Brady was my favorite player in the NHL for a while until the Panthers got Matthew.
As much as I want him, you know the Sens would make the Panthers pay an Atlantic division tax on any deal.

Call me crazy but I wouldn’t part with all of Ek, Lundy and Knight for Brady. I think that’s too much.

They could also give it to him in pure bonuses like Tkachuk to further increase the tax savings. It's a great way to dodge the jock tax

We're a team
While he hasnt been lighting it up year points wise his metrics have been great for the most part.

Plays half the season and has the 2nd best numbers behind his partner on the team.

He’s a weapon in the playoffs though. Minus the dumb penalties. Worth resigning if we can.

It's not just that; not re-signing Bennett leaves a big hole at 2C. We were hoping Lundell would fill that and he still might one day (cureent struggles aside, he is just 22 and development isn’t linear), but right now it’s not happening.
It'd definitely depend on the contract, but if we're not re-signing Bennett, then we need to sign *someone* for the spot. If the price and term is reasonable, might as well stick with the guy who's been good for us already.

Knight will probably be a starter in this league and Lundell will probably get his shit together. Ek is really good, just slow. Yeah, too much.

Ekblad has little value as an above average top4 dman as he's significantly overpaid and he's bound to sign another overbloated contract.
Knight and Lundell have plenty of value especially for a rebuilder.
The Sens need Brady more than the Panthers so an overpayment is going to be needed and I wouldn't want to see e.g. Verhaeghe as a cap casualty new contracts need to be offered to other personnel.

The only reason we're even talking about this is that things are so f***ing bad in Ottawa right now, it's possible they might blow it up to the point of trading away the team's best player.
I think that's probably what they need to do, but that will be a tough bill to sell to a fanbase that's been patient through an ugly rebuild that has now turned into a five alarm tire fire.
I figure that if there's any possibility of it happening, Zito will figure something out. As long as the trade isn't made at the deadline...

Oh, I'm all for keeping Sam if the price is right.
If it isn't right, I am all for trying to sign Dakota Joshua off Vancouver.
But let it be clear. I have no sense of the cap world or contracts.

Fortunately, Dale Tallon is a senior advisor for the Canucks and neither does he.

Vanecek! That's one of Verhaeghe's kids from the Capitals goalie system

From “All About The Jersey”
Florida Panthers...only have five forwards with 20 or more points — Evan Rodrigues (26), Matthew Tkachuk (40), Carter Verhaeghe (41), Aleksander Barkov (45), and Sam Reinhart (53). They are also joined by Sam Bennett, who has 15 points in 29 games, and Anton Lundell, who is underperforming with only 13 points in 37 games. Beyond them, the Panthers lineup is largely filled with plugs and goons, like Nick Cousins, who is currently out with concussion symptoms.

Paul Maurice on Panthers at midway point of season: ‘I’m happy with where they’re at’
The Panthers (27-12-2) are second in the Atlantic Division, just one point behind the Boston Bruins (24-8-9) for the top spot in the Atlantic Division and Eastern Conference.
not too shabby

Would have rather had Bob get the extra days of rest than have to face a million shots in the no defense 10 minute OT

Agree, but on the flip side, it'll piss off Toronto fans.

I hope Bob says no.
He gets suspended 1 game who cares. We have a lot of points and Stolarz is fine
