My mistake, thank you, that's 3C (Dickinson)

Google-Ergebnis für https://media.tenor.com/phDXqKl3exUAAAAM/reunited-peaches-and-herb.gif

so a 3c, an expiring winger who is having a very similar season to norris and blah for norris and blah x3

honestly seems like we are selling norris for cheap, considering he plays an important position (centers and RD's always get the value bump), signed for term and if the cap does go up anywhere near the projected 9 million then the contract goes from a slight issue to no issue

plus its not like we can sign FA's unless its one that specifically wants to come to ottawa so i dont see the full on urgency to open up the money either

If you don't open up money you won't have it to make a splash. I don't think Staios shares my view, I'm simply sharing mine with the rest of the arm-chair-gm's. I do think making a deal like this signals to FA's that you are in it to win it, and maybe that has some impact when trying to attract gunslingers. The benefits are the 3C (Dickinson) is locked in for another year, and Kurashev is having an abysmal season going into RFA - so even if he turns it around, the numbers won't be great and there's an opportunity to go with a 1yr show me deal. Hall is hasta luego no matter what. Worst case, the Sens get a properly compensated 3C and free up some cap space.

actually seems like the worst case is, Sens get worse.

for sure, i do follow the logic of what your trying to do/say but the thing is the chances of us getting an impact fa to sign with us is extremely low

just good fa's i can think off recent memory
giroux (wanted to come because of family)
hasek/gonchar (was when we were elite which we are not close to)
todd white (again home town guy, also him being on the list is concerning lol)
macarthur (definitely upped his value in ottawa)
kovalev (wouldnt exactly call him a good signing but needs a mention)
zub (was an international guy but this list looked depressing so im adding him)
tarasenko

That list as a whole is depressing. So if we do the Norris trade in theory, we will have to turn around and trade more assets to add to the team to replace the impact of Norris and then Hall via FA

I get you. I'm a guy though that goes into a company and manifests change, so that's what I'm suggesting here - make a case to draw FA's.

I don't think Dickinson for Norris, plus Kurashev and cap space is "worse".

that’s your opinion, I disagree.

You opened 3.7 million, minus whatever RFA gets. Looks worse than having Norris imo.
