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

[darude]

I'd love to have Karlsson back on the team but the only way that happens is on the cheap and if we move one of Chabot or Sanderson. He's not gonna be effective on the third pair, and you don't wanna recreate the situation last year of having three offense-first guys in your top four.

I don't think I'd do either of those deals because they're not good for 2-5 years from now.

 

[Icelevel]

People are really talking about Karlsson?
Don’t mean to offend but get a life. Stop clogging these threads up with nonsense.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Dreger today in the pre-game show said he expects Nashville to be buyers after Thanksgiving/trade deadline as they have a lot of draft capital and prospect pool. From what I've read, they seem to have too many shooters, not enough playmakers or players who can get them the puck.

They need centers..

Bryan Rust for Perron+?

I think that's an upgrade.

Dude just got settled here and just had a newborn with pretty serious medical issues…

Maybe give it a month then.

That’s a start lol

You for futures?

I think that's a big win.

 

[BUCKLE UP]

Lets give Perron a chance before we throw him into proposals lol

Trading Perron right now would be unforgivable. There’s things more important than hockey.

 

[Senscore]

Vegas would do it

 

[Qward]

Vegas is able to do that because they are a desirable market to play in.

 

[GoSenatorsGo]

You do that to Perron and good luck trying to attract anyone else to come here, it’ll do more bad than good.

 

[OD99]

Plus cap space wouldn't work. I'd trade Norris, Greig, and a 1st for Barzal though.

Gross.

Barzal is one of the most overrated players in the NHL. Has a cap hit over $9M for 7 more years, can't stay healthy, and is a peripheral player.

He can skate and handle the puck, but he doesn't do nearly enough for that money.

 

[dumbdick]

Ouch Loach. Savage.

...or they're assholes

Why not both?

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Perron hasn't even had a chance to play.

It's fairly obvious why his level of performance during the start of the season might have been diminished.

With that said, people need to understand that it is not realistic for every player signed to always meet or exceed the price of their contract. Especially UFAs. It was very obvious that we overpaid Perron because we needed veterans with his intangibles and compete. Similar to Chicago overpaying Foligno the last few seasons. So if you expect him to produce like a 4M player the next two years, you're more than likely not going to be happy with the contract - but I don't think that was the entire point of signing him.

If we had a stronger room, maybe overpaying to get veteran leadership wouldn't have been worth it. But given the state of our team, the complete changeover that Staios tried to execute with the secondary and tertiary players makes sense. You also have to factor in that we're Ottawa, not Vegas, Dallas, Florida Team 1 or 2, or Nashville. So we're always going to have to overpay to get UFAs.

What is the value of David Jiricek?

Is it closer to Yakemchuk, or closer to Greig? Are his struggles because of bad fit, or has he fallen in value since being taken high?

Would he be a fit here? RHD on an ELC who can step in right now?

His strengths and weaknesses are roo similar to yakemchuk.

It should be close to Greig based on his play, but the lack of quality RD in this league makes me think Jiricek's value would be higher.

Don't think there's a fit here. Yakemchuk is too similar as a prospect and it's possible he could be ready as soon as next year.

 

[bicboi64]

Would love to get Jiricek but don't think we have the assets to make that type of deal with the BJs unless Waddell goes full Dorion on them and takes a horrible package surrounding Boucher, Ostapchuk or JBD.

 

[TheNewEra]

if we are in/near a playoff spot around the trade deadline i dont see us making a crazy move (unless someone is available for dirt cheap)

Possibilities
a move for a RD that is on an expiring deal (with JBD probably being a piece sent in return)
3rd line winger to push amadio down to line 4

since we arent ever going to scratch hamonic, getting a a better forward for that third line might be the best move. Then said forward either works with Pinto or we shuffle it around and bring greig back to line 3

I don’t see how they’re similar.

Not saying I would give up the farm for jiricek but he’s not like yakemchuk. And it wouldn’t be bad to start thinking about life after Jensen.
