I don't actually mean you are angry at home, punching air, because of sh*t you read on the internet. You said you hope DeBrincat doesn't go to Detroit because of their delusional fans. So I like the wings fans in here would like to know what wings fans said about their prospects that made you hope they don't get DeBrincat.
Just what I said, I guess I was generalizing for all wings fans abit but I still would be happy not trading a 40 goal scorer to a division rival if possible. There are likely better offers on the table.
Here's a 22-player roster fwiw. Its just barely under the cap at $83,386,880.
If he's not going to sign here, we are going to have to trade him either now or later, but yeah, I'd like the best possible return and don't care where it comes from.
That $2.95M Joseph contract looks terrible. Hope Pinto isn't too offended with his $1.6 deal in the short run.
"Oh well, shit happens" is the Sens motto!
Well, if the Senators want to have more money to spend on other players, Joseph could be moved. I won't get into the cost. I'm just sticking with the numbers. I just run these spreadsheets to show what's possible and what could be done. Other spreadsheet iterations can be generated very quickly.
Agree to disagree.
Hard to say what becomes of Dorion as that is up to Andlauer and I'm not inside his head or anything. But you seem to be suggesting or perhaps you are confident that Dorion will remain as GM until the end of the year. I'd have to wonder what the odds of that happening are? I'm not sure it's high enough to be confident of that outcome though. If the Senators are not clearly in a playoff spot by American Thanksgiving, I'd bet the odds are below 50% of him keeping his job until the end of the year.
I’m guessing he is GM until at least the trade deadline unless they have another brutal start. If he is gonna be fired it’ll be after we are eliminated from playoff contention. Theory.
Outside of Edvinsson, Kasper, Danielson and maybe Cossa, the rest of the stock are looking like a bunch of middling players, top 6-9F or 4D at best, every team has quite a few of them in their system or in their roster already and they're also readily available via trades and UFA signings. They don't have anything particularly special imo, even Kasper and Danielson are probably gonna end up somewhere between decent to very good 2nd line talents, I don't see them any more than that. They have no high end players outside of Seider, and no legit scorers either. Not impressed with the Yzerplan so far 5 years in, and I don't think their fanbase will either in 2-3 years once patience runs out with him. They're going into 8th year of no playoffs, and clearly have no plans to contend this season with all those terrible FA signings.
Right. And we all live in a world where the board would tell the new owner that they refuse to fire their precious dorion and DJ because why?
Well, he's not given a ton of options either. If he were a UFA now, and/or he were willing to go anywhere for the highest bidder, he would get 7.
The trade for Debrincat last year led to the biggest free agent signing in our history, our #1 centre being locked up long term, and a top 4 D with term choosing the Sens as his preferred trade deadline destination. I still don’t see the trade as a disaster even where things currently stand, it was an important move from an organizational bigger picture perspective.
