From the runaway slave to a modern day king.
Very close
Good deal for the Sens, and a good player. One of the best skating forwards I have seen.

Yeah like Pageau, Dzingel, Stone, Wideman and Hoffman. Oh wait no they were all drafted in the 4th round or later. Sens dont need those guys anyways.
I think he's doing exactly what he needs to do. Ottawa isn't going to have a better chance at the Cup in three years. Their best chance is now. No reason to rebuild, and a waste to stand pat.
Go for it. Everyone on that roster is contributing except the depth forwards. So bring in some depth and go as deep in the postseason as you can.

Ehh we saw what a bottom six can do in 2015. We lost to the Habs in the playoffs mainly because of their superior bottom six.
I've been pretty critical of Dorion and didn't like the Burrows trade, but our bottom six looks much better today than it did 48 hour ago.

You guys will LoVE Burr.
I like Stallberg.
Never in my dreams would I have thought burr would get MORE than Stallberg.
But I still don't think they make a difference for you guys in the playoffs until you go REALLY big.
even Toronto might beat you guys in the first round with that lineup.

I think people have been ignoring how horrible the Sens depth is and how overextended the top 6 have been as a result. Kelly - Lazar - Neil has been our 4th line. Now we've got some depth and Lazar will be traded to get that pick back.
Hoffman - Turris - Stone
Dzingel - Brassard - Ryan
Smith - Pageau - Burrows
Stalberg - Wingels - Pyatt
Neil - Kelly - DiDomenko
No more calling up Varone when there's injuries.

4th line is still junk, Wingles is god aweful. Varone showed more in the game last night than anyone on those bottom two lines has all season outside of Pyatt and Stalberg.
Rumour is they have a agreement from a team for a 2nd but are hoping for a 1st. If Dorion pulls that off it'd make up for the Burrows trade imo.

Exactly this. Turris played like 26+ mins when Stone and Hoff were hurt. We've also been rolling with 11F-7D many games this season because we have zero confidence in our 4th line players. We need this.

Their roster is good, but not nearly good enough to be legit contenders. I guess anything is possible in the playoffs, but why mortgage the future for a middling team?

This is probably the most feasible road to the ECF in years if you're an Atlantic team.
I guess we need the revenue.

How is this mortgaging their future? They traded a 3rd round pick and their 5-6th best prospect to fix two gaping holes in the lineup when the Sens are near the top for their division. The Atlantic is weak this year, they have a decent chance of atleast making the conference finals.

I like this move for Ottawa. Added depth. Won't need to rely on Stalberg for his offense which will allow him to produce a few goals here and there. His speed is dangerous, it's just a shame his hands can't keep up with his feet.
That and being a mainstay in the league leading penalty kill. Fun fact: 9 or those 12 points are goals....2 of them short-handed. This is the epitome of fair value.

It's not completely terrible for their future. And I like both adds, ESP burr. But neither will make a difference in the playoffs this year and burr at least will not be effective on the ice in two years. He plays an intense, heavy game that's hard on the body.
