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

[Gil Gunderson]

Isn’t Montour looking for like $8M? I think With Melnyk and Dorion gone Bruce is just throwing stuff against the wall hoping something sticks.

Looking for and getting are very different. I can’t imagine any serious team team is going to offer him 8 million.

 

[Ouroboros]

Florida were giving Montour a crazy amount of powerplay time - like to the tune of 4+ minutes a night. Not sure how that would work in Ottawa with Sanderson and Chabot already in the mix.

I suppose beggars can't be choosers.

He’s getting overpaid for sure, but it’s weird how Florida won the Cup with just Forsling and a bunch of d-men who come with red flags. Panthers fans keep giving “buyers beware” opinions on Ekblad, Montour, and OEL.

Was this the weakest team to win the Cup or something?

I feel like Janmark is gonna fetch a lot more than that after the playoffs he just had.

He actually had a down year. He's been signing short term deals. Maybe if you give him some security you get him at a better price as he's 32 next year.

 

[OttawaSenators11]

We are looking at everyone that’s RD just like we were looking at the top goalies available
Let’s see if Bruce will ever break another trade or signing 1st this offseason - if he doesn’t he’s got no sources left with new management.

Bruce mentions Montour as another target for the Sens. He’s going to get overpaid because of last season, but f*** it. Sanderson-Montour and Chabot-Zub is good.

Why do you guys believe anything he says? Obviously they would be looking at him. He isn't coming here without a massive over pay.

He was pretty decent with Dorion lead management- I’m big time questioning him now that’s for sure.

No it’s just people romanticize winning teams. They’re perfect. All their d are the smartest D that win all board battles and block all shots and clear all creases. Yada yada.

I mean just look at the stats on the bruins defence that @Micklebot posted last week lol. They weren’t that great. And gave up a ton of high danger scoring chances.

 

[KnuckChuckinTkachuk]

Roy, DeBrusk and Foegele would be excellent pick ups. Hoping we go hard for them, especially Roy.

 

[NinjaSens]

The Sens may be unsuccessful in landing a top4 RHD in free agency or via trade. I did not watch many games last season and I don't remember if a Sanderson - Chychrun pairing was used. Sanderson could provide the defensive stability Chychrun needs. Could it work? If it was tried, how effective or ineffective were they.

 

[GCK]

Hakanpaa and Lybushkin really top 4 ? I’m not so sure about that

If we got both then you play each about 17 minutes on average with Zub taking the rest since PP time won’t see a RHD. I’d rather Roy but it’s still an upgrade.

I want Sanderson playing his game. Not a defensive game to shield Chychrun.

Utah

 

[Ouroboros]

Yeah, Friedman is saying Utah are expected to go hard on Montour if he hits the market.

Man. Don’t do this to yourself man lol.

I’m guessing dumba and like William carrier.

Wasn’t used. Would it work? Define work. I think it would be fine if the goalie stops some shots.

 

[SensFactor]

Damn Utah walking around like they own the NHL ... Its impressive

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Roy would make this a successful off season. I wouldn’t care what we get in return for Chychrun if we end up with Roy.

 

[Daffy]

If we don't get a top 4 right shot D, I think we should hang onto Chychrun. At least until the deadline.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Glad I missed the last 27 hours. Not a lot of happy faces in here. Draft disappointment followed by teams around us improving while our team strikes out over and over again.

Oh to be a Sens fan. Certainly not easy this time of year.

 

[Slippy]

If we don't get a top 4 right shot D, I think we should hang onto Chychrun. At least until the deadline.

Staios should set a price he is willing to accept and not move off of it. It will serve him well to play hardball and establish a reputation much like Sakic did with Duchene. The Sens don't HAVE TO move Chychrun and shouldn't unless they get an acceptable return. Send a message to the league that you're not going to be trifled with.

 

[h2]

Agreed. We can play this patiently to get what we want if we have to. Player value is inflated at the TDL.

 

[KnuckChuckinTkachuk]

Does Kaliyev, 2026 2nd and rights to Roy make sense for Chychrun? I'd do that tomorrow to negotiate with Roy.

Man. Don’t do this to yourself man lol.

I need to have higher standards for this mgmt and ownership group.

Negotiation rights are not sufficient. We need a signed contract.

The rights to Roy are only worth a 4th to 7th round type pick. They could be worth a bit more of LAK facilitate an 8 year sign-and-trade. I doubt the Senators want to go 8 years on Roy.

I don't think Kaliyev is worth a 1st round pick. Change it to Kaliyev, a protected 1st, and Roy for Chychrun and a late pick.

 

[KnuckChuckinTkachuk]

Can't sign until July 1st, getting his rights allows us to start that negotiation process before other teams.

If mgmt is confident in a contract offer, I would do it as long as Roy doesn't have any personal objections against coming here.

Sure. If they want Joseph included too, add him in.
