GDT: SENS @ Habs, Wednesday night 7:00 pm on TSN5

[OUT HOUSE]

K find another way to make cap space

 

[Icelevel]

If we trade Joseph better be getting a 1st BACK

 

[KingAlfie11]

Man Joseph is having a game

 

[PatrickEaves]

To be fair, it’s a choice between him, Kubalik, Pinto and Brannstrom. All good players who bring a lot to the team.

Tbf, we could also trade Pinto.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Yeah one of them will need to be traded. The point I'm trying to make is that Joseph isn't bad as some on here will have you believe; even if he had a disappointing season last year.

Fair, I thought you were making the other point.

Speaking of!

 

[Rodzilla]

Skates into the goalie making a save. Draws a tripping call?

Yeah lol, Kubalik didnt even move

 

[Micklebot]

Joseph making a case for himself. Might be Philly sending us the first, lol

 

[H2O]

Trade Kubalik!

 

[Hale The Villain]

Watching this does anyone seriously think it's worth it to lose a 2nd+ or a good prospect to dump Joseph when we could just trade Kubalik or Brannstrom and likely get something in return?

 

[KingAlfie11]

Joseph can f***ing fly out there, I think we should keep him

 

[GCK]

Brannstrom and Joseph are the best players on the ice for Ottawa. Joseph every time he's on the ice and there was a shift at the beginning of the 2nd where Brannstrom made so many good plays

Hopefully we're not going to saddle Brannstrom with yet another bad D-man... Enough of Josh Brown and Nick Holden (the declined version)

I just rewound to see the shift(s) where Brannstrom was good. Couldn’t find it, unless you feel Brannstrom making average plays is special. Please clip what you saw since I’ve only got TSN5 feed.

Hell no. Briere is trying to pull one over Dorion to see how desperate he is.
If anything someone should give us a 2nd to get Joseph.

Trade Pinto for Oliver Bonk.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Trade Kubalik!

I unironcally think Joseph is a more useful player for us.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Matty Jo .. what a night. A perfect night for him. Giving Dorion something to work with

People look at Joseph’s term as a negative… I think the opposite. Kubalik will almost definitely be gone next year and Brannstrom, while a good player, will never be a key player here and might not even have a spot in the medium term.

 

[KingAlfie11]

I think Joseph could replace Formenton, he's that type of player

 

[Rodzilla]

Smejkal is much better than Kelly.

He actually has IQ out there. No brainer to me you can see the guy has a pro game

 

[H2O]

Yeah we need Joseph on the PK. If it’s a choice of Joseph + sweetener for nothing vs Kubalik for a 2nd or 3rd, I’d pick the latter easily.

The term is fine, he's just slightly overpaid. At 1.95M he's not a concern at all.

We have no cap issues next year so dumping him this year to fit in Kubalik for a year just isn't smart.

Please tell DJ.

You need to keep Kubalik for depth scoring. He has a defined role.

You have to fast forward and assume that the Senators make the playoffs. Which players could contribute in a specialized role, and which will not? I think it's pretty clear that Joseph and Kubalik could be key on a 3rd or 4th line, while Brannstrom is the likeliest candidate to be scratched.

If by January, Kleven isn't ready to step in, you could get a depth D via trade. Luke Schenn cost a 3rd rounder last year.

term is a negative if you are trying to move him. He's been at his best tonight

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

The thing about Brannstrom, JBD, Hamonic, Kleven is that none of them are anything special defensively right now.

But only Brannstrom tries to make plays. The others play scared shitless.

 

[Rodzilla]

Please tell DJ.

Brother you know as well as I do Kelly will be taking ozone pims in the season opener while getting stuck in our dzone right after
