Confirmed Trade: [CAR/OTT] Viktor Stalberg for a 2017 3rd

[Classicnamesup]

I see a very desperate team right now. Maybe trying to get that sweet first round playoff revenu at all cost?

Must be. Not sure why else they would be buying

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

Ottawa won't pass the 2nd round playoff for sure anyway...

This guy played for my Leafs back in the day. And he has got some serious speed. And he's big and kills penalties. Big upgrade on their third line wing over Pratt or Wingels. Good pick for the Sens.

 

[SprDaVE]

Then they would have made that big trade many were expecting.

I mean they have nothing else to trade at this rate.

 

[Deedog99]

First Burrows, now Stalberg?

Senators are really loading up..

That won't even get them by the leafs

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

In an average draft. This is a weak one. lol
Anything outside the top 50 picks is pretty much a crapshoot.

That's true for every draft. Even so, I like what the Canes have done though in rounds 2+ in recent years:

Dumoulin (2nd), Faulk (2nd), Rask (2nd), McGinn (2nd), Slavin (4th), Pesce (3rd), Aho (2nd), Roy (4th), etc...

Stalberg's pretty decent for a 4th liner. Granted, he has zero brains or hands. But he generally takes care of his assignments and provides a little spark offensively and on the forecheck.

IMO a 3rd was about right for him. I don't feel like we ripped Ottawa off here.

Don't be to sure.

Not bad, helps the depth

 

[ATdaisuki]

This i can get behind. Solid pickup. Fair price. Like it.

 

[Unsustainable]

Good luck to Stalberg

 

[Kale Hulls]

Should run a line of Burrows - Wingles - Stalberg

I actually think that could be good.

Honestly this playoff format probably makes a run more possible.

With the Pens/Caps in the Metro, you won't have to face either until the ECF if you finish top 3 in the Atlantic, which is a pretty wide-open division.

Sens loading up on the garbage again, I have seen this movie before in Ottawa, guessing teams are lining up to fleece Dorion now....I am concerned for his mental well being.

 

[Siludin]

Dahlen + 3rd for Burrows + Stalberg is probably an easier pill to swallow for Sens fans. Stalberg is underrated.

 

[Step]

Totally fine with this move.

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

Ott aren't going anywhere, they are not a cup contender team and considering their depth, prospect pool and picks; they won't be a cup contender for at least the next 10 years.

 

[Freudian]

Stålberg has no hands and tunnel vision, but he's big, fast and works hard. Use him properly and he should be fine.

 

[Brock Anton]

Yeah, don't get how some find this to be a bad deal. Stalberg is a good 4th liner and is great on the PK.

 

[Stuzchuk]

finally! for the first time of the season we have depth on the wing!!!!!!

Lol a 3rd for Stalberg is a very fair deal. Sens biggest weakness was there bottom 6 and special teams. Both were upgraded over the last 2 days

 

[Golden Gophers 4649]

GMs really hate this draft. Picks being given up like candy.

There still will be players out of this draft it's just a 3rd or 4th rounder might end up being better than most 1st rounders. The scouts just need to work.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Pretty much every Canes fan thinks this is a decent deal for Ottawa, so not sure why others are saying overpayment.

For sure. People aren't realizing just how bad the Sens 4th line has been this year. Its literally losing them games. By far their biggest area of weakness.
