That's what almost a decade of having an absolute Muppet of a GM does to a mfer. We've been conditioned to bend over and sigh anytime a trade is mentioned.

Ok... so this is where we stand:
Tkachuk-Stu-Giroux
Greig-Pinto(RFA)-Batherson
???-Norris-Joseph
Kelly(RFA)-Ostapchuk-MacEwen
Sanderson-Zub
Chabot-??? (Chychrun for now)
Kleven?-JBD
Hamonic
Ullmark
Forsberg
Assuming Chychrun is moved, we have ~14 mil to:
1. Re-sign Pinto, and Kelly
2. Sign/acquire a top 4 RHD
3. Get a middle 6 winger
4. Add depth to create competition for the 4th line and bottom pair D.
Pinto likely costs ~3-3.5 for a bridge, 5-5.5 with some term
Kelly about 1 Mil
A top 4 RHD 4.5-5.5?
A middle 6 winger ~3.5?
I could see Joseph, JBD getting moved as well.

I still can’t shake the feeling Chabot could move by July 1st. Culture change, Jacques comments, 8M AAV, trade protection coming. I prefer him to Chychrun but ….

It's possible, although he has a yr left on his $2.750 mil deal which is managable. He could also be a deadline deal next season if a team needs a goalie & who knows if or when Sogaard can be an NHL backup. Regardless, I doubt he is re-signed after his deal is done, I expect a new backup to start the following yr.
This is pretty solid projection as we sit here at this time.
That fourth line will be interesting this year. Do they go heavy and wear opposition down or go fast and wear them out.??
I can see guys like Ostapchuk, Kelly, Crookshank, MacEwen, Smejkel getting a solid look. I remember Jarventie getting some good results as a centre last year, and guys like Rees, Halliday and Highmore, even Chartier, will have lots of motivation to show they belong as well.
Going to be interesting to witness who steps up.

If they were able to sign A.Carrier/RD and a 3rd liner, some depth 1-1.5 million pieces and move out Chychrun for futures, I'd honestly consider the Dorion era completely eradicated, and the Sens on the road to relevance.

Okay, maybe the worst is behind us...?
Don't know what kind of dollars will be available once the dust clears, but what are thoughts on Sam Lafferty as a UFA target? Can fill out the 3rd line and move up on occasion if needed.

Lafferty would be a good get. I'm wondering how ticked off the Jets are with McGroarty. Package him with a D like Demelo? What would we give back?
Blotto71

Would Chychrun + Joseph get McGroaty + Barron? Sens need to add pick?
Edit: I don't think the Jets have an abundance of D to trade.

I wonder if Carolina could be a good landing spot for Chychrun.
Good team, low taxes, he'd probably be open to re-signing at a nice rate.
Sounds like they're moving on from Pesce and Skjei, and they only have Orlov for 1 more season. Plus Burns is 39.
Jack Drury could be a nice add for the bottom 6, alongside some picks.

If they successfully move Chabot, the interesting part is that they would turn over the entire D core in one season, except for Sanderson and Zub.
As far as we know, Hamonic, Brannstrom, JBD, and Chychrun are not coming back.
I think that Chabot's AAV might look less unappealing on the trade market after GMs see what UFA defenseman get under the rising cap. More importantly, Chabot doesn't require a 5-8 year type commitment like the top UFA D. He only has 4 years remaining.
Have to think that sets the market for Tanev, Pesce and Roy. Those guys are looking at ~6M now.

This is good for the Senators if they are going after Tanev. It is a bit lower than expected. He is 31 years old. Tanev is 34.
Unless a team like Utah offers Tanev an inflated 1 year deal, I can't see him costing much more than that. He also may not want to take a 1 year deal because then he will have to sign next year as a 35+ player.
The big selling point will be term. I think he comes in somewhere between 4.5-5.5, but we offer him more years and security than another team.
I agree with Tanev and Roy. I don't think for Pesce. I think perception wise, Pesce is considered a tier above Demelo.
I think that Demelo is still hurt by his odd career trajectory, where he put it together late in his career after being a 7th D on the Sharks. He is coming off of a very strong year, but his usage in WPG has been up and down throughout his time there, while Pesce has consistently been a top pairing defenseman for the better part of the past decade.
Pesce will get 7M+ with term.

Church run to Chicago is a hot rumour because of the Chychryn/Richardson family connection and how many draft picks can Chicago have? They need a LD a on a big way and Chychryn seems like a perfect fit there.
Tanev is getting north of $6 - it’s the market not the stats. And to bring him from Dallas no taxes etc I don’t think you get him to Ottawa for $5 - and Staois seals the deal with a promise to unite him with his brother

I feel like we gotta go the trade route anyway with our cap situation
Unless we move Chychrun and Joseph for picks

I wonder if there are hockey trades to be made with some of the teams excess now. This seems like a regime that wants to hoard draft picks and keep most of the prospects currently in the system.
Something around Joseph/Boucher/Sokolov/Brannstrom/JBD/Forsberg for some of the rumoured names (Laughton/Farabee/B.Tanev/Kaliyev/ect) seems like something that could still make sense for Ottawa.
