GDT: Senators @ Devils | 1:00 p.m. | Prudential Center | SNET-E

[Quo]

Urbom for Greening? Would want someone more long term than Tallinder I think but maybe just me.

With the offensive prowess of Condra, there is no way we can lose.

 

[Derivation]

Why is Greening out? Is he injured our is he not fitting into Maclean's style of play?

Healthy scratch last game. He just hasn't looked on point. Not the same effort level as last year, IMO.

 

[Beville]

MB30 gets the only goal.

You'd get mixed opinions, I'd personally say no, but we do have a lot of D prospects.

Devils just need to find a way to fix their 8 D dilemma. They have a capable NHL defenseman scratched every game, actually two including Harrold.

Tallinder was scratched for five straight games, he'd be a top six defender on a majority of NHL teams.

I think Greening+conditional pick for Tallinder is a pretty close value and works because both players are struggling to get into the line-up.

 

[Dysentery]

Greening is fighting the puck bad...He's a twitchy guy. He needs to just stop thinking and just go...effort is always there.

 

[saskriders]

Wouldn't trade Greening.

Just needs to learn to change his game. When was the last time he played a roll like he was expected to this year?

He played almost everywhere in the lineup last year... there shouldn't be any excuses about his role affecting his performance.

He played on the first line more than anywhere else, not to mention he was far from a third liner in Denmark, and based of his stats University and Junior hockey too.

His role playing on a line with Spezza is the same as playing with Neil and Smith. Needs to forecheck to turn pucks over, go to the net and finish his checks.

I don't necessarily disagree. I like Tallinder as a player.

Assuming he comes back next year for his final contract year it wouldn't be that bad as he might be able to take some of Gonchar's minutes.

However, I have to think we could turn Greening into something a lot more beneficial to the long term health of the franchise than 30+ games and maybe another season of a would be 35 year old Henrik Tallinder.

Realistically, does Tallinder get us any closer to the playoffs this year? I don't think so. He fills a role, eats reliable minutes but he'd have to be outta this world to make up for this gongshow of a season.

As dissappointing as Greening has been this year and as devastating as these injuries have been I don't think we'll be in a rush to swap him for Tallinder.

 

[BonkTastic]

Nice GDT. Not a fan of spiderman though.

 

[BonkTastic]

I was iffy about a Tallinder-Greening swap, until I saw that Tallinder still has ~$3.4mil remaining on his contract for next year.

Pass.

yes because money is an issue

Why not use that $3.4mil for a better player in the offseason?

 

[Benjamin]

It is....

 

[kaws]

Nice touch on the BSens vs NJD logos.

Understandable. Pretty much, if the Senators were healthier and gunning for a playoff spot, then you guys might've done it?

Devils just need to get rid of one of their 8 defenders and Greening, with his healthy scratching and being a lefty as well as Ottawa's D injuries, seemed like a good fit....

 

[Scrub*]

I'll take Volchenkov back anytime.

Personally, I think if all we'd lost was Karlsson, we'd me much more amenable to a deal like that.

Thing is though, with Spezza, Michalek, Cowen, Latendresse and everyone else hurt, it just seems like Tallinder won't be enough to overcome our injuries THIS year, and is pretty unnecessary NEXT year.

Does anyone actually know what's going on with Latendresse???

Only 3 years left on his deal, blocks shots, hits everything near him and is better than Phillips, Boro, Benoit, Lundin
