Thread: Ottawa Senators
I agree with you on everything except the Calgary deal. Calgary gets a very solid proven fourth line guy who has grit but can also put up decent points. think stajan when he first came to Calgary. they also get a decent third pairing defenseman that will replace stone and challenge our young players to be better for a spot. (not unlike Stone)

but perhaps the most important part of this trade is that both of those guys have 1 year remaining on their contracts meaning we save a full year of cap space if we don't want to re-sign either guy

In return for taking the extra year of stone Ottawa uniting the stone brothers might be enough to convinve Mark stone to re-sign there. (doenst usually work like that but hey you never know.

as for the OP I think all three of these trades are very well thought out. well done

Thread: Pacioretty & Shaw
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>uncleroddy</b></div><div>I can at least see where you are coming from....Ottawa does consider Chabot a cant miss prospect ....

Mtl needs an offensive center and Pacioretty has a lot of value, so there is no way Bergevin would consider Pageau instead of Brassard and I dought they would let go of Turris. I know Ottawa should pay more but it would be a trade with no chance of happening. Now a days, you have to give more if you really want specific players. Nashville gave their captain with a 7Mil$ cap hit and got Subban at 9Mil$ who now plays on a second pair. They gave a lot but made their team better. Drouin is taking the pole position on the LW, Vanek is available for the 2nd line. Brassard would stabilize the 2nd trio and we would get a top LHD with Chabot in a year or two. Jerabek will take that spot this year. He was the 5th best offensive dman in the KHL last year and I dought Markov will make it to that top 5 next year.
