Who's in net? What does the defence looking?

Let them have this moment. Reality will arrive soon enough.

 

[Sensinitis]

Ottawa are gonna be fun to watch this season.

5 wingers in their top 6?

Stutzle and Norris are centers

Stutzle is a Center.

 

[Djp]

Wow. Nice job Ottawa. Seems cheap for a 40g guy. Thanks for Byram but y’all really figured things out after that trade.

Blackhawks gonna suck this season. Trade Kane at the deadline with 50% retention for value.

Backslide for Bedard?

It's a trade they will regret in 5 yrs

Who's in net? What does the defence looking?

Question marks in goal for sure. But the top 4 on defense is going to include Chabot, Zub and as blue chip a defense prospect can get in Sanderson.

Hamonic, Holden and Branstrom to round it out. Thomson and JBD knocking on the door. Definitely space to improve for sure. But its not dire.

Established 40 goals scorer vs 3 ifs lol

 

[HanSolo]

Sure, Alex DeBrincat is great, but a 7th overall draft pick could be anything! Even a player like Alex DeBrincat!

 

[The Red Line]

Chicago is so dumb.

 

[Wandering Cynic]

Pierre Dorion just solidified his job for the next 5 years with this trade.

Who's in net? What does the defence looking?

The draft has not even began yet, give it time and see what they do young one.

 

[Viqsi]

So much for 2OA, next years 1st, Mercer plus Holtz as a start.

Why do fans continually think players will return massive packages? They're just setting themselves up for disappointment.

"If those know-nothing newcomer losers in Columbus can keep getting what they predict, surely us knowledgable, enlightened, hockey culture infused O6 fans can get what we predict."

Yeah, I know, I'm pointlessly making it all about me and my team and my fanbase. But I figured it'd be a nice change of pace to have that from a fan of the Jackets rather than, say, the Leafs or Habs.

 

[The Red Line]

Young 40 goal scorer for the 7th pick in an awful draft is just such horrible asset management, especially with absolutely no pressure to trade him right now.

I'm just astounded they keep making bad moves like this.

 

[Viqsi]

Sens know they have to pay him a salary, right?

That sort of commentary on the Sens ceased to be relevant after Melnyk (z''l) passed away.

Good thing Eugene Melnyk doesn't have to know about it!

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Gross.

 

[DoingItCoolKiwi]

Established 40 goals scorer vs 3 ifs lol

Not even 3 good ifs. 1 Very good if, 1 decent if and 1 long-shot if.

 

[DrDangles]

Hawks fans must be in shambles, what a deal for Ottawa

 

[Mickey Marner]

Interesting trade. I guess Chicago is tanking now?

Good addition for Ottawa, however, it might not look so hot in 5 years depending on who is available at 7.

 

[The Red Line]

The idea that they get a 40 goal scorer in THIS draft with the 7th overall pick is highly unlikely.

I would be so pissed as a Blackhawks fan. Luckily, I am not.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

I love this for Ottawa, once it came out Chicago was after #5 I thought this would be a smart thing for Ottawa to pursue.

DeBrincat, Tkachuk, Stutzle, Norris, Batherson.. this forward group is legit.

I think they've put themselves in a position to legit take a step & compete for playoffs.

 

[North Cole]

Wait, hold on. How the hell did Dorion pull of DeBrincat for #7, #39 and a 3rd but was willing to trade Murray with #7 just to move down 9 spots?

Maybe the insiders haven't adjusted to Ultra Instinct Dorion yet. Could be this guy really was held back by ownership.

 

[Curufinwe]

That sort of commentary on the Sens ceased to be relevant after Melnyk (z''l) passed away.

Do the new owners have a lot more money than he did?

 

[Coachcorner]

Hawks fans must be in shambles, what a deal for Ottawa

Is Chicago taking Cutter Gauthier with that 7th pick now?

 

[Viqsi]

Do the new owners have a lot more money than he did?

Dunno. But he was the one most directly responsible for spending priorities issues.

 

[Puckclektr]

Stützle is a very similar player to Kane, so maybe.

I'm a similar player to Mitch Marner.
