Proposal: Free agency edition Trade Rumours/Proposals - 2025/26 Part II

[Gil Gunderson]

Seems like Yak is being thrown in a lot of proposals. We sure that’s a good idea. Still unsure about the kid. He could bust but he also could end up being one of the better offensive Dmen in the league.

I don’t want to give up on him at all because he has sky high potential. At the same time I don’t want to go into the season acting like he’s a sure thing to be a top 4 guy.

I agree I'm hesitant on trading Yak unless it's in a big package for a proven star signed long-term. I think he can be a very special player and has outstanding instincts for the game.

Honestly who cares about Zetterlund, I'd love to move him and free up 4.25m in cap, he's not a good fit for our top 6 and I think he's a waste in our bottom 6.

Who cares about his friendship with Eklund, it's the National Hockey League not the National Homie League

For me then being friends is more of a cool fun fact, but I do think it's probably helpful to the room to bring in a guy who is going to be super thrilled to be here right after you had to trade someone away who wanted to leave.

Have you been watching how the league works?

 

[SensFactor]

I have a feeling Debrusk is who we are targeting out West...

 

[HSF]

McTavish you mean?

Ya

Mctavish
Laf to a degree
Petersson

Off the top of my head

 

[ottawagm]

Rather get Coleman and Whitecloud.

Actually thats fair and I do realize we right now probably have around 18m in cap and are probably not going to get Robertson. If we get McTavish for example then we'l have ~11m in cap which we can use to sign Ingram and Giroux comfortably.

Whatever happens with Spence is up in the air but I do realize now it's not an immediate necessity to dump Zetterlund's contract

Yes. Exactly the way loser franchises think, letting players run the show and bring their buddies in like Brady. Is there another fanbase that talks about players being buddies and best friends more than the Sens.

What would we use that money on? It’s not like we don’t have cap space. He’s not blocking anyone one in the lineup. He’s not a bad player. He just leaves you wanting more.

You've been busy this week haven't you?

I'd agree if we were in a cap crunch, but I don't think cap space will be a limiting factor this offseason so I'm happy to have him provide depth as a quality bottom-6 W.

 

[JackieDaytona]

Players are the only ones who can tamper. We need more players to talk up this org and get buddies to want to come join, if having a tight knit set of friends is part of that then great. I think it’s also part of getting good character players here, chances are higher they get along and pull the same direction. But I doubt the gm is placing friendships above other factors when deciding to bring someone in.

The Sharks.
Celibrini and Smith.

 

[Micklebot]

Don’t think that’s how offer sheets work

Edit: I’m wrong again

news to me too so don't feel bad about it lol, that makes it even more tempting, though odds are Robertson doesn't sign our offer

 

[Micklebot]

Washington added two legitimate first liners and are building a big group. Have young players coming up as well. The East will only get tougher.

They also lost at least one legit first liner, two if Ovechkin retires

SHhhhh. Shhhhhhhh.

 

[Cosmix]

lol how did we draft BOTH Ostapchuk and Roger before Knies....

Man Knies is what we thought we were getting in Boucher....

Change that "we" to Dorion and Mann.

 

[Cosmix]

I have a feeling Debrusk is who we are targeting out West...

Perhaps its Bozo.

 

[HSF]

Wash getting better and will be pushing from below us

Ottawa has to get better here. So far we have gotten worse but let’s see

 

[HSF]

Any Chance Clb does this:

Greig, 25oa, Hensler or Yak for Marchenko with an extension

Too much? Too little? Or am I crazy thinking Marchenko would extend here... Maybe he can be best buds with Zub?

Don’t think they get that much

 

[Hale The Villain]

They'll push right by us, and Pittsburgh, and Philly, and take a spot in the Metro.

We'll be even as long as we have 2 NHL caliber goalies next year.

 

[JungleBeat]

We need a fighter. You know it’s going to be fireworks against Florida 4x a year.
