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

[Senator Stanley]

I think we can finally put to bed the idea that Bowness is a big Marino fan.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Marino for two 2nds? We don’t have much of an excuse here. How long is this RHD search going to last?

Once the 6'7 goon "fell" to 39th (surely shocking the Sens staff who had him ranked top 20) any chance of trading the pick for Marino was gone.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Or they just don't want Marino.

 

[Hale The Villain]

He paid large for Sergachev. Really big. He didn't steal him or anything, he just PAID TB huge.

Marino...he stole.

I don't consider Moser, Geekie and a 2nd a massive payment for a top pairing D in his mid-20s.

Good trade for both teams there.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Or they just don't want Marino.

Well they can enjoy JBD in the top 4 then.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Oh yeah I forgot the offseason ends on June 29th.

 

[Boud]

Marino had a poor season, I'm surprised he went for that much but that's the way it is with RDs.

 

[SpezDispenser]

I mean, it's certainly not giving him away, so it's more like Armstrong was prepared to trade major pieces where other GMs weren't, Perhaps not a "massive" overpay, but perhaps I'm not as enamored with Serg as others and his cap hit is quite healthy.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Typically it does when it comes to finding RHDs.

Whatever you say.

You go get those strawmans cowboy.

The only way the Sergachev trade is bad for Utah is if he loses a step after the injuries.

The fact that Tampa moved him after the injuries should be concerning.

His NMC is likely what expedited moving him. They weren't in a position to take it slow or wait because on July 1st he is there for life and if they approach him about a trade they aren't getting this kind of return.

It sucks for him to get voted off the island, but I would be excited about going to Utah as a young veteran like Sergachev, who has already won the cup and should have another 8+ years left in his career. Assuming their ownership is committed like the Vegas ownership was when they joined the league, Utah has everything they need to build a contender. They have the cap and assets to acquire legitimately any player in the league who is made available.

Tampa is on the decline with the age of their core. If Armstrong chooses the right young veterans to bring in, this could be a situation where Sergachev got a lifeboat off of a declining contender over to a new one. It seems like it would be an awesome challenge for a player who has the security of already having won the cup.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Not sure how teams don't beat two 3rds for Logan Thompson

27 year old starter with good numbers at every level and a cap hit under 1M

If we didn't trade for Ullmark I would have loved that deal for the Sens

We're fortunate the Leafs didn't take them up on that.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

You go get those strawmans cowboy

Loool, the strawman is claiming that it's only Marino or JBD for their options in the top 4. You guys are a little out there some times man, can't tell who's being serious or not.

 

[PlayOn]

It doesn’t feel like Ottawa’s gonna have much luck moving Joseph at this rate.

 

[Artanis]

Wouldn't be surprised to see Chychrun to LA today at some point.

True, there’s also Hamonic and Brannstrom.

On Marino, it’s useful to note that Travis Green made him a healthy scratch during his tenure in NJ and he’s a defenseman who routinely gets bullied.

He’s a decent 2nd pairing guy if he’s with a stay at home defenseman who can take care of the play down low and in front of the net, but he’d be a terrible partner for either Chabot or Sanderson.

If we can’t be in the mix on Tanev or Roy, I think we’d be much more interested in a Haakanpa or Lyubushkin.

That’s more of what Chabot needs so he can rove.

He's probably like an 84 overall in NHL 24 though, and every player that Ottawa doesn't trade for is automatically good, so they're wrong for not making that trade.

Also it's common knowledge that Marino is the only RHD that Ottawa is allowed to acquire, so this now means that Harmonic and JBD will be sharing top 4 duties this season.

Marino apparently has zero interest in coming to any Canadian city.

lots of movement on the floor between LA and Ottawa

Officially, all of Marino's missed games this season were due to injuries (upper body under Green) or illness (prior to Ruff getting fired)

Give me Trevor Moore lol

Huh I had read Devils fans mention he was held out for play related reasons. Maybe it was a minor injury and they made a man assumption about the “real” reason. With that said, it does sound like he really regressed last year.

Staois trying to find a way to send an unprotected 1st for Andreas Englund.
