Confirmed Trade: [OTT/STL] Zach Sanford for Logan Brown and cond. 2022 4th

[AveryStar4Eva]

Having two teams get rid of you in a two week span speaks volumes. I expect a team with nothing to lose (Buffalo, Anaheim, Arizona) will give him a one month look on the roster

 

[Tap on the Ankle]

Great hands and size but a total floater who doesn't play defense. I thought being a Blues boy himself he might have played with some fire but it reading the assessments from Blues fans on his preseason play it sounds like nothing changed.

He has the tools and the toolbox but no desire to open it up.

 

[Ouroboros]

I bet he clears waivers.

 

[Bileur]

A nice lose-lose trade.

How does Ottawa lose?

They got a 4th for nothing.
They also needed Sanford's cap hit to hit the floor without Brady signed, and White on IR.

They lose by using the IR to hit the cap floor lol

Sens traded away the 4rth to St Louis lol

Ottawa is giving the 4th.

 

[KevinRedkey]

My bad. For whatever reason I thought the 4th was going the other way. Time for bed. Lol

I think people are being too hard on Sanford in this thread. He may have his flaws, but he's also capable of playing PK/PP2 and should pot roughly 15 goals if healthy all year. Surely that's worth a 4th round pick, no? I think he's even capable of 20 goals if he puts it all together.

You should know by now that its not a Dorian trade unless he includes a needless draft pick.

 

[TeamRenzo]

LOL, I believe they traded a pick to move up to get Brown as well...this guy costing us picks all over the place.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Reclaim him

NO! He's played 3 preseason games for us, and by the end of shift one we already knew for certain that he's useless.

^ this is the thought process of many fans.

 

[boredmale]

Would be funny if Ottawa claims him

 

[JimmyApples]

Well…Sens fans did try to warn Blues fans about Logan Brown

 

[67Blues]

The key to this trade for the Blues was cap space that was freed up to re-sign Thomas. The fact that players and picks moved to the Blues was inconsequential to Thomas' contract. Pure cap dump from STL perspective.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Oh that would be hysterical.

Sucks for brown. Guy has all the tools to be a force in the NHL. But injuries and something going on between his ears derailed him.

 

[LeafChief]

The Blues knew Brown was likely going to get waived. This shouldn't be a surprise for anyone. If Brown came in and blew them away in the pre-season, that would have been gravy for the Blues.

The win for the Blues was moving the salary and getting the pick.

For the Sens, they can potentially build up Sanford's value a bit and move him at the deadline. This is a good move for all involved, regardless of Brown being on waivers.

Bingo. HF has to have a clear winner of every trade for some reason. This was just a trade to help both teams become cap compliant.

yup... and we tried to return the favor and warn ya about Sanford

 

[SensFactor]

Sanford is terrible. At least you guys get a 4th rounder from us.

looks like a good chance we get the 4th and keep Brown as it appears he's passed thru waivers without being claimed

 

[Altimus]

im disappointed he passed through waivers. id prefer to had Brown in the AHL than Sanford in the NHL.
