It's a weaker class, but we should be able to get a good prospect if we finish in the 10-20 range.
Once you get into the bottom 3rd of the 1st, it starts to fall off pretty hard IMO.
Still giving up the 1st this year shouldn't be off the table if we end up making the playoffs.
Don't love that trade for Dallas
Granlund isn't exactly the kind of player who typically excels come playoff time. More of a regular season scorer and I question whether he'll put up the same kind of numbers in Dallas battling for offensive opportunity.
And Ceci is a bottom pairing guy. He'll probably knock Dumba out of the lineup, but won't make much of a difference.
Would have expected SJ to have to take on Dumba to get a 1st for Granlund and Ceci.

Why trade the 2025 1st? Forfeit it.

I can't see us waiting to give up the pick if we were apparently willing to give the league the Boston pick last year, and the league said no. That points to us valuing the cost certainty of giving up a late pick, even if we give it up earlier.
While I'd love to believe that we are the team that we have been for most of the last 30 or so games - there is so much parity in the league, and a lot of volatility with where teams finish year-to-year. I don't like the idea of using this year's pick on a trade or to select a player, and potentially giving up a top 16 lottery pick.
A name like Tanev or Donato makes sense, because those are players who won't cost a lot to acquire as rentals. Maybe a 2nd round pick. Tanev probably costs more then Donato, since most teams will want physicality for the playoffs.

That or wait a year, and keep on the NHL, so they get the same as NJ got, pick moved to last in the first round.
they said no, because it wasn’t the Sens pick.

Ott has a lot of LWs I doubt they need any more, they could use another RW or two. What are they going to do with all these LWs Perron, Highmore, Gregor, Cousins & Ostapchuk & a few more in Belleville who have already played in Ott?Clock ticking on Ottawa Senators with NHL trade deadline set for March 7

also a rhs. But anyways I'd trade the first this year for a player like Bjorkstrand or Rakell if they take Perron. We take the risk next season assuming we've improved a lot overall as a team especially if we upgrade in free agency.

Thanks, lol, not sure why I typed left, as the only reason I replied was because he’s righty, fixed.

Ugh I'd rather we not acquire a forward for the sake of it.
We need a top 6 scorer, not a guy like Tanev, and Donato is basically a rich man's version Gaudette.
The seems to be both a weak draft class and a sellers market. Wouldn't surprise me if both Tanev and Donato return 2nds.
We have a bad prospect pool, we have to give up a 1st this year or next, already traded next year's 2nd and gave away a 3rd and 4th in the offseason for no reason.
Hope Staios doesn't flush another pick down the toilet. Need to be smart with our asset management at this point.

Excellent names.
I feel very confident in our defense and goaltending.
Stutzle, Tkachuk, Norris, Batherson, Giroux are firm top 6s in this team's vision.
Ideally we get a Bjorkstrand/O'Reilly/etc but we dont have the assets.
But Donato/Tanev are hard-nosed players who will provide great depth and will play to the beat of this team. That's all we can ask for, they add added dimension needed of possession play in bottom 6 and hard-nosed style hockey.
I think we dangle a 3rd from next year and we'll be able to add a depth piece we will like.

100% was relevant lol, here is what I quoted from you, and told you they said no because it wasn’t a Sens pick.
I can't see us waiting to give up the pick if we were apparently willing to give the league the Boston pick last year, and the league said no.

He's just pointing out that they are willing to give up a later pick rather than wait it out. If this years pick is late they've already shown that they are willing to give it up rather than wait by offering the Boston pick last year, even though it was obviously turned down by the league.

Fine, I was just pointing out why the league said no, to doing it.
Does that make sense?
We may make the playoffs but are we a legit contender that is a Tanev/Donato away from being put over the top?
Why are we buying-high on a rental with a high pick that will only make a marginal difference when we have a bad prospect pool and few quality picks in the next couple years?

Agree, if Sens are giving up a pick for a player, it shouldn’t be anything more than one of their 3 thirds.
Cost will be a factor. Perron costs $4M whereas the others earn about $1M.
I doubt that Highmore and Gregor will be signed again.
Cousins if he heals well and Ostapchuk will likely earn another contract.

I agree, but how are you going to get rid of Perron & his contract ($4 mil) at his age & after such a poor yr given his circumstances? IMO all the UFAs should probably walk with the exception of Giroux who I would re-sign at a cheaper salary. I would also get rid of a few RFAs including Gregor.
Next yr I would promote Merilainen to replace Forsberg (UFA), Ostapchuk to replace Cousins (UFA) & Halliday to replace Gaudette (UFA). I would look to make a trade for McCarron C/RW at the trade deadline for our 4th line to replace Gregor on the roster. McCarron is a legitimate enforcer since MacEwan can't seem to stay in the lineup for whatever reason.
I would then look to sign a top six RW who can play our style like Boeser who knows Green. Both Yakemchuk RD & Montgomery LW should be in Belleville next yr & could be injury callups. The team is bigger, tougher, faster & has more offence while still playing great defensively & reducing goals against.
Which 6 players would you want on your team below Merilainen or Forsberg side?
Merilainen -> Forsberg UFA
Ostapchuk -> Cousins UFA
Boeser -> Gaudette UFA
McCarron -> Gregor RFA
Matinpalo -> Hamonic UFA
Halliday -> Highmore UFA
Tkachuk - Stutzle - Boeser
Giroux - Norris - Batherson
Greig - Pinto - Perron - Montgomery replaces Perron after next season
Ostapchuk - McCarron - Amadio/Halliday
Sanderson - Zub
Chabot - Jensen - Yakemchuk replaces Jensen after next season
Kleven - Matinpalo/JBD
Ullmark - Merilainen
