Player Discussion Erik Gudbranson (D) to Sens for 5th round pick

[Sensinitis]

Have no issues with the move. Keep him on the 3rd pair and if our young guys don’t perform play him in the top 4 and we’ll get another lottery pick

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Nope nope nope.

We don't have money to add good players, but we sure do like to nickel and dime the budget away on those 3-4-5 mil contracts for players that don't move the needle.

 

[Micklebot]

They didn’t need to acquire anything external to reach the floor though

They need, or rather they would want a cushion so they can trade guys off at the deadline.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Glad to see we're spending our limited resources wisely.

Yeah. He is the new tank commander on defense

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

Duclair is too expensive but Gudbranson at 3 mil, now thats good value

Haters gonna hate. -

Local boy... maybe friends with Murray? LOL

 

[Senscore]

100% pure local boy

 

[IranCondraAffair]

Why? Because hes from Ottawa

Pierre, you're drunk.

Hes not very good. Why not just re-sign Demlo?

 

[Micklebot]

Well .... looks like management is quite serious about protecting their young players. Likely a 7th D for certain situations, I would think J. Brown is ahead of him, but all of a sudden Ottawa has a lot of RDs, seems like over kill. I wonder where Zub fits in here given he has never played in NA before? Another weird & wacky move by a weird & wacky GM. Maybe they trade him or them at the deadline & get their pick back?

We aren't paying 3 mil in cah and a 5th round pick for a 7th d. Look for him to pick up whwre Hainsey left off.

He will be there as a mentor, and playing top 4 mins or 5th d at the worst.

Chabot - Gudbranson
Wolanin - Zaitsev
Reilly - Brown
Zub?

Demelo just signed for four years

DeMelo just signed a four year deal. Gudbranson has 1 year left on his contract. No doubt DeMelo is the better player but where does he fit in moving forward.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I'm convinced none of our scouts actually watch anything. They see the birthplace and his size and go for it.

 

[Hale The Villain]

3M wasted on another bad D.

Now spending 10M on Zaitsev, Gudbranson, Reilly and Brown - and all of them suck.

Could have acquired Nutivaara for nothing. Way better, cheaper and younger than Gudbranson.

Jets did sign him. Unless your talking about before we let him go

 

[IranCondraAffair]

Demelo just signed for four years

I know, I meant last yeah. If were going to pay 3M for a guy to pair with chabot, why not Demelo

 

[Pens x]

He’s a solid #8 dman.

Local, free-range, organic defenseman.

Stop using common sense.

Before we let him go. He was fine with Chabot.

They only wanted Gudbanson because hes big and hes from Ottawa.

Pierre you f***ing loser.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

WHY?







Seriously, why?

 

[Flamingo]

If there was any doubt the identity they're trying to build is, er, truculence, let it be gone.

 

[Sens Vader]

Yes!!!!!

Our team is gonna be tough af

Ducks fan here. Gudbranson gets a bad rap, but he’s a fine player and a great teammate. He’s huge, and a surprisingly good skater for his size. He’s decent at moving the puck, but he tends to panic a bit if he’s stationary with the puck on his stick in his own zone. That’s when he can throw possession away. But the guy works hard, defends teammates, and isn’t as big of a liability as you might think, even if he is overpaid.
