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

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

There was talk that Grier was trying to spin the Zetterlund trade into a big package deal for Norris.

I wonder if Mario Ferraro was one of the names involved. If he is open to re-signing in Ottawa, I wonder if they would revisit him in the summer.

Maybe something like Chabot for Ferraro and picks+prospects. It would upset people with how Chabot is playing, but Jensen isn't going to be here forever and the value of Chabot at 9.5M in real dollars is diminished when we have Sanderson to man the top PP unit.

I'm convinced that Staios is going to dismantle Dorion's build one piece at a team, with the exception of the few guys who fit the mould of the kind of team he is trying to build. It doesn't seem like he has looked at what Dorion gave him and said I will fill in the blanks and build a team around the Dorion's idea of what it should be on the ice and culturally in the room, it looks like he looked at Dorion's team and said my idea of what the team should be is x, so anybody who doesn't fit that mould is getting traded, even if they are a good player on paper (see Chychrun for Jensen, which most would consider a huge downgrade on paper, but was an upgrade in terms of fit).

Who cares about real dollars.

Chabot is not going anywhere. Jensen will either be signed or replaced. G is also on his way out. This team still lacks offensive skill from the backend when either Chabot or Sandy or out.

Defensemen move all the time. If you need a replacement just wait and you will find a guy for cheaper if you have a good scouting staff. No need to trade big assets

We already have far too little offence coming from our blue line. Ferraro for chabot just takes way skating and ability. I like Ferraro but not in our current situation.

I do think Chabot gets moved tho


Why are they getting rid of kesselring tho.

And ya dumba is simply bad. Matinpalo is much better

No reason for Utah to get rid of Kesselring, I was simply stating that he is what bigger and more physical looks like (what the ig poster expressed wanting to see in a re-jig of our defence, and then suggested Dumba...).

The Sens will always care about real dollars in vs. out, as we're not one of the rich teams in this league.

A new arena will help mitigate that somewhat, but that's years away and in the meantime we're dealing with massive cap increases coming (reportedly 25M over the next 3 years), a weak Canadian dollar and a potentially terrible economic situation coming up that could put a damper on ticket sales.

Andlauer isn't wealthy enough to not care about losing millions a year, nor are the minority owners obviously. It could be a rough couple years for the Sens franchise as a business, which could mean some tough decisions regarding personnel.

Chabot has been great this year but no one should be surprised if he's dealt for a more cost-effective alternative.
