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

[Senator Stanley]

Our team still looks soft who is doing the fighting ? Brady ?

Add Lomberg or VD for toughness

Somebody tell Zach MacEwen he was signed to be a fighter.

 

[Blotto71]

Until Norris returns and looks like Lee Majors - the f***in' six million dollar man - fighting sasquatch, I won't believe he's a tough sneeze away from never playing hockey again.

 

[Dionysus]

Am I going f***ing crazy but I am liking the signings and players we have brought in compared to the rest of everyone here. Compared to the crazy amount of term and $ that is being spent by other teams, this seems like a more smart approach. Roy would have been amazing but I ain’t giving Tanev 6 years or Marshessault 5 years.

The team seems more well balanced and has better depth than it did a day ago.

I get the Chychrun return is underwhelming but assuming that was the best return that was offered.

This is a better team than the one that ended the season last season (Pending a Pinto signing of course)

Kind of do as well. Team is somewhat hamstrung by all the big contracts at the top. Needed some change in the bottom 6. Wouldn't be surprised if Joseph is dealt over the summer. Maybe another depth piece or two signed when the market cools down.

 

[Emerica]

Would love Hakanpaa to pair with Kleven. Twin towers on the bottom pair

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Right back at move Joseph to sign Pinto

Norris' shoulder status being uncertain

Right back to last summer

Lomberg gone to CGY 2x2

Right back at move Joseph to sign Pinto

I'm sure people will be as kind to Staios as they were to Dorion for this conundrum.

Atleast Dorion signed Tarasenko instead of Perron.

He looked like a shell of his former self last year. Not only does he need to get healthy enough to play, he needs to there mentally. You can't have your second line centre* playing as soft has he played last year.


*Pinto should be the long-term second line centre, but alas.

 

[SensFactor]

I swear they have 9 Dmen now

https://x.com/i/web/status/1807827229788762569

UTAH signs another D

We got $4.4 million left without any further trades or buyouts per capfriendly

 

[SpezDispenser]

+1. If I'm staois, I'm doing this exact thing.

Peddle your BS somewhere else Pierre.. or is it DJ ,,, same boat ,

 

[Wallet Inspector]

See Matt Roy sign for 5.5 makes me wish we could have offered him 6-6.5, but there's a good chance that he didn't want to play in Canada.

 

[Ouroboros]

This guy's career has really taken off since getting away from Brannstrom.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Its July 1st. So long as we dont add a Kubalik-like contract we should have no problem fitting Pinto in

A few years ago sure, but Hakanpaa is pretty washed up now. He missed a lot of time last year with a knee injury and Dallas fans think he was the worst player on their team.

I'd be cautious.

 

[Masked]

I don't get the fascination with DeHaan.

He wants to play here.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

good get for Buffalo

https://x.com/i/web/status/1807832896625058229

Sens don't have a lot to play with $ wise. Why can't they move Joseph?

 

[L'Aveuglette]

I guess this has to be it for Ottawa this off-season considering where we're at with the cap?

If so, I see very little improvement going into next season except in goal. I like what Perron brings but we're still lacking a top-6 forward and any sort of third D pairing. Not to mention Pinto not being signed yet sounds ominous(if he's gone we're basically f***ed). Jensen is "meh" as they come and we still don't know if Chabot can stay healthy and regain some stability. Edit: We're also banking on Norris being a #1-2 C which is a hell of a gamble.

Hoping I'm missing something here but as it stands, and with how much our division(and the East in general) is improving, I have very little hope of us making the playoffs any time soon.

 

[Senovision]

I wish the sens would acquire some toughness. They don't seem to value it. It puts way too much on the shoulders of one player brady Tkachuk when every player on our team looks to brady to do all of the fighting and hitting. Good teams that make the playoffs and go deep into the playoffs have many players that hit and play a physical style of hockey. It's a team sport and you need to have a team of player's that will follow Brady's lead. But if you are being honest there are no hitters or fighters of any note on this team.

 

[Masked]

Our team still looks soft who is doing the fighting ? Brady ?

Instead of fighting, Perron will just crosscheck 'em in the face.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

I think the implication with De Haan is that he is a veteran #6-#7 who people assume would sign here for an appropriate AAV because he is from the area and has been Tweeting his CV at Senators fans.

He shouldn't be an everyday player. He played for near league minimum the previous two seasons. I don't see the issue of bringing him in on a six figure contract to play that #6-7 spot if we have it open and don't have an option we're happy with internally.

 

[Icelevel]

What a total FAIL

Optimism crushed.
Even with Ullmark addition. Now I’m not sure that he’ll want to stay.
Terrible start Steve.

This is the golden goose though, not some small thing. We massively upgraded our goaltending from league worst last year Mr. Korpisalo and no longer have his contract hamstringing the team.

Like it or not, we have Hamonic occupying the exact same role.
