Traded Parker Kelly

[Bileur]

Love the way he’s been playing. Seemed to get a boost when asked to be the grinder with skill guys.

 

[BrawlFan]

He’s awesome.

I think that hit last year where he injured the hawks defenceman has him shook. He doesn’t hit anymore. And he used to lay some big ones.

He’s become a quality player tho. Has a great shot. Could play 3LW in a pinch.

Players like him, the team needs more of

 

[Alf Silfversson]

He's still a relatively young player who had a down year last year.

He plays the game with pace and plays physical.

To me, at basically league minimum. he's a keeper for the 4th line.

For the longest time i have been going back and forth on who i like better between Parker and Crook. I started off leaning Parker, probably because i saw him first and admired his tasmanian devil approach. Then Crookshank seemed to take over in what i was thinking was more skill. I am back to uncertain again.

He's been a different player since Martin took over, and credit to him. I was critical of him over the last year. To me, he was playing like a guy who'd gotten too comfortable in the NHL, as opposed to a guy who every single night, every single shift, looks like he's fighting for his paycheque. That's what he's looked like since Martin took over, and that's how he needs to play, because that drive and energy is what separates him from any number of AHL alternatives.

 

[Tap on the Ankle]

He has really cleaned up his penalties. I remember that being a bit of an issue, he was always a solid energy guy but took penalties that felt unnecessary.

1st season - 60 PIM in 41 games
last season - 37 PIM in 55 games
this season (so far) - 10 PIM in 45 games

ATOI is slightly up this season compared to the past so it's not a case of getting benched

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

80 of 82 games for the Senators last season. What kind of contract can he expect as a RFA?

QO

 

[Ice-Tray]

Looks like our board enforcer is in mid season form already!

 

[Senator Stanley]

QO

I could see him signing for the minimum but on a two year deal, similar to what Zach MacEwen did but without Dorion adding that third year.

For someone like Kelly, the goal is to stay in the league, and the easiest way to do that is to be on a league minimum contract.

 

[Tnuoc Alucard]

League minimum (last season) is $775,000 USD or $1,058,389.05 CAD…..

Thanks for the insight.

 

[robsenz]

He just lost his best bud, hopefully that gives him a bit of a kick in the ass

I like Sparker.. too bad if they lose him imo

 

[Xspyrit]

hmmm, not great, would have been the perfect #13 this season

Kelly's Qualifying Offer is $787,500. Does anyone know what he might get with Arbitration?

 

[Tap on the Ankle]

A decent comparable might be Morgan Barron, who was going to arbitration last season but settled with Winnipeg at 2 years 1.35 AAV
Barron is a better faceoff guy but Kelly hits more and plays a bit more on the PK (2mins per game vs 1), but otherwise their ATOI and production is similar

I could be wrong but I don't see Crookshank as a strong defensive player nor a PK player.

 

[Cosmix]

We need to sign or replace the following forwards next season:
1. Pinto - RFA
2. Kelly - RFA
3. Tarasenko - traded
4. Kubalik - UFA
5. Kastelic - Traded

Signing an RD at $6M AAV leaves minimum dollars to do so (about $6M).

Trading Forsberg at $2.75M could provide maybe $1.75M more.

Yeah i havent really noticed it yet either. I was figuring Angus would need to carve out more of a production role on the 3rd line which may be a harder role to get in the churn with than Kelly in his role. Two spark plugs i love to cheer for though

Right now, this is our roster, and we have ~3.9 mil remaining in cap space:

Tkachuk Stutzle Giroux
Greig Pinto @ 3.5 Batherson
1m? Norris Joseph
1m? Ostapchuk Katchouk @ 1m?
MacEwen

Sanderson Zub
Chabot Chychrun
Kleven JBD
Hamonic

Ullmark
Forsberg


So, lots of room to upgrade Chychrun, and sign a top 9 winger by adding 2 mil to the 3rd line LW, and 1.5 mil to Chychrun's 4.6 mil.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

I think his camp might be over-estimating his worth around the league. I like him and think he has potential, but he's still on shaky ground here.

 

[KevinRedkey]

FWIW without Chyhrun (+ used some fillers here and there):

And that's with Norris on the team, who will likely start the season on LTIR.
