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

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Instead of trading for Debrincat, I would have taken on the Monahan cap dump in 2022 ngl.

 

[DrEasy]

Is there no potential offensive d men in Europe right now that could come over

Lassi Thomson!

 

[GCK]

Definitely. Much better player offensively, and this team desperately needs scoring

Only RW we have in the entire organization is Batherson, everything else is just mismatched junk we are playing above where they should be

If I’m moving a big young Right Handed Centre I want a RD in return.

 

[LiseL]

Yeah and then you have no 3C, so you gotta go find one unless you’re trusting Greig in that role which might not be wise just yet.

IMO the team needs one really good winger still but if I’m prioritizing where to spend money it’s on the defense. If the sens could create any offense from the backend they could live with this forward group.

It's sad that they're spending to the cap yet still have so many holes to fill with no really good prospects in the pipeline other than Yak.

 

[Laphroaig]

Boston have put Alex Regula on waivers. Twenty four years old, right shot defenseman, 6'4" 211lbs and a plus 36 last year in the AHL. I think this guy would be a very sensible waiver pick up. I suspect he'd be an improvement on both Hamonic and JBD at virtually no cost.

Hamonic yes, JBD, no.

Absolutely a guy they should be putting a claim in on.

Too good to be true? He has no 2024-25 stats on hockeydb.com, that's weird.

So I guess he was just re-activated; could be rusty. Might be better to just wait for Zub to be back.

Knee injury. I'm sure the thought is he will pass through given zero games - but f*** it, we have a roster spot and can handle the cost. Rehab him, Hammer out when Zub returns, let JBD battle it out with him for the bottom pairing, play the loser on the 4th line RW! Cousins, fired into the sun.

 

[Micklebot]

Absolutely a guy they should be putting a claim in on.

How many PIMs does he have...

 

[Blotto71]

How many PIMs does he have...

This year? Zero. But word is he took a double-minor once, in bantam.

I'd die of happiness. Having a player raised in my hometown playing for my favourite team would've been an absolute pleasure

Monahan would have also been an excellent locker room guy unlike DeBrincat, and we could have gotten an additional piece for him at the trade deadline last year if things went south.

Wouldn't hurt to have a guy like that in Belleville either. He has 26 points in 55 games so he's not just a pure shutdown guy either.

Unfortunately the Oilers claimed him today. Passing on Regula is something we may well regret.

 

[Boud]

I don't know enough about Regula to say if it's good or bad that we didn't claim him but I think we need more than a waiver wire pick up on defense to make a difference.

We need a guy who can come in and be the solid link on his pair, a guy who can legitimately help Kleven for example. We need a guy who can skate and be reliable every night. Nothing too fancy but still.

JBD/Hamonic in my opinion should be the 7th/8th Ds on this team and jump in when Zub gets injured.

Hamonic absolutely. I think if JBD is your 6th best Dman you have a strong team, even as your 5th best, JBD is fine. The issue is when JBD is your 4th best Dman... Yikes. And as of now he is our 4th best Dman.

How do the Sens, a team looking for depth at RD, not put a claim in on this guy?!

Is he better than Mantipalo or Guenette? If so, what makes you believe that to be the case?

I honestly had never heard of him before someone brought him up as a potential waiver claim, had you?

I had definitely heard of him but I guess if you haven't he must be crap.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

only 24, has produced at every level, big, rd.

Hamonic is really f***ing things up for us.

crazy how much a league min nmc can hurt.

even without an nmc we would need a coach that would willingly to put him in the press box for a period of time, the downside of the consistent preaching of veteran leadership

Hmm, interesting take,

Mine is that I don't know enough about him to judge whether he's crap or not, and I'm impressed by those who know enough about him to be so sure we missed out on him, so I figured maybe they could fill me in, since so far all I've seen is his hockey DB Statline.

I asked why people think he's better than what's in our system, seemed like a fair question to ask about a guy Boston waived and 20 teams passed on claiming.

Maybe he's great, idk.

that's the thing though. considering what we have he doesn't have to be great, not even good.

just okay would be amazing.
