, even if (ideally) he’s like our #5 next season, we should be able to afford a 3-4mil 3rd pair guy for a couple years, pay a little extra for quality depth while Sanderson is on his ELC and Thomson/JBD are cheap (plus by the time Sanderson’s ELC is up, hopefully the cap will be going back up again), or in the worst case scenario he can safely handle bigger minutes if Thomson and JBD are still easing in.

Both Florida and Calgary decline that pretty easily. Value wise Calgary looses that by a landslide, cap wise no way in hell Florida can afford it.
If Monahan is healthy he will not cost assets to move, if he isn't healthy he will be placed on LTIR

Additional Details:
I feel this is fair, I would probably drop the 3rd and still make the trade assuming one of Jiricek/Nemec is still available at 5 and Philly is willing to trade down.
Boeser only has two more seasons of RFA left, and teams aren’t giving that high a pick without more guaranteed term in return.</div></div>
I agree with that. I would assume Vancouver would need to sign him to some sort of extension before trading him to get a better return.

Fiala to Devils
Using the pick value chart
#2 overall = 12.3
#25 overall = 3.4
Net = 8.9
That put Fiala’s pick value as equal to #4 overall pick.
Minnesota would still need to add, especially if it’s just the players’ rights being offered

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensibleguy</b></div><div>That was the point, his argument was that Fiala will do just as well with Stützle is the same as the arguments that Ryan would do just as well with Spezza. You’ll need to go back and reread the comments, it seems you didn’t get the point.
Again, you didn’t get the point.
I compared the same situation from the other side, the Bobby Ryan side. What a player did before a trade is not always an indication of how they will perform after a trade.
Bobby Ryan continued his PPG pace with Ottawa, he just changed his ratio of goals to assists, until the hand injuries occurred.</div></div>

Sorry thought it was obvious. And if you read my post, it just gives more support to your argument.

Yeah when I say add, I didn't mean that we would add $625,000 on our cap but more to the "cap limit", wrong choice of word I guess.
I see the 1/3 being the total cost but it's because it's split on 6 years instead of 3. But we save 1/6 the first 3 years! Then add 1/6 the next 3

This is ridiculous.
This isn’t real, and trying to fool people here is meaningless because, this isn’t real.
Johnson is a cap dump, and Murphy missed the last 22 games with a concussion, after missing games earlier in the season because of a…concussion.
Even if you thought White was a cap dump, which he isn’t, he can be bought out at 1/3 this summer rather than do this ridiculous deal.</div></div>

If we acquire nobody then I hope this would happen :
Tkachuk - Norris - Joseph
Greig - Stutzle - Batherson
Formenton - Pinto - Brown
Kelly - Kastelic - Watson
Gambrell
I like White but he's not a Top-6 forward and should be on the 3rd line. However, I would rather have all of Formenton, Pinto, Brown and Joseph (if we acquire someone) on the 3rd line too. Nick Paul too if we could re-sign him. So we might have to think about saving money (owed 15.75 M$ for the next 3 years)
Might as well buy him out or trade him in a package to get a Top-6 Winger (with the 7th OA pick and another asset? Like Brannstrom for example)

He's not terrible especially for the amount of money of a team buying on a retain.
He just has like one extremely dumb play a week or two weeks which hurts his rep. Other than that he is a very sold defensive defenseman and I'd be fine with him on the third pair at like 1-2 million.
