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

[Alex1234]

In all seriousness, Dobson would be a great candidate to try and acquire, but is there room for him in the system? A new contract will be $8 million at the least and we already have Yakemchuk in the system as an RD offensive defender. Dobson would play behind Zub and Jensen right now, but we can always move Zub or Jensen to the third pairing. We would have an stacked D but I feel like Dobson is a luxury right now.

Great player, just not sure if he'd be the right fit here.

Jensen will be 35 in September
Will need a replacement sooner than people think

and we have zero idea how soon Yakemchuk will be close to as dependable defensively .. so yes he is a body we can add as soon as next year but it would not be to replace what Jensen brings

if Tuch is avaliable I wonder if they would take Batherson as a swap

I'd do that in a heartbeat

Not sure what that accomplishes for us.

But even if Staios wanted to do that Tuch's NTC would likely prevent it from happening.

When was the last time a player blocked a trade OUT of Buffalo?

Batherson probably has negative value at the moment.

He isn't very expensive sure, but he also does nothing except score in bursts every now and then.

Just because he doesn't want to be in Buffalo doesn't mean he'll waive his NTC to Ottawa, when there would be plenty of other options, like Tampa Bay, who are rumoured to be interested in him.

But for the record Tuch is from Buffalo, so he may be a rare exception of someone who doesn't mind playing there.

In no world does he have negative value. If we were to trade him, we're getting a 1st rounder and an A prospect.

60-point big-bodied wingers with two more years left at $5 million aav who are 26 are very valuable right now.

Is everyone taking crazy pills when it comes to Batherson?

He makes less than 5M a year and he's got 44 points in 55 games.

Pure insanity to think he has negative value.

not a chance

Or McMichael over Thomson

Or Peterka over Jarventie

Or Zadina over Tkachuk

Or Drysdale over Sanderson

Or Kaliyev over Pinto.

No one's denying the scouts have made some good picks but they're made blatantly bad ones too.

And it's not because of "hindsight" either, Boucher, Thomson and Jarventie were drafted way higher than the general consensus, and none of them worked out.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

Batherson is really annoying when he isn't scoring but at the same time we can't really talk shit about him when he is making almost half of Brady's salary and 1m more than Perron.

Ottawa is closer to Buffalo than TB though.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Ottawa is closer to Buffalo than TB though.

Buffalo is actually really close to Buffalo too

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Ottawa is closer to Buffalo than TB though.

Yeah in terms of lack of success

 

[Loach]

Yeah in terms of lack of success

Get out

I'd drive him to Buffalo myself

Rumeur : Erik Karlsson à Ottawa

Avec le plafond salarial qui est en hausse, ça fait en sorte que plusieurs joueurs qui étaient jugés «inéchangeables» pourraient, ultimement, devenir des options dans certaines équipes. Du lot?
