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

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

He does a lot of good things ; just not putting up points; Same with Greig; Same with Perron when he was playing. No Ottawa Senator coach would sit Amadio for MacKewen.

Ya, he does all the little things right, but needs to produce a little more. I think it'll come. Put up a couple apples recently at least.

I wonder if Brock Boeser RW will hit the open market & what the Sens could do to entice him to Ott? My guess is that he will stay in Van or go down south to play for the highest bidder. He would be a very interesting Trade Deadline acquisition although Van will likely be a playoff team & be a buyer rather than trade anyone off there roster especially him.

We can’t afford to overpay for anyone at this point.

Tough to compete IMO with the low tax states.

I imagine we’d look for another Tarasenko / Perron type who is past his prime but is affordable and may want to play here.

Mangiapane for a reasonable contract is my go to.

Washington is one of the more interesting stories in the league right now.

Very curious to see what happens.

 

[GCK]

I've been toying with the idea of Pinto with Tkachuk & Stu.

1: Tkachuk - Stu - Pinto
2: Giroux- Norris - Batherson
3: Perron - Greig - Amadio
4: Gregor - Gaudette - Cousins/MacEwen
Ex: Cousins/Macewen

1: Sanderson - Zub
2: Chabot - Jensen
3: Kleven - JBD/Hamo
Ex: JBD/Hamo

1: Ullmark
2: Forsberg

Pinto is a right handed centre. He is made to play in the middle, moving him to wing would be awful IMO.

I'd love to sign him in the offseason, but money may be tight if we're also re-signing Giroux.

 

[Keli]

Can we afford ehlers in the open market?

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Can we afford ehlers in the open market?

We would either have to

1. Not re-sign Giroux
2. Trade Perron(if we want both Giroux and Ehlers).

 

[Loach]

What the heck? Trade him, sign that guy, blah blah blah. There is a cap aswell ya know? Bunch of kooks! Let the boys cook.

 

[TheNewEra]

if Greig or Perron cant fit with the top line then we do need a winger. We have good forward depth but that is a piece that is missing

Tkachuk-Stutzle-Greig/Perron
Giroux-Norris-Batherson
Greig/Perron-Pinto-Amadio
Cousins-Gaudette-Gregor/Macewen

after deadline if we are in a playoff position
Tkachuk-Stutzle-X
Giroux-Norris-Batherson
Perron-Pinto-Greig
Cousins-Gaudette-Amadio
Gregor/Macewen

targets (making cap work is going to be interesting): Hall, Palmieri, Mantha, Kuzmenko, Granlund

 

[Tuna99]

Can we afford ehlers in the open market?

Small soft player isn’t in our culture IMO. Why sign Ehlers when you could sign Adam Gaudette?

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Mangiapane for a reasonable contract is my go to.

I wanted mangiapane the summer we got debrincat.

Would like him. Could be a great compliment to Brady and stu

Can we afford ehlers in the open market?

I don’t see how.

Giroux may take a pay cut.

But the way we are structured. No more star player contracts

 

[DueDiligence]

Giroux may take a pay cut.

Giroux should come in around $3 million per year for 2 years if he wants to stay.

 

[TheNewEra]

Giroux should come in around $3 million per year for 2 years if he wants to stay.

may not seem like it but giroux is a ppg right now. Even if he ends up with 60 points like last year he is going to be getting 4.5-5 million per year minimum imo

I don’t think we should be spending the assets for a big ticket addition like this unless maybe it’s the perfect fit.

Boeser will cost 1st+. We need our picks to ensure we have a wave of young guys coming up to provide cap flexibility in the future.

I don’t particularly like the fit either. I think we need more workers and physicality and our PP is doing fine with our shooters.

Agreed. We don't seem to be having too much trouble scoring goals. Perron coming back should provide a little secondary scoring too.

If we're contenders at the deadline we need to bolster the third pair D. I know people have been rosy about them but I think they're our biggest weakness. A veteran, preferably who could play both sides in a pinch would be my target.

Ott: Brad Marchand
Bos: 2nd round pick

Has Sweeney had a lobotomy I don't know about or what?

 

[DueDiligence]

may not seem like it but giroux is a ppg right now. Even if he ends up with 60 points like last year he is going to be getting 4.5-5 million per year minimum imo

And he was really poor in the final 30 games last year. He'll be 37 in January so I wouldn't be giving him a $5 million dollar deal.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Ott: Brad Marchand
Bos: 2nd round pick

maybe add a small bag of chips

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I’m thinking 5 and then 4

So 4.5 AAV

 

[TheNewEra]

im not giving him more than 2 years

and unless the drop off repeats itself its hard to use that against a player who's body of work is there

now if he wants 3-4 years then yes the cap hit is going be lowered, if he ends up with 50 points the cap hit is going to be lowered but unless those things happen its hard to do so

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Giroux could get 5+, whether from here or somewhere else.

 

[Tuna99]

Has Sweeney had a lobotomy I don't know about or what?

It worked with the Ullmark trade. Staois ruined the Bruins once, he could do it again
