Rumor: Colin White in play (Bruce Garrioch)

[HuGort]

Why would you retain 50% on White when you can buy him out for 33%?

Sens get decent return White 50% retained. I would think? Caproom generally not an issue for them.

 

[HuGort]

White was probably the Sens worst forward today.

How did White play against the Habs?

How did White play against the Habs?

Decent game, not bad not great. But had a nice little snipe which was nice to see.

I think the best play for Ottawa is to retain the 33% - he's still a good depth player and can contribute in a team's bottom 6. 9 points in 19 games after a major injury isn't bad at all - maybe not $4.75M worth for 3 more years but decent value around $3M. MTL actually makes a lot of sense, and there are ties to Granato so BUF might be an option too. Great glue guy but I doubt he's in Ottawa's Top 9 next year with Stutzle, Tkachuk, Norris, Batherson, Formenton, Brown, Joseph and Pinto all ahead of him, and they will likely add a Giroux/Fiala/other top 6 option.

What would you want from Montreal White 33% retained?

What would you want from Montreal White 33% retained?

Probably Byron or Evans + a prospect/pick

It'd be cheaper for Ottawa to buy him out then retain 33%.

 

[Stuzchuk]

That's why I mentioned retention above. But it's Ottawa, so.... not happening.

a 2022 buyout for White would cost, 3.750M (1/3 U25), to even things out I guess that they could retain something close to that (around 25%). I'm not entirely sure what approach the new ownership will take with the team but I guess we'll see this summer.

Josh Brook plus a 4th

 

[HoseEmDown]

White 15% retained, just over 4M x 3, for Joonas Donskoi, 3.9M x 1?

For Ottawa you get out of the last 2 years of the White deal with around 750k of retention so savings of 4M, better than a buyout which is 6 years. Donskoi is a RW as well so position swap, who's having a very down year and doesn't fit in Seattle system so with a change could bounce back and be worth a pick or two at the deadline. For Seattle they take a chance on a younger RW to refind his game with a larger role. Have cap room and need more skilled younger players so worth the gamble if White does bounce back.

 

[Langdon Alger]

The only thing wrong with White is a glass body. If he could stay healthy he is a 50 pt forward and there is nothing wrong with the contract. But a strong wind could see him on LTIR.

Definitely not a 50 point guy. The problem with White is that he is not particularly good at anything. He’s a third liner being paid like a top six guy.

I'd throw a pick or sweet talk ya to forget about the retention and do this deal in a split second.

Although, that all depends on how pro scouting sees Donskoi; I think he can rebound to score ~15 next season.

Darren Dreger was saying about it on 690 last week. A deal was almost done but Montreal nixed it at last minute. Probably revisit it at drafte. Probably 3 team deal involving Petry

I wonder what habs were sending the other way.....better be a bad contract going the other way.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Way, way overpaid

What kind of a pick? The last two years at 4.75M could be an issue if he doesn't rebound some as the buyout will no longer be for 1/3.

The hype around him previously reminds me of Logan Brown and every other Sens youngster that followed.
