Thread: Sens 2022-23
Very good ACGM

- Before people say "not enough for Fiala", this package is worth two 1st and a 2nd. Sens can afford to pay that with the youth depth they have

- Giroux and Fiala salaries are a bit low though, don't think they'd sign under 7 M$ each

- I don't think you'll need to buyout Murray, I think he ends up on LTIR. Doctors have probably already considered not clearing him for contact anymore with his concussion history. I think it's unfortunately getting there

- I'd like to use Brannstrom instead of Thomson in the Fiala trade but their values have been going in different directions. That's what happens when your GM has no idea about asset management


I really like these lines, particularly the Top-9

I would have JBD on 2nd pairing RD instead of Hamonic who would be 3rd pairing RD. I know rookies (Sanderson-JBD) and everything but they would still be much better than anything we have seen behind Chabot/Zub/DeMelo the last 4 seasons.

I would trade Brannstrom for pick(s), he's just not part of the plans and doesn't fit. Let him flourish somewhere else

Also, my 4th line would be Crookshank - Kastelic - Joseph.

Watson and Kelly the 13th/14th guys

Thread: Sens post-deadline wishlist
No reason play White as 4C. Don't learn anything from that. Put him on the wing in the top 6. If he's still got a spot on this team it'll be there. He and Tkachuk have played well together in the past, and would allow for Batherson to be moved to the Stützle line full time. White with Stützle would also work. Has good wheels to go with Formenton and Timmy, and gives Stutzle a right shot natural C to help on draws. Would be a very responsible line defensively while being very dangerous with speed. (Stützle lowkey has been one of Ottawa's best defensive forwards this year).

There's also not much point in keeping Sanford or Gambrell. Get what you can get, and go young the rest of the way. Ennis I can see keeping. It's a good fit for the team and player, and he's not gonna be a valuable asset. Could see him taking a string of 1 year deals to stay in Ottawa, where he's found a fit that's been missing for a long time with him.
