They would also have 8-9 million in cap space to get another good player.
But Sens wouldn’t have the cap space to do it, even if they wanted too,
Speculation: Sens need to trade a core player

It's not obvious though, they're still so young especially given their 2 best pieces are their youngest ones. The entire off ice org was literally just completely overhauled, patience is a virtue

Because he s getting concussed each year, no other reason. The more you get the easier they come the next time, and last longer.

Totally
Agreed, just still can't see who would replace him is the problem. I think they use him up and let him walk, Volchy 2.0

They added 4 veteran guys in the off season, who won cups.
No reason to make the Sens worse, you can keep those guys.
God no. I rather have Guhle at 5.5M than Sanderson at 8M

sure amadio and cousins are fine depth pieces, and Jensen is a real addition, but i don't think Perron and the 1st two can contribute at a level commensurate with team leadership.

They also have Giroux, they have no need for Kreider, your team doesn’t want him either anymore. Sens pass
Something’s gotta give. They have their supposed core locked up and continue to be terrible with only one real NHL quality prospect in the system. Missing their next 1st too.
Clearly it isn’t working
Clearly it isn’t working
I'd do that if I was the Sens.
Brady and Crouse could go a long way toward a new team identity.
Maybe see if Chicago would take a chance on Norris also. They need talent and have cap space. Try and work a deal around Connor Muprhy.
The team would be much tougher to play against.

kreider is the anti-giroux. the exact kind of player sens need. the guy who scored a natural hatty against carolina to keep the season alive.
most rangers fans would be ecstatic to see him retire a blueshirt. sens and a lot of other teams would jump at the opportunity to grab him.
There's a massive difference between Green and Montgomery though. Moves like that make way more sense than all these posters suggesting trading away Brady.

Correct their xGA/60 at 5 on 5, is fourth in the league, a better number than any team in the east.

Could not agree more tbh, Kreider is money even if he is slowing down a bit. Idk wtf GoldenJet is talking about, I would absolutely take Kreider and a bag of pucks over Perron and Amadio given their numbers so far and I would think most Sens fans would too.
They are nuts to move him unless they are in very long-term mode beyond the three years he has left on a deal after 2024-25. You cannot find a player like him who agitates, scores, fights... you just know he would be a playoff guy.

Except that’s not the proposed trade. Poster wants Chabot and Pinto.
For Kreider and Lindgren, Ranger fans are trying to dump Lindgren on the trade board. Kreider is not the same player anymore, just watch him.
Staois would pass on that trade imo.

He could be but if you can't ever get to the playoffs, who cares?
You just get to a tough reality which is that the current mix isn't good enough, you can keep rolling it back but it'll likely never change unless you get some hot shot draft picks which makes you deeper/better or you swindle another team in a trade.
The Leafs are in that predicament too, it should be a no brainer to extend Marner and JT but because we haven't had playoff success, no rush.
They better do something for Brady, the guy looks like he hates his life in interviews.
It just seems every time Ottawa brings in a marquee FA they flop. Ullmark is learning the hard way the team has something rotten in its core.

we're just talking here. Let's backtrack - you don't think Kreider is a player who would help the Sens get to and win in the playoffs? 35+ goals over the past 3 years? best PP netfront guy in the league? kills penalties? money in the playoffs? don't kid yourself. at 6.5 with cap increasing he's a bargain.
so now what do you offer for him?

Ah, ya ok, agree on Lindgren, I've seen that. I agree that trade sucks and Kreider is slowing down to be sure but compared to Perron, for only 2.5 mil more I'll take the 9 goals and big physical guy for PP2 vs DP's donuts. We're talking about a guy who has been a Sens killer over the years and who potted 39 last year at an almost ppg clip
Agreed. Norris for Kreider a decent starting point?
