Proposal: Big Moves for Ottawa

[Barsky]

Chabot will ultimately get moved to the first team to give up a 4th.

Absolutely not

funny one.

 

[stempniaksen]

Not enough $ for Marner
Chabot isn't returning Mateychuk
Merilainen and Kleven probably get bridged (2 years tops) for less $
Zetterlund for a 3rd is supremely dumb and not happening despite his slow start #'s wise

The premise is fine, I could absolutely see them shipping out Chabot's salary and bringing in some help up front, but it won't be the premier FA available (and also, if Marner is leaving TO it's probably not for a trip down the 401).

Realistically, this team is probably going to be given a chance to run it back as is with maybe one or two depth additions (3rd line F + 3rd pairing veteran RHD).

 

[dumbdick]

Trade cozens + futures for Troy Terry
Trade mantinpalo + futures for Mario Ferraro

 

[Sting]

I really don't think any club making Marner the focal point of their team is going to win the Cup.

 

[lanceuppercut75]

If Matinpalo isn't in your top 6 D, then trade him to DAL for Dumba(@50%) and pick

 

[Fro]

CBJ definitely not doing that deal

 

[Smitty426]

Take into considerations the cap projections of 95M.

July 1st UFA signings:
Mitch Marner 12M x 7y
(re-sign) Claude Giroux 2x 4.5M
(re-sign) Adam Gaudette 2x 1M
(re-sign) Nick Cousins 1x 1M
(re-sign) Leevi Merilainen 3x 2M
(re-sign) Tyler Kleven 3x 2M

Trades:
Thomas Chabot (3x 8M) to CBJ for Denton Mateychuk (2x 0.866)
Fabian Zetterlund (RFA) to (whoever) for 3rd round pick

Roster:

Tkachuk (8.21) - Stutzle (8.35) - Marner (12)
Giroux (4.5) - Cozens (7.1) - Batherson (4.98)
Grieg (3.25) - Pinto (3.75) - Perron (4)
Amadio (2.6)- Gaudette (1) - Cousins (1)

Sanderson (8) - Zub (4.6)
Mateychuk (0.866) - Jensen (4.05)
Kleven (2) - Yakemchuk (0.975)

Ullmark (8.25)
Merilainen (2)

Cap Hit: 91.481M

Marner brings some much needed offense, and while Chabot is really good (especially this year), his money needs to be moved in order to make room for Marner.

Getting a cost-controlled LHD that can move the puck for the 2nd pair, playing with Jensen, stabilizes the position. CBJ will lose Provorov this summer, need a LHD to replace him, and also have alot of cap to spare.

Jersey gives you a third to send him back

Marner is definitely not the guy we need, especially at 12M, even if he'll probably get more.

 

[KevinRedkey]

I thought Zetterlund actually looked good. He just wasn't on the scoreboard, which isn't great but he also didn't cost us goals.

Batherson on the other hand... He's a guy I'd be looking to trade. His contract should welcome plenty of interest.

What would Ottawa look for?

 

[Mr Nogatco]

Same reason Sprong signed for even less, 4th line guys

Sprong is a borderline AHLer who’s not good enough to play regularly for a playoff team. Prob gonna be in Europe soon, there’s a reason no one wanted him last summer

He is 100% an NHL level talent, but a huge A-hole apparently and agreed on him being Europe bound

Dumba?! Not a chance

 

[Barsky]

A big upgrade in the top 6 if Drake goes, Zett could go with him, though rather it just be Zett and futures

 

[lanceuppercut75]

Dumba?! Not a chance

Dumba (half-cap) as a 1 year stop-gap #7D. It's more or less a dump, but with the retention, the cap isn't so bad. The value for Ottawa is the pick, not Dumba.

He's useless, Sens are better off keeping Matinpalo for depth cause he'll be much cheaper and more effective than even a 50% off Dumba and looking elsewhere for a #3 RD upgrade

Half-price Dumba waived and buried cap hit plus replacement 7D from free agency cap hit (Perbix? Ruhwedel?) combined is probably cheaper than Matinpalo's cap hit next year. You get a pick too. Sounds good to me but what do I know? I guess how tight Ottawa's overall cap situation is would be a big factor.

Any UFA will cost FAR more than the barely over minimum that Matinpalo will cost. He'll be happy just to get a one way, as he should be. "A pick" is kinda vague, but I'm guessing it wouldn't be a second even, so not much help

 

[cwede]

look for a 2x homecoming trade around Zibanajed~+ for Pinto~+

Sens showed the league they're nearly ready,
they're a better team now than when Brass<>Zib happened in '16

Cozens has the role that Zib would have on this team. I don't think there would be much interest from the Sens side given Zib's age and the decline that is likely to be rapid.

 

[Shark Finn]

Sharks will take Zetterlund back for a 3rd.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Marner isn't signing in Ottawa for that number, he'll probably have an AAV around (probably above) 13 mil on a 7 year contract if he doesn't re-sign in Toronto. Giroux and Gaudette also probably get more than that AAV-wise.

Despite his season Gaudette still isn't good.

Giroux already took a hometown discount with the Sens and will likely re-up for a good deal.



100% agreed on Marner.

If signing anywhere for "significantly" less than 14 per would be a huge shock.

 

[ottawagm]

Batherson for a young RD or F that projects higher than him in the future + draft picks either way to balance it out.
