Oilers cant fit both Norris and Batherson under their cap.Switch Pinto with Norris.

I don't think Brannstrom & a 1st will get us Andersson or Tanev either.Brannstrom has no value in a trade.
There is Pinto's money
There seems to always be a sub 1 mil goalie out there that's sevicable as a backup. I mean, we got Nilsson and Forsberg that way, Hellberg too.Either way we would need to find a replacement as Sogaard is developing very nicely and I’d be loathe to risk his development by bringing him up.
Pinto can subsidize his lower than expected contract with his gambling winnings...I'd expect Pinto to get a 1 year deal around $1M now.
Forsberg isn't going to get claimed if we waived him.
Has been trash this year, which wasn't entirely unexpected after double hip surgery, but he also wasn't terrific last year.
We'd probably need to add a pick/prospect to dump him.
Very interesting considering how many people here were claiming he was a much better option than Korpi after 1 GP this season
Both reactions are way too quick. Forsberg has been solid during his time in Ottawa, tough start to this year but there's lots of time for him to prove his worth. He also had a tough start to the 2021-2022 season and was one of the better goaltenders that year by a lot of metrics.
We need to start tying players worths to wins and making the playoffs. If he gets us in a massive hole early in the season but then plays well to finish the year or plays better when we are far out of it I would say he wasn’t worth much to usBoth reactions are way too quick.

DJ hasn't held players accountableI think that’s a cop out. DJ hasn’t held the players accountable so yes that’s on him. You may not like DJs system, that’s also fair. The players, some in particular, are also to blame. Stutzle’s giveaways in his own zone aren’t system issues, Batherson repeatedly turning the puck over at the opposition blue line isn’t a system issue, these are things that are taught from minor hockey on. We need a new coach but we need to shake up the roster as well.
I’m not arguing against replacing the coach but I think we need a roster shakeup as wellDJ hasn't held players accountable
Thats a huge part about coaching and was said that would happen this year
these guys don't take their mistakes seriously because they know no punishment is coming.
That's coaching. Also structure and not having the guys ready on time again the nucks
How many more defensemen does DJ need?
I would try coaching first and go from thereI’m not arguing against replacing the coach but I think we need a roster shakeup as well
Zadorov would look great on that bottom pair.
Another left but brings something out the sens’ D is severely lacking.
Zadorov's cap hit is $3.75 m.Zadorov would be good, but we don't have cap space, and we don't have a lot of picks or prospects to burn. I don't see them giving up a pick or a prospect for a potential rental when the team is last in the conference.
They would have to take Kubalik and retain. The only way it works is if there is zero market for Zadorov, and they just want to move on.
When did Forsberg have double hip surgery?Forsberg isn't going to get claimed if we waived him.

Forsberg didn’t have any surgeries or hip issues.Forsberg isn't going to get claimed if we waived him.

Why would we trade anything of value for a pending UFA? Especially for such a huge downgrade?Chabot for zadorov +
?
Nah we can’t trade chabot.
That was Korpisalo over a year ago.Forsberg isn't going to get claimed if we waived him.
