I expect one of the 4th line spots to be filled with an ELC (either Crookshank or Ostapchuk at ~800k), so you really need 2 players for ~$3M. Another 4th liner and a bottom-pairing D.
Easily doable.
Confirmed Signing with Link: [OTT] F Shane Pinto re-signs with the Senators (2 years, $3.75M AAV)

Great bridge contract...he will get his long term contract with the Sens afterwards when cap goes up. Smart move.
At least fans can look at this as something management didn't completely f*** up this off-season.

Yeh that or lies. Like Patty Kane to Toronto. Or Ohtani to Toronto. You know it well.
Yeah...I just feel like Andlauer/Staios are still trying to get a lay of the land and its holding up the ability of the team to move forward in terms of being competitive in the division. Staying pat, though, can be the kiss of death because potential Free Agents won't want see the organization as being serious about competing.

Blow's my mind how a bottom non playoff team for how long is basically capped out.
Always something with this team.
They need 1 RD to play with Kleven.
I mean, they acquired a Vezina trophy winning goalie last week (addressing by far their biggest need) and made quite a few other changes since then…
Almost half the roster will be turned over from last year.

Part of me wonders if Pinto’s agent was working the media to get the Sens to come to an agreement. At 2x 3.75M, it seems like it was the media making negotiations sounding like a mess and neither side fuelled it.

In this case I'm not really sure its click bait as much as it is Gross using the media to gain leverage for his client.

But changing out spare parts for similar spare parts (aside from Ulmark) doesn't really inspire confidence. Especially since Ulmark doesn't come with an extension in place.

You guys can hit up Utah for Logan Cooley. The Islanders are going to go after Shane Pinto. Possibly James Hagens too.

Because being right up against the cap is not good

Maybe... or maybe he doesn't plan to spend a single one of his UFA years in Ottawa

Well at a minimum he will be with the Sens for the next 2-3 years. He's still an RFA at the end of this contract too. Go Sens Go!

This is part of his plan.
Spend the next four years in Ottawa so he can immediately leave Ottawa.

Yeah but he grew up a Pens fan, said it himself. You can come after him sure lol, I think he like Ottawa though!

pretty sure those Ohtani rumors were true to a certain extent and it got him another 100m
but most especially Toronto ones are click bait. and it works every time

Friedman calling this a stalemate when it's 2nd day of free agency lol.
This is boring.
