[Spleenless Wonder21]

Right out of central casting (though I like the move, just wholly expected).

 

[henchman21]

Cheap... he’s a pretty meh player to me, but good depth for the injuries. Also Avs always get their guy.

 

[the_fan]

Better than Jost

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Unsurprising but I'm happy with this

 

[CobraAcesS]

Solid B+ move, but it goes to a C if that's all they do lol.

Definitely better than our entire 4th line right now.

Can't remember how much term he has.

Can't remember how much term he has.

He’s a UFA this summer.

Edit: f*** IT! What do you need me for now?!
E: The new censor doesn't register letter case.

 

[Freaky Styley]

Let's not forget that Vlad has shown to be able to perform with quality players in a top 6 role. Pretty versatile player that can play throughout the lineup

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Thrilled with this. Good PK’er and solid third liner for a 4th.

 

[The Pwnerer]

Best part is he boots our AHLers out the lineup. Goodbye Jost, Dries and Tynan.

 

[MackAttack26]

Cheap help for the PK.

Pair him with Vladislav Kamenev and Valeriladislav Nichushkin

 

[MarkT]

Good depth add. We all saw it coming. Seems like exactly what we need in the bottom six.

 

[S3rkie]

Yay no more Dries or Kamenev once pieces come back! LOC can stay he's a decent spot fill in.

 

[RockyMtnRedhawk]

Are the Sens retaining salary? CapFriendly is showing it as a retained salary transaction, and his cap hit for the Avs (3.25M) is less than his AAV (4M)?

Off the top of my head right now..

Landeskog - MacK - Nuke
Nameste - JTC - Donskoi
Neato - PEB - Kaut
Kam - Jost - LOC

Like I said.. Dries down

 

[cgf]

At least he's better than Brassard

 

[AvsGuy]

I’m fairly whelmed by this, especially if it’s our only move

 

[the_fan]

Is Namestnikov center or wing? Hockey db says center

 

[MarkT]

For the record, Namestnikov was only #15 on my list of wingers available at the trade deadline, but he was among the highest for bottom 6 wingers so it's not bad.

 

[CobraAcesS]

Either

 

[MarkT]

Is Namestnikov center or wing? Hockey db says center

He's taken less than 40 faceoffs this year. He's a winger.

 

[McMetal]

Called it. Very on-brand move for Sakic, he's quality depth and great on the PK, even if it's not a sexy or splashy acquisition.

Rangers are.

 

[Chiarelli]

The sens don’t retain
