Thread: (OTT/NYR) - Ebert for Namestnikov
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>L_FACTOR</b></div><div>Okay, let me get this straight. Ottawa, a team that should be working to finish last, picked up a contract with ZERO VALUE beyond this year (UFA) by trading a young asset and a pick. That makes sense. PLEASE, SOMEONE EXPLAIN HOW THIS WASN'T IDIOTIC?</div></div>

First of all Nick Ebert is not a young asset. He's a 25 year old former 7th round pick they signed out of Sweden to play in the AHL. He not anything beyond a 3rd/4th injury call up. Probably only included to keep Ottawa at 49/50 contracts. A 4th round pick is negligible in terms of expected value, especially compared to Namestnikov.

If Vladdy can be a solid middle six player for a couple of months in Ottawa, there's a solid chance they could get a 3rd for him at the deadline. Worst case scenario, he's a slightly better Mikkel Boedker who is gone at the end of the season, and you probably won't miss what you gave up.

With the sens bringing in 3.25mil in this deal, I wouldn't be surprised to see money out in the next couple of days/weeks. Maybe Boedker/Pageau/Tierney? Unlikely the sens want to add salary straight up.

Thread: What did Lou like this year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>linehan10</b></div><div>The Leafs third line center who didn’t even top 50 points and has now been suspended in back to back postseasons for... the Isles best defenseman who has already gotten extremely close if he hasn’t already realized his top pair potential? Really?</div></div>

People on here, "Here is a small sample size I am going to focus on to prove a point and cherry pick a couple of things to drive down someone's value while ignoring other things that happened recently that will absolutely destroy my argument.".

Kadri shot 5% lower on his shooting percentage than his career average, he was extremely unlucky this season. And was one of 8 centres who has scored back to back 30 goal seasons. To call him a 3c who scores less than 50 points is completely ignoring his body of work and trying to artificially lower the value. An actual GM like Lou wouldn't do that, why? Because it's silly and no one would take them seriously.

Thread: Yikes....
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>yes</b></div><div>-and BU jumped the gun and added him to the roster yet it's been reported by Mike Morreale (NHL.com) and Evan Sporer (Sporting News) that he hasn't made a decision. I wouldn't be surprised if he went back to Boston University or went to his OHL draft rights team of London but there is a fair chance he could join the Senators.</div></div>

I wouldnt say they really jump the gun. Prior to him even being drafted they already hinted at him returning to BU back in May/June. Probably gave them the early impression that he would come back, but probably seeing the NHL chance being tempting especially after Dev Camp also I think Quinn being hired as the Rangers HC impacts this.

Thanks have changed since June for him, also it depends...he might want to play in the NHL next year but is Ottawa wanting him to play yet? Who knows
