awesome, thanks ottowa lmao

 

[Dryish]

Apparently we just traded Guds away. Huh.

Ottawa Senators acquire defenceman Erik Gudbranson from Anaheim

 

[Dryish]

Well, that's some cap space. Huh.

Also please nuke my thread MMC, I tried watching before posting but you were on the case just when I didn't look.

 

[bumperkisser]

Wow. I actually liked guds while he was here... Kinda hoped we'd get more than 5th tbh

 

[Static]

Clearing space in the lineup and our capsheet for a FA? Thinking Barrie.

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

He was pretty good here, kind of too bad they couldn't hold on a little longer and get a better return at the deadline but I totally get it. Worked out well enough as is.

The bigger thing here IMO is they've got someone else coming. Barrie maybe?

 

[Dryish]

Yeah, this definitely means we're in for either Barrie or Shattenkirk. Not that the latter would be much of an upgrade over Gudbranson, quite the opposite possibly.

 

[darkwingduck]

I liked Gudbranson, but cap-space is important this year.

 

[PuckProspects]

Thought Gudbranson played well but obviously Ducks are going to try to sign Barrie or Shattenkirk. Hopefully its for an ok term.

 

[ADHB]

Should have just kept Gudbranson. I'm not on the all-tough guy bandwagon but he provided an element that we lack.

Or they'll use Curran or Hakenpaa and are making space for Nylander maybe?

he sucks lol and for 4 million while not getting anything back..ill take anything lol

 

[Duck Off]

I don’t like this. He was solid for us. Unless we’re using the money for an upgrade; we should have just keep him until at least the deadline.

 

[Sean Garrity]

Why?

Then expose him when Drysdale is ready to step in?

 

[All Mighty]

I’m ok with this if we are signing Barrie or shattenkirk for 2, maybe 3 years. But if we are signing them to long term deals I’m not a fan.

 

[The Duck Knight]

Pretty obvious BM is planning to sign one of Shattenkirk or Barrie.

 

[12ozPapa]

Bummer. Felt like Gudbranson was a great element to have back there.

 

[darkwingduck]

Just no NMC please!!!

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Or they'll use Curran or Hakenpaa and are making space for Nylander maybe?

They've been after an offensive RHD for a while now so that's the best bet but you never know.

Vatanen an option?

 

[gilfaizon]

Barrie could rebuild some value. 1 year @ 6 million

 

[bsu]

Very interesting.....

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Too bad. Gudbranson was probably the best Fowler complement since Despres left.

Hopefully, they go after Barrie if they’re picking between one of him and Shattenkirk.
