Proposal: Trade Rumours/Proposals [MOD - Stay on Topic]

[JD1]

Trading Paul for Joseph and signing him for $2.95M AAV is a factor in the assessment.

I'd rather have Joseph's contract on the books than Paul's

Same, TB fans are complaining already in year 1 of deal. Paul hasn’t scored in 30 games.

That's a strawman.

We weren't offering a 7 year deal to Paul and he wasn't asking for one from us. Only got that after an excellent end to the season and good playoff run for Tampa.

Dorion's final offer to Paul was 2.5M x 4 years. Wouldn't even go up to 3M, but basically did for Joseph after only a dozen games of good play.

Paul not doing well, hasn’t scored in 30 games.

Joseph didn't have an even strength goal the entire season.

I know which one I'd prefer if on the same contract, even though I was perfectly fine dealing away Paul if the idea was to allocate his money towards the defense, but that didn't happen obviously.

My point was that you can't say it was a good move to trade for Joseph and re-sign him to a 2.95M x 4YR deal instead of signing Paul to a 3.15M x 7YR deal since that was not his ask pre-trade. It's a strawman and bad faith argument.

Well Hale, all you can do is guess what it would have taken to get Paul signed here.

Speaking of straw men....do you really believe that Joseph was signed based on a dozen games?

I'm quite happy we don't have Paul signed long term. I liked him. I was advocating for him before he earned a full time spot. But he's a limited player.

I'd rather have Joseph for the next 3 years than Nick Paul.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Well I mean that's Desantis country. Unless you're trans, gay or Disney its a free for all.

Im
None of those. So. I suppose.

 

[Bileur]

Joseph 6'1 187 lbs age 26
Engvall 6'5 219 lbs age 26
There is a bit of a difference.

Yeah but those four extra inches are just neck.

 

[bicboi64]

I'd take Burakovsky over both

Same, not sure if they'd move him

Are you sure about your numbers.

The thing on top of the neck matters as well .

SNAPSHOTS: Nick Paul a healthy scratch and expected to be moved by Senators

The NHL trade deadline is set for Monday at 3 p.m. EDT.

ottawasun.com

"After rejecting the club’s final offer of a four-year, $10-million deal Thursday, Paul, who will celebrate his 27th birthday Sunday, was a healthy scratch for Friday night’s game against the Philadelphia Flyers at the Canadian Tire Centre."

Did he have a 5 on 5 goal this year?

Are you sure about your numbers.

Those are accurate. Paul would have signed 4 years at 3 million they wouldnt give it to him. Then gave it to Joseph lol.

So we are believing Garrioch now ?

Did you get that from the media or independently?

No doubt the Joseph contract was baffling. I liked the trade but only because I figure Joseph would get max 1.75M. Again baffling.

That was before Melnyk died and he was really plugged in.

BG articles are simultaneously gospel when it suits, and hack garbage when it doesn’t.

Independently.

Per Bruce, Dorion was at the Dallas vs Minnesota game. I wonder if Pierre still interested in Dumba

Don’t see how, wouldn’t be able to afford his cap hit.

 

[JD1]

No one knows what Paul would have signed for here. We know he wouldn't sign a 4 year 10M deal. Beyond that, we don't know. I'm not much for speculative bullshit.

I really wouldn't want Paul on a 7 year deal. That's probably something that TB is thinking at this point too.

 

[PatrickEaves]

Would you trade DBC for Ehlers?

 

[GCK]

Would you trade DBC for Ehlers?

Probably but injuries are a concern.

 

[Masked]

If the price was right, I'd like to see the Senators go after Logan Stanley from the Jets. He's always looked good when I've seen him play the Sens. He can play both sides and would bring some size on the bottom pairing.

Assen na yo!
