Ullmark, Zub, Perron... 1 M$ retained on Korpi, being stucked with Hamonic... it's starting to be a lot for a team trying to get out of its rebuild.
Aside from the 3rd it's been a wash. Joseph has 4 points this year. I don't get the obsession with this guy. He is 27, his career best is 35 point and 5/8 season he scored less than 20 points. Perron has never scored less than 20 except a season where he played 10 games.
Even if comes back with 35 games to go and scores a few big goals or plays up in the lineup, it's still more than Joseph. Joseph also being the same guy who sat a game against his own brother due to "discipline issues."
Not since Brandon Bochenski, Ryan Shannon, Peter Regin and Bobby Butler have I seen Sens fans rate a player completely on hypothetical rather than actual production.
He is not a loss to this team, and whatever he provided has been replaced by Cousins/Gaudette off the waiver wire for #1M a Pop.
Perron replaced Tarasenko, not Joseph. No idea what happened with Joseph, maybe he was not welcome anymore so they paid to move him but he should be in the conversation when talking about Perron. Salary and role it's Tarasenko replaced by Perron, Joseph replaced by Amadio although Amadio doesn't even PK so now it's Norris/Giroux on PK1
Cousins is on cheap contract and we're lucky because he can provide more than his AAV. Gaudette is not a comparable and came out of nowhere as he was not proven in the NHL even a 28 y/o
Get him on LTIR for the rest of the season and re-evaluate in the summer. Let him spend time with his family while we use the cap space for a RD or scoring winger.
Yeah but that call has to be made by a real doctor on the Hippocratic Oath. The question is when would he be cleared to play?
