[GCK]

If the team wants to retool, Chychrun is probably easier to move and get a good return than Chabot.

Things might change with the cap going up, but it might be difficult to get full value for a player signed at 8M for 4 more seasons, who has been up and down the last few years because he has been pushed to play too many minutes on teams with bad defense cores.

The thing is, trading Chychrun doesn't send as much of a message, or really change the core. He has been a Senator for less than a year. Tkachuk, Norris, Stutzle, Chabot, Batherson, etc - those are the players who have been around the entire time. Trading one of them sends a real message and depending on who they bring in to replace them, might change the complexion of the group.

It’s not about easier to move or better return. If the team decides to move one of Chychrun or Chabot it should be based on which one the team wants to keep.

Batherson + Chychrun vs Karlsson

Batherson + Chychrun vs Karlsson

Sens can afford Karlssons cap vs Chychrun or Chabot.

A Chychrun extension likely puts him at 8.5M give or take.

Not that I am advocating for either swap, but it's close to cap in/out of it's Chabot, and close to it the year after next if it's Chychrun. If it's Chychrun, Pittsburgh could take Forsberg.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

Batherson + Chychrun vs Karlsson

we can get karlsson +++ for that.

the best thing about karlsson is that you're getting a world class talent who makes his linemates better for not very much.

 

[BUCKLE UP]

Don't get me hyped for EK again. Sign me up

 

[Puikiou]

Batherson + Chychrun vs Karlsson

Karlsson will be 34 years old in May and carries a 10M caphit. Pittsburgh acquired him for a collection of mediocre cap dumps. This is crazy.

 

[TonySoprano11]

Batherson + Chychrun vs Karlsson

I'd prefer Kubalik + Chabot for Karlsson

 

[ottawagm]

I think we would probably be better off sending one of our D to another team and then using some of that package for Karlsson... he won't get too much more than a 1st+prospect if he's coming with a 10M hit.

Chabot no touch

 

[GCK]

Tank is a solid vet and the only guy with a cup, and a key component of that cup win.

I want him to stay if we can swing it.

 

[HSF]

I always find it weird when people shit on arguably the best Senators ever and HHOF lock.

We could definitely use him. The contract is a solid argument against but no one on this roster would out match him even at this age.

More players on this team could use the drive that Karlsson has

I would go after Tanev. Apparently Toronto already knows they can sign him.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

IMO this is going to be a slower burn wrt to player changes. There could be a move when Pinto comes in, but I think they go to the TDL ; move the UFAs , try to move Brannstrom and wait it out to the summer.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

The deal that makes the most sense would be Chabot+Forsberg for Karlsson+Nedeljkovic.

There needs to be an equalizer in there for cap, and Pittsburgh is unlikely to retain. With Sogaard knocking on the door, Forsberg makes the most sense to move out. That makes it close to cap in/out in 24-25 (Chabot+Forsberg out, Karlsson+Sogaard recalled in).

The only reason that I think Pittsburgh would say no would be if they are going to rebuild. The liability of Karlsson's decline seems greater to me than the liability of Chabot's current struggles. Chabot also might be easier to move if they decide to go into a rebuild after Crosby, since Chabot doesn't have a NMC.

I am not endorsing this trade, but if the ownership group wants to make a splash with the season ticket holders, while also sending a message to this (so far) failed core, moving out the longest tenured member of the core while bringing back the former captain would certainly be a shakeup.

Hey now, I had a hand in it too and will always seek to perpetuate EK to Ottawa rumors, where's my kudos?

I wanted to bump my old EK65 is coming home thread but it's locked.

Last year the Penguins record after 30 games was 18-8-4 and this year with Karlsson is 14-13-3 .
I don't think he is the "needle mover" you all think he is.

 

[dpw]

I just have this feeling it's inevitable with Alfie in the fold now. Either this season or the off season.

Chabot for Karl + 2nd.

 

[branch]

Bring him back you cowards

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Where are EK rumors coming from

Agent Zub is obsessed with EK

 

[SensHulk]

Doubt it happens in season but if we miss the playoffs (and it’s looking like it), this could be a ‘shakeup’ type of move that the sens could make. Has to be Chabot or chychrun going the other way though. My preference is Chabot only because he’s been here the longest and a message likely needs to be sent (plus he’s more derivative with karlsson and Sanderson in the fold)

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Where are EK rumors coming from

I was watching the game closely and I saw Alfredsson mouth the word "Erik", but come to think of it he may have just been talking to Erik Brannstrom.

 

[Crosside]

I wonder if posters read all before posting something
