4.8 million in space and need one more defenseman, POJ or otherwise. That becomes 9.8m if Smith goes the other way

You could see the offensive potential at times but ultimately he was never going to score enough to outweigh his play in his own end.

I for one am glad they got rid of POJ. Way too young.
But in all seriousness, this board shat all over Pettersson when he was 24, so good to see that nobody learned anything. Can't wait to see what 32 year old we sign to replace him!!

Brannstrom or Lunqvist or even Boqvist would be acceptable. I get not giving POJ the qual offer if he's arb eligible. He can merely point to Liljegren and demand $3.5-4mil and have a strong case for it. That said, he's a $1.5-2mil dman so he if can sign someone like that who fits better with Letang, I'm okay with it. As mentioned, I just wish they would have traded him for a similar forward - Yamamoto, Lizotte, Zadina...even those guys all equally suck.
Remember when everyone here lost their minds because JR gave up Addison for Zucker? Lol, good times. They look Lambos with the 1st and got Addison...and both are trash. Lambos still has potential. Add those to the long list of "nothingburgers" that this team has traded out.

No, of course it's not the same.
Boston didn't miss in 2015 and 2016 because their stars aged out.

Sullivan gots to go!
This is what I am concerned about. We already blocked the young centers yesterday. Now, let's see what we do for a new LD to play with Letang. If it is a puck mover, then Ryan Graves is back in the top 4. If it is a defensive defender, how much are we going to pay out for this player? There is very little out there in terms of LDs to play with Letang.
I hope we make a trade for someone. We have Pickering coming, but nobody else really for LD. Trade for a long-term guy. No idea who because this type of player is not easy to identify. We basically need stability. Elias Pettersson in Vancouver is this type of defenseman. Albert Johansson in Detroit is another. Jayden Struble in Montreal, but what can we offer them? Ditto Jordan Harris.
I would have just kept Joseph, but whatever.

Probably more so later in the week when players can’t get their asking price and teams to go to are thinning out.

Firing Sullivan fixes so much of this teams f***ing problems, it's beyond frustrating to know that and see the team not give a shit because they like him over the results he's produced for almost a decade after the 2 cups.

I don't get why twats would talk shit on him. Joseph was good when he was used properly, I hope he's wise enough to not come back to this dumb shit show of a franchise. He's finally able to go elsewhere.

Liar, but you have a son and you're ignoring him to be here. Grow up, be a dad!

Hey, Jesse is a sharp guy. We've been aligning on a lot lately. I think plenty of teams will give Brannstrom the chance. When you are mediocre on a bad team for so long, like Ottawa, it's hard to know exactly how much of it is team/system/player. If you bring him to a quality defensive-minded team and he sucks...well then it is what it is. Or he could easily revive his game and reach his potential. I'd roll the dice. I'm more iffy on Lundqvist and Boqvist. But like anything, it's price tags. Those are still young players. If you can get them here for $1-2mil, it's worth a shot.
Not the worst news. Makes sense. If not us, wonder if Ottawa make sense? Go play with your brother and they just non-q'd Brannstrom obviously.
