Speculation: Sens need to trade a core player

[Bjornar Moxnes]

A winger and a defenseman around the same caliber or better?

It wouldn't be a futures trade. it would be a shakeup trade.

That's the thing, their best players that are signed beyond this year are on their ELC, so it basically has to be a deal like Couture (A cap dump) a A+ prospect like Dickinson, and another first rounder type of trade. Tkachuk isn't worth Dickinson and possible a top 10 first, but Chabot still has marginal postiive value versus Couture, so it sways the side that way.

 

[MCR74]

Nylander for Tkachuk.

Who says no?

You mean Alex Nylander?

 

[Bobby9]

Hoglander for Giroux (20% retained)

Deal I actually like Höglander as a player.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

What would you want at that point?

Not a fan of either team to be honest.

Smith?

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

What would you want at that point?

Dickinson

Honestly what do you do w this team after this many years of the same core and still the same outcome? In my opinion more than 1 core player has to go. Culture needs to be changed.

If we trade someone this season, that will already be two core players gone in the last year since we sent Kastelic to Boston.

Dickinson

So Granlund, Liljegren, Thrun, and Dickinson for Tkachuk and Chabot? I’m not sure if I’m ready to move Dickinson but it makes sense to ask.

Would sub Barzal for Dobson if that is preferred. Also open to a smaller shakeup deal involving Pelech for Batherson/Pinto/Norris although it’s occurring to me that you guys are probably set on the left side

I would actually love Barzal on the Sens, have no idea how he's never hit 100 points. Too skilled, smart and fast not to produce.

If the Sens were trading for just Barzal, what do you think that would look like?

Also out of curiosity how come he hasn't surpassed his rookie numbers offensively? I dont follow NYI but I thought he'd be a top 10 player in the league in his prime after his rookie year

would love batherson in nj. i'd be willing to part with nemec or casey on defense.

Funny enough I actually proposed in June Batherson for your 2024 1st (10OA). Thought that would've been pretty fair

RHD are more of a need for the Sens ngl, but at the same time trading Pinto means our C depth gets worse, so it's a paradox.

 

[Peasy]

Nylander for Tkachuk.

Who says no?

If I'm the leafs I'm saying no.

You know Willy can drive a line himself (Tkachuk sure as hell hasn't shown that). He's been the most consistent core 4 member in the playoffs. You know he likes it in Toronto and doesn't want to leave. Tkachuk seems like the kinda guy to want to bolt to the states to be with his brother.

Really a no brainer from me.

What about Rasmus Andersson with retention for Shane Pinto?

Ottawa would need to find a cheap forward to replace Pinto as well, but that should be pretty easy.

there’s a few reasons. #1 was that his first season was his only season with Tavares on the team, and teams were focused on stopping him, not Barzal. Then Tavares leaves and we get Barry Trotz who drastically changed the system and made a huge focus on turning Barzal into a 200 foot player. He also never really had a bonafied first line player on his line until last year with Horvat. I agree that he hits 100 in the right situation.

Anyway a Barzal trade would need to involve Tkachuk or Stutzle, and we add.
