are you sure sogaard is part of the karlsson trade?
In the way that the 2nd round pick (Florida's from San Jose) with Pitt's 3rd (acquired in the Brassard trade IIRC) was used to move up and grab Sogaard

I feel like Demelo feels he deserves more money than Ottawa is willing to offer.
He's been plugged into a top 4 role and probably wants to be paid as such with term whereas Ottawa probably feels he's not truly as valuable as he thinks he is.

Two things stick out:
- How in the world is management still seemingly unsure about what the plan is for Pageau?!
- Our defense sucks: we only have one good dman in Chabot. Trading away Demelo strikes me as stupid; he isn't great but who's going to replace him?
If DeMelo brings back a second the Karlsson return becomes Tierney, Norris, Balcers, Mads Sogaard, likely top 5 pick in June, 2020 second round pick (Vegas?) and 2021 second round pick (San Jose). Plus a season and a half of solid play from DeMelo. That's a hell of a haul.
He will be our #1 centre.17 points in his last 10 games. Kids a rising star and I hope his game translates. I think the team gives him at least a few games at the end of the season as a reward and he might be our answer to #2 center.
I hope he's getting Pageau and Tierney mixed up."The Senators could always keep Pageau and make a decision in the off-season without the pressure of the deadline"
Someone should explain to Bruce what a UFA is.
Rantanen out for a while. huge loss for Colorado

Big Bruce is tossing crap against the wall sounds like.
Dorion isnt even giving him crumbs lol
The impression I get is that they feel they won't be able to sign Demelo, i.e. he doesn't really want to be part of this organization and the direction they are in. I mean, who blames him really...
The 2020 second round pick from San Jose is a Dallas Stars pick I believe.
Toffoli is a vastly superior offensive playerPageau should return more than Toffoli, especially since we won't be dumping salary (knock on wood)
It's almost as if they should have started negotiations before the middle of February.I find it weird Bruce mentioned that Dorion and DeMelo’s camp aren’t even in the same ball park in terms of a contract. It would be a shame if the Sens are really lowballing him considering how evident his importance to the team is. I would like to believe DeMelo’s agent wants DeMelo to move to a contender and is asking for king’s ransom to stay in Ottawa but who knows at this point.
He quite clearly has stated he does wish to be here....i think this is more of a term issueThe impression I get is that they feel they won't be able to sign Demelo, i.e. he doesn't really want to be part of this organization and the direction they are in. I mean, who blames him really...

I like the guy but he’s not irreplaceable. He’s a bottom pair guy and we have JBD coming who we won’t want to block.I find it weird Bruce mentioned that Dorion and DeMelo’s camp aren’t even in the same ball park in terms of a contract.

correct me if I’m wrong, but I think Vegas got Dallas’s 2nd from trading Methot to Dallas. They then packaged that 2nd with brannstrom for Mark Stone (not part of the Karlsson trade)
they did get Florida’s 2019 2nd from the Karlsson trade though (which was traded up for Sogard)
Pageau has more goals this year... as well as being way better than toffoli defensivelyCertainly not the better offensive player which comes at a premium
