Proposal: Free agency edition Trade Rumours/Proposals [MOD - Stay on Topic] 5

[BUCKLE UP]

Shaky twitter source said we almost had a deal with the sharks

And GM offered dj to step down but still remain with org

I can't even think what deal would make sense with the Sharks. I legit don't want anyone from their roster.

 

[GCK]

Then we have a massive hole in the top 9 and the P.p. Im no massiv ebatherson fan tho.

Is there a corresponding trade to ship out a d man. Especially when they’re all healthy?

I would move Chabot after the season. As for the hole in the top 9 I’ll take someone who has less offence but plays properly.

I agree with your second sentence.

I was thinking about how much bertuzzi may want as UFA. But we would have to not take
Money back in a batherson deal.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Ya, a link would be good as that last sentence doesn't make much sense. Perhaps the sentence should be "Pierre Dorion asked DJ to step down but still ......."?

A second line forward obviously doesn’t have the same value as a top pair D but the idea that Batherson has negative value is unhinged. His production for his contract value is a great deal.

The guy is becoming a major whipping boy.

It is reality in this cap era. Multiple very good wingers with cap/term have effectively been traded for nothing. In terms of Batherson, he hasn't shown the ability to be the superstar he was prior to getting hurt. I think it is unlikely that he has a lot of value right now because of his cap hit, term, and the overall landscape.

Long term cap is so valuable right now that players need to be superstars to have value. Otherwise, even good players get moved for next to nothing (Bjorkstrand, Smith, etc). That might change in 1-2 years as the cap actually starts to rise. UFAs at the deadline tend to go for more than players with term.

Also said they offer Alfie a coaching job and he declined

 

[Ice-Tray]

Definitely don’t want Alfie in a job that he can and eventually would be fired from.

Keeping DJ would be good for the organization. What role could he reasonably slide into?

Thanks.

Yeah alfie as an assistant coach would be intriguing but I wouldn’t want to see him fired after a couple years. That would be awkward and ugly.

 

[slamigo]

Alfie should be player development along with other Sens alumni. Stay forever and work with young players.

Alfie is not an nhl head coach so not sure why we would want him as one

 

[Golden_Jet]

Deadline is December 1st and one thing both parties can agree on is that they don't want Pinto sitting out for a year so we have about a month to get this done at this point

No, they can sign him in January, December 1 is for those RFA’s that can be offer sheeted.

So they offering DJ DJ Prosper’s job?

Jan Ruuta makes perfect sense, to name one.

 

[Cosmix]

Anyone have any idea what this was about?

https://x.com/LalimesMartian/status/1720543601615159386?s=20

Apparently the person writing the note does not know anything about it other than there is noise.

If you have to do it, you do it for a top pair RD, but then one of the 4 excellent Dmen are redundant.

I personally think that kind of trade is not gonna happen anytime soon. Instead, it's time to split the top line up and get the Tkachuk-norris-batherson line back together.

Funnily, the only thing that makes the top 9 not perfect to me personally is the fact that Tarasenko is a rw. Otherwise, that top 9 - especially with Pinto and now Greig - is f***ing dynamite and has no business looking like shit.

I think, hence the coach must go idea.

I agree that if the team is not in a playoff position by the 1st of December, then the coaching staff needs to be replaced. The problem is that there are few good choices during the season.

I think Bertuzzi is US bound next year. Came to play for 1 year where he thought he could put up big numbers.

He’s been benched a few times during games, and taken off top line, likely going to the US.

Perhaps. Perhaps not. We will see. Just a name I thought of to replace batherson with.

 

[scout20]

Trade Batherson & Kleven for Bowen Byram. Byram would solidify the Sens D he can play the left or right side. Sens would have one of the best D in the entire NHL.

No we need some players that are harder to play against on the third pair like Kleven.

I’d prefer to clone Klevin that move him.

 

[Bileur]

If they trade for a D he has to shoot right.

Ott: McDavid
Edm: Brady, Chabot, 2024 lottery pick

Not enough

Doesn't he have migraine issues after his concussions?

I wonder about the longevity of his career. Good young player though. A lot of potential. But a risk.
