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

[bert]

which is why Karlsson would be cheaper than Parayko, Chychrun or anyone else.

Karlsson telling Grier that he only wants to go to Ottawa is very likely. Especially when Alfie is in management this summer.

Why do you keep saying this lol .

 

[GermanSpitfire]

I cant believe they got that much for him. Sandin sucks. Small cant skate turns the puck over. Cant handle a heavy forcheck.

I think there is still lots of potential there personally - and has been very good in a sheltered role there. I think he can be a Top-4 defender in this league for a long time to be honest.

they’re betting on the now with this deal obviously and it definitely helps them with that, plus an extra first to use within the next couple days but man; I think they may regret this deal. I can see why both sides did it Though.

Why's that a solid trade? Soon to be 31yo one-dimensional offensive defenseman who was on a PTO to start the year in 2021 for a 23yo guy who's going to be a pretty good top 4D.

Have you watched Sandin? He will never survive in a playoff series. Tiny and slow on the back end simply does not work. He's brutal.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Gustavsson is one of the worst defenders in the league.

He is Tony DeAngelo without the drama.

Not on a playoff team. Sens exposed him in a regular season game. You cant be that small and a d man in this league. If you are your skill level has to be insane. Id never take him on this team.

 

[Ice-Tray]

Sens fans have been unable to give the Leafs any credit for a long time. We are pretty insecure as a fanbase.

You can hate a team and still recognize that they are one of the better teams in the NHL. The whole "the Leafs actually suck" routine is just little brother syndrome.

Lol, this is sports entertainment. You guys are cozying up to the bitter rivals who love to hate us too.

That team has been a disappointment for 5 years straight when compared to expectations and people are actually arguing that their GM is among the best? You can even make up this level hypocrisy.

Just sayin’ this isn’t get along gang, it’s friggin’ Sens vs leafs, battle of ontario, classic hockey rivalry.

No one is feeling insecure, we just like our heated rivalries in hockey, instead of making up weird arguments to make them seem better….

 

[Big Muddy]

I cant believe they got that much for him. Sandin sucks. Small cant skate turns the puck over. Cant handle a heavy forcheck. Leafs are making some great moves. Identifying all their weaknesses.

Let's hope that after adding so many new players, they have trouble adjusting and getting in-synch with each other that the Leafs lose in the 1st round yet again. Fingers crossed.

To will it in to reality

If we're really lucky it'll be in OT in game 7.

Maximum pain.

 

[Ice-Tray]

Read my earlier post. I said that I didn't think the benefit of getting swept in the first round would outweigh the cost of the assets the team would have to give up. This team simply isn't built for the playoffs. I don't think TDL deals with inflated asks are the way to go. YMMV

This team is exactly built for the playoffs, and the assets you worry about are imaginary at this point. We are in the running still at the moment without adding a thing.

If we add a player that is for now and the future, we shouldn’t be worried so much about the assets though in my opinion.

Different strokes I guess

Maybe not yet, he is still young and learning. I think it bodes well for him he good underlining numbers and advanced stats playing majority of his time on the third pair - I think it likely means he is due for a bump in ice time and Toronto couldn’t afford to do that given their aspirations.

He‘s still very young and will likely take Gustavsson’s PP time in WSH. In Toronto he wouldn’t have been given much an opportunity to succeed anyway with the McCabe trade. So it won’t take long to see if he sinks or swims given more responsibility, if you’re Washington you don’t make a move like this if you don’t plan on giving him minutes.

Enough about the Leafs, though.

I wonder if Dumba would resign here?

I hate the Leafs lol I'm not sure where you're going with this. Doesn't mean they are a bad team.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Does the Toronto hate not wear off a bit? It's been almost 20 years since that rivaly was relevant.

 

[Cosmix]

As a few have said, we might be better off signing a UFA in the summer than make a trade and give up draft picks, prospects and roster players.

Our low probability of getting into the playoffs makes me wary of trades for rentals.

Long memories in this provincial rivalry.

Also, why would anyone here want the hate to wear off? Anyone here have the laffs as their second team?

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Imagine thinking Sandin is a good prospect.

 

[Ice-Tray]

i guess no one is willing to answer the question

would you take Dubas as the Sens GM over Dorion?

I think that is telling

I wouldn’t trade PD’s rebuild for anything Dubas could put together. I also want nothing to do with him when PD is let go.

His team has been a stagnant disappointment for 5 straight years now….

No thank you.

There, now there is one does doesn’t want the guy.

It might be because of your location, but Ottawa Leaf Fans are a different breed of douchebag. They are single handedly keeping the rivalry alive despite the time lapse that you mentioned.

I mean, I remember it like it was yesterday too, but the sting has long since worn off and I feel nothing about it now. Thinking about Jeff Friesen hurts the most. And I hate the Habs way more because of actual recent playoff series'.

I guess I just don't get how you can keep it alive all this time when the rivalry has been irrelevant for almost 2 decades.

 

[branch]

That's not right on the Kane return. Super unfair. That's not a level playing field at all.

That I believe. Some of the games I've travelled to Ottawa for were Leafs games and one was a pretty awful experience.

Up 4-0 on em and they came back 5-4 in OT. I took the bus back to my bro's place with drunk painted up Leafs fans gloating the whole way. Then I got off at the wrong stop late at night and walked for like an hour until I found my way.

I get it to a certain extent, its just that we don't really play games that matter against them and haven't in a long time, and I have a hard time stoking the hate flames without that. It's not like they've had much success to shove in our faces either.

That's not right on the Kane return. Super unfair. That's not a level playing field at all.

Should have tried being an MLB fan through the Yankees WS wins. Talk about an unfair playing field. We've got it lucky that this is as bad as it gets.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Hopefully Dubas gonna mess up the chemistry of his roster by making so many moves and make their inevitable first round loss that much more satisfying.

The infamous flu game in 2004?

 

[NB613]

Go get Jensen NOW Dorion

Thought washington does this so they can sign Jensen moving forward…

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Seriously, we're going right back to how things used to be before the cap was implemented. Like, how the f*** do the Rangers get Kane for basically nothing?

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I wonder what they’re going to do with that 1st.
