Thread: Lines I want in two weeks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NDoody</b></div><div>I think there is some interest in bringing up Grieg to give him a look, but there is no way he would be C, Giroux would slide to C and he would play LW.

Also, the 3rd and 4th lines are not getting touched if possible, they have been playing way too good.

Now if they do slide Pinto up to 2C you would think Brassard still slides in 3C so you keep those lines as in tack as possible.</div></div>

I know the bottom 6 has been great but, I think there is a chance it can be even better. It's like splitting up Norris Batherson and Tkachuk to start the season, there is a chance the team can be even better with a bit of a split-up. I like Brass with Pinto and Joseph to make it a bit more offensive without Motte and Motte is a much better player than Watson. I can easily get onboard wiht Giroux upthe middle instead of Grieg but, I like Griegs young legs in the middle. Let Greig and Giroux take faceoffs on their strong side.

Thread: CarsonN89 trade from a Sens POV
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xspyrit</b></div><div>This is doable for Ottawa

- Upgrading Zaitsev to Murphy is a must, there's value in that

- DeBrincat is a high end top-6 winger, have to know what his contract demands will be though

Ottawa doesn't really need Brannstrom that much because Chabot/Sanderson and eventually Kleven

They can live without Thomson with Zub, JBD and Murphy

They can afford to move those 3 picks for immediate help too.

That 3rd should be improved to 2nd round pick

And I would add Filip Gustavsson to the package, a young goalie who could become their starter for a long time.



Specifically on this, making the pick is in YOUR control. If the pick didn't "pan out" it's probably because you didn't make the right choice.

You could mess up a 1st OA pick too, but the value is still the value of a 1st OA pick</div></div>

I agree that choosing a player at 7 OA is within control but to say that no matter what that this player will be a major player on a team for the next decade as a fact is just not true. I am saying it holds a lot of value but saying that you dont want DeBrincat because 7OA and Lassi is guaranteed to better is a wild take (that was my point).

Thread: CarsonN89 trade from a Sens POV
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>athrin</b></div><div>it is not worth it for OTT to trade for 5-6 years of Cat, when he hits his late 20s early 30s his career will be over while 7th OA, and Thompson will be top players for Hawks for decade+, IF OTT was currently a playoff team then it be worth it but they may not even be close to a wild card spot again next season</div></div>

I mean this is crazy speculative. 7OA dont always pan out, and Lassi is far from being a lock as a top player for a decade. Cat is a 40 goal scorer and has the potential to allow Stu to be a top player. At some poitn the cupboards are too full of prospects and you need top end players which Cat is.

Plus his size doesnt mean anything with the type of player he is . He isnt a grinder like Gallagher and smaller guys have a lot longer careeers now in the NHL.

In all honesty, as a Sens fan I think the Sens could pay more than this especially with the dump of Z and bringing in Murphy
