Confirmed Trade: [CHI/OTT] Nikita Zaitsev, 2023 2nd round pick, and 2026 4th round pick for future considerations

[Ianturnedbull]

Do you remember when Leafs fans were bragging that Zaitsev's deal was some kind of Lou masterpiece?

That was fun.

What do you mean? Did you watch Zaitsev play before he got that contract?

 

[Mrfenn92]

For the lolz.

Feel the shame.

Confirmed with Link: - Maple Leafs re-sign Nikita Zaitsev for 7 years, $4.5M per

Nice. Thought it was going to be 5+

Nikita Zaitsev

This guy has had the same impact on the Leafs success this year that Adam Larsson has had in Edmonton. He's a real smart player who can skate, move the puck, and take the body. I'm incredibly impressed with his play so far this year. He looks like a solid all-around # 3 guy, and I think he's...

Some of the takes are amazing, but this is one of my favorites:



Only 5 years ago, mind you.

Nothing like responding to your own post I guess

Good trade for Chicago if it's true that Zaitsev is only signed for one more year. They get two picks in the meantime. Is the future considerations Jon Toews?

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Why do this now if they had so much cap space???

Next season they will be pretty snug against the cap.

This makes enough room for another defenseman and Debrincat's extension.

Well dorion is gearing up to do something stupid

He is going to go all in for Kane or Meier.

 

[dirtydanglez]

really interested to see why ottawa of all teams is clearing cap at this time.

 

[BlueTacos]

Weegar or Parayko to Ottawa?

1st 2023, + + + for parayko.

Erik.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Well, now Detroit has a ballpark estimate of what it will cost to dump Chiarot…

 

[dirtydanglez]

Erik.

that would be pretty funny.

Weegar or Parayko to Ottawa?

Please not Parayko. Overrated.

Doesn't Chiarot have 3 more years after this one?

 

[ClevelandCapsfan]

Orlov?

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

always wondered.. what does future considerations mean

Ask Chris Draper

 

[Larry Hanson]

Why the Sens ever traded for Zaitsev in the first place is still bizarre to me.

 

[yogibear]

Pinto’s number 22 ,is it for this year or next year?

 

[Conbon]

Tank commander

 

[Figgy44]

I suddenly wouldn't be surprised if Ottawa got not one, but two high profile blue liners at lower than expected prices.

It'll be interesting to see what happens. But I agree with Ottawa fans in being confused what Dorion is doing.

 

[Snowwy]

1st 2023, + + + for parayko.

That's delusional.. or from a time machine.

 

[SensFactor]

Sens going after Chychrun, Dumba, Weegar

So which of weegar, parayako, or maybe somehow chychurn is ending up in Ottawa?

My bet is ottawa boy weegar

 

[Paulinbc]

Don’t see either Chyc OR Karl moving the needle for the sens this year.

 

[Pi]

What is Ottawa even doing. They are sellers themselves.

Watch them get another handcuffing contract after they cleared space lol.

 

[Sensin5]

1st 2023, + + + for parayko.

Parayko definitely not worth that. Not worth much frankly.

 

[BlueTacos]

No you have a top 4 dman signed for good contract. The 1st 2023 is happening. The top prospect is happening. Then you throw in another add. That's his value.
