Confirmed Trade: [OTT/SJS] Fabian Zetterlund, Tristen Robins, and 4th round pick for Zack Ostapchuk, Noah Gregor, 2025 2nd round pick

[KevinRedkey]

Ostapchuk and a first seems like a light return. Zetterlund will provide the Senators with a ton of offense.

I really don't think the Sens have up a 1st.

At best, the 2nd they just got from Buffalo, and possibly an additional 2nd.

 

[NyQuil]

what's the deal with Ostapchuk? GM MG probably likes him because he's 6'3", but what else does he bring?

He’s a sort of jack of all trades, a little grit, a little skill, works hard.

 

[EveryDay]

SJ got robbed.

 

[JoeSakic13]

Surprised SJ is moving on from Zetterlund, but Grier has been making pretty savvy moves lately so I can’t knock it.

 

[KevinRedkey]

Lavoie saying it's 1-for-1 (Ostapchuk)

If that's the case this is a STEAL for Ottawa.

 

[zenator]

My shopping list for Sens was a 3rd line winger, and a depth LD. Zetterlund and Gilbert.

We'll see how the Norris - Cozens part works out. It's a gamble for both teams. He upgrades the Sens' 5 on 5 offense (27-18 this season), but Norris produces more on the PP and SH. Will be interesting.

No Zetterlund without that trade, as $800K was freed up from Norris - Cozens.

Edit: whoa, it only cost them Ostapchuk? I like him, he can develop into a decent checker, is big and strong, but has no offensive upside, saw him as a future good 4th line centre. What were the Sharks thinking?

Edit 2: Ok, the final deal makes more sense, but still a win for OTT. I still like it. Basically Zetterlund and a 4th for Ostapchuk and a 2nd.

Grier probably trading Celebrini in The offseason since he’s too old.

 

[Hale The Villain]

It can't be just Ostapchuk? He's a 4th line center in the making.

Think Nick Paul.

 

[Peasy]

Wtf is this trade lmao.

Zetterlund is like a 25-25 kinda guy.

 

[SpezDispenser]

I only pull this out for special occasions (not true)

"If this is one for one it would be easily GM MG's worst trade. I think there will be a +" (he said, sharpening his figurative pitchfork)

 

[RyCam]

Ostapchuk is a good player, not as skilled as Zetterlund, but a high energy and gritty player. He's been in and out of the lineup in Ottawa but will probably be a constant fixture in San Jose and will be all the better for it.

 

[fasterthanlight]

that's horrible for SJ. Congrats OTT!

 

[Shark Finn]

Grier must be thinking you get awarded the Cup if you finish last more than 2 times in a row or something.

 

[KevinRedkey]

This makes more sense but it's still a win for Ottawa IMO.

 

[SpezDispenser]

That makes more sense. Gregor is good, the 2nd has value and so does Ostapchuk. Still good with this big time though!

 

[Sendhelplease]

We did not...

 

[Pavelski2112]

This is incredibly bad for us

I hate to say it, but Grier finally made an awful trade

 

[Vergil]

Good call. That's a crazy good deal for Ottawa.

not sure about that one

 

[Habs7631]

As a Habs fan, I miss Pierre Dorion. Staios is doing good.

 

[Bileur]

Interesting, I quite liked Robins at the draft. Haven’t followed him since.
