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

[SpezDispenser]

Well, his numbers will probably be better on Boston so he's better to sign a contract now than wait.

You can always demand a trade later.

Although....the Saros contract probably didn't do us any favours. How comparable are they? Pretty close IMO.

Funny how popular opinion just days ago was "let's trade 2 top 3 defencemen and go get two we really like"...now with july 2 still not here we're talking about paying 9 mill for a not vedy good ekblad. For me, chabot at 8 is quite a bit better than eckblad at 8.

Chychrun to Nashville

Fabbro to Tampa

Cernak to Ottawa

Have you checked in on Fabbro recently? Nashville was healthy scratching him last season. He's nowhere near an equivalent piece to Chychrun.

I dont think Ekblads value is that high and I dont think his next contract will carry too high of an AAV. It will probably be 2-4 years too long, but I think you cross that bridge when you get there.

He’d be an excellent addition

I don't see any reason to believe his next contract will be that short or at a low AAV. With the way he's trending, this will be his last chance to sign a big, long term contract. And with his pedigree and the RHD market being what it is, he'll be in a position to demand big money and long term.

I would love Desharnais on 3rd pairing

Big tough can move anyone out from the net fights can PK seems like a low key perfect fit for what we are looking for ?

I think the term will be long term, as I said, but he will get less money per year than this current contract.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

I'd want Ullmark locked in before we go there with Ekblad or another expiring contract for a prime time player. Don't want 2 contract grey clouds looming over the team that if both walked, would basically crater the teams future.

 

[bicboi64]

Ekblad isn't a top pairing guy anymore, but I'd love him in a Sens uniform. Dude is still a great PK guy and has good defensive IQ. Issue would be his next contract. Just can't imagine a trade with Ottawa-Florida where it makes sense, especially with Ekblad having a high cap hit that the Panthers would need to send a pick or two with to offset.

We'd just be in the same situation next summer - looking for a goalie as usual. Annoying as balls, but I'm not confident it would crater out future with the 7th OV coming up (probably], plus subsequent picks etc. I wouldn't do an expiring on right D if I could avoid it though - and if you do, don't pay much as we've already shot our shot on an expiring contract.

Again though...Korpisalo would have cost to unload and that's out of the way, so...as of the right meow, we should be able to navigate the waterways without any crazy shit happening.

My mistake - I read "2-4 years too long" as "2-4 years long".

 

[OttawaSenators11]

Kinda sucks about Tanev thought he was a perfect fit here.

We’ll probably end up with Carrier - Roy probably signing with Toronto ( if they miss on Tanev) or Detroit.

 

[Golden_Jet]

It's a speculation thread.

People speculate about the value of or circumstances surrounding trading players who aren't exactly available all the time.

Saying Utah would ask for Chabot not Chychrun because he has term shouldn't merit a "gotcha" reply.



So you're telling me it's going to be Ekblad for Weber?

Well last week you said once, it was a joke post on something, then another one said it was meant as sarcasm, now speculation.
It’s hard to tell with your posts.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Someone will go nuts for Ekblad and trade for him with a big buyout proof contract.

It would be in his best interests to sign somewhere and get paid given his injury history and that coming off of a cup win this is maybe the peak of his value.

He might be a good pickup for a contender as a rental. I would be worried about extending him but I would be fine with giving up some assets for him if I was a team like Toronto.

 

[PlayOn]

We’ll probably end up with Carrier with Roy signing with Toronto or Detroit.

I think Carrier would be good, the bigger issue might be if he doesn’t sign with us either.

Trade options are Marino, Ekblad and Trouba, but NTCs make that challenging too.

Why, did he re-up with Dallas as rumoured

I agree solely in the context of Ullmark. They would have all that cap space back and Korpisalo gone, so they could pivot. I meant in the scenario we also brought in Ekblad but couldn't sign either. I don't really want another 1 year contracted big time player brought in as it would bring a lot of uncertainty to have 2 core players expiring next summer.

On the new 32 Thoughts:

“Sounds like Tanev will come down to Dallas vs. Toronto with an outside shot of Vancouver”

No mention of Ottawa being a consideration.

I think it's implied in this thread that we are all speculating, unless you're actually Steve Staios or another plugged in person, like Spartacat.

I forget exactly what I said in the post you are referring to, but if I recall it was so incredibly over the top and tongue in cheek. With that said, I do agree that if I sometimes make jokes that aren't clear it can make it difficult to now when I'm kidding or not kidding, but that instance I think it just went way over your head because you were excited to find another message board gotcha moment.

I love being wrong on here because then I learn new things. You have corrected me on things in the last where you've been cool and helped me learn something that I didn't know, and I always appreciate when posters do that. But when you quote my posts that doesn't always seem to be the case. It seems like half the time it's an attempt at a message board gotcha moment.

I think we can all get along and be cool with each other, even if we disagree, or we don't all want Cody Ceci back on the roster.

That's rough. He would have been such a good fit here.

I'm surprised that Dallas is able to make it work cap wise. It will be interesting to see if he takes a discount in Dallas if that's where he goes.

I think we will have to go the trade route. I would be surprised if we attracted a Roy or Pesce.

My dream acquisition would be Weegar, but I doubt he is even available.

Sounds good to me, let those teams lock in to an old and injury prone dman.

I like what he brings, but there's considerable risk with that player.

 

[HSF]

not surprising with Tanev and Toronto. His dad still works in Toronto so he would be going home

Carrier kinda does feel like the last branch before falling off a tree, the drop off after him is significant. I've mentioned liking possibilities like Hakanpa, Lyubushkin, Desharnais but they aren't what I would want for a top-four role.

I do like the Marino option if the Devils end up being active in free agency and they need to shed money. He's just a run of the mill safe, minute munching defenceman who could slide in next to Chabot, or Sanderson honestly to round out the top-four. Assuming Chabot can stay close to healthy (massive if, I know) the team doesn't need a superstar to round out the top-four. $4.4M x 3 also looks a lot better on the sheets than whatever Tanev/Roy/Pesce are gonna get quite honestly.

This is a fair point, but I think the risk was worth the reward when you consider what an equivalent D with term might cost us in a trade, and the low likelihood of us getting one of the other top RHDs in free agency.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Man, why Toronto. Goodbye cup chances on that shell of a playoff team.

Obviously Ottawa sucks more, but losing in the 1st round with that team is all but guaranteed.
