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

[GoSenatorsGo]

It’s up to you to believe whatever you want, I’m just passing along what I’m told from people within the organization.

I’ve never claimed to have a direct contact to management, but people in the building talk and hear things.

10+ years ago, I had a source in their HR department, which meant I would get more concrete info. Not sure how far back you can go and look, but I was within like $100K of Zibanejad and Stone’s post ELC contracts within close succession. They left the organization but I still know people in the building.

There are also people on here that I have given more detail to directly, vs what I actually post. For example, I told people what the reverse retro jersey would look like for this season before it was revealed.

But there have also been times where I mention “something” is close to happening, and then shortly after it gets announced. (Extensions, minor trades etc)

So take whatever you want from my comments/posts.

Always appreciate the info you provide!

You denigrated him in your previous response. Not classy.

Dude you don't need to explain yourself.

Larkin 8/8.75M per

Probably an idea what Debrincat is worth ..

Was looking through my post history.

Not groundbreaking stuff, but mentioned Zub deal was done the night before it was announced, and that Sens got Lebreton (without OSEG despite that being the buzz at the time) and had an unannounced press-conference scheduled for the next day.

I’m sure there’s more, but the last 5 months with a newborn are all a blur.

No idea why you feel the need to justify it dude... Anyone who's been around here long enough knows your not just blowing hot air to get a reaction out of us.

My good man, you typed hundreds of words more than what was needed to reply here.

I think 2 words would have summed up an appropriate reply.

 

[Dionysus]

I really like that authority part.. First time I see an "insider" question it.

On Parayko ..not wanting to come to Ottawa . Understandable if he wants more of a sure thing to be in the playoffs and other things.

View attachment 660214

No problem. Parayko to Calgary, Weegar to Ottawa!

 

[L'Aveuglette]

The less dman scrubs we're directly connected to the better the chances are that we're honing in on the big fish, AKA Jake Chychrun.

Said with tongue firmly in cheek but it is a relief to know Parayko is an Ottawa hater. Wish the same would be said about Dumba lol.

 

[Korpse]

I don't care what they do. I juust don't want to see Holden play the right side anymore.

 

[JD1]

I would move Greig, a 2024 1st and a lesser asset or two in a heartbeat for Chychrun

Chabot Chychrun
Sanderson Zub
Brannstrom Hamonic

With what we have upfront and that defence, the cup window opens next fall.

You've still got
Stuetzle
Norris
Pinto
Kastelic

Down the centre and we'd be far more equipped to withstand a center injury after Pinto, Kastelic and Stuetzle playing a full season at C

 

[Cosmix]

Do we even have two seconds? 24 and 25?

We have our own second round pick in 2024 plus Washington's 2nd round pick in 2024 gained from the Connor Brown trade.

I don't care what they do. I juust don't want to see Holden play the right side anymore.

I also don't want to see him play the left side anymore either.

 

[Hale The Villain]

No problem. Parayko to Calgary, Weegar to Ottawa!

Apparently Parayko's family are all big Oilers fans. Not shocking since he's from Edmonton.

Not sure if he'd agree to go to the Flames. Article makes it seem it is Oilers or nothing.

I want keep Greig and would rather give up a future 2nd round pick in 2024 (either our own or Washington's).

Don’t know why players don’t want to come here. With a new ownership and team close to make playoff for the next 8 years

 

[GCK]

Don’t know why players don’t want to come here. With a new ownership and team close to make playoff for the next 8 years

Taxes, taxes, weather and Melnyk hangover and taxes.

 

[Cosmix]

Wouldn't touch Provorov with a 10 foot pole.

I get the meaning of the phrase are but your use of it made me want to know how its usage came about.

See: What’s the origin and history of the phrase “ten foot pole”?

Taxes, taxes, weather and Melnyk hangover and taxes.

I don't think you give the weather, weather sufficient emphasis!

 

[Hale The Villain]

Don’t know why players don’t want to come here. With a new ownership and team close to make playoff for the next 8 years

Small Canadian city, budget team, high taxes, bad weather, arena in the middle of nowhere, non-contender, previous ownership issues, etc..

New ownership and a new downtown arena will help attract talent but we'll never be a top destination for many reasons.

 

[Butchy Dakkar]

Damn will his beliefs allow for him to be traded

I forgot about that

Pass on that alone

 

[Cosmix]

Then you still have the other half of the equation. Does them team want him back?

Chabot at 8 AAV
Sanderson at say 7 AAV
Zub signed for a few years

How do you slide Karlsson in at a very high AAV? There's literally no way around that problem that doesn't involve moving Chabot


And if they win in MSG Thursday night, that might tilt PD into acquire mode.

Even if Karlsson wants to be traded to Ottawa, and Dorion wants him, the problem is Karlsson's AAV.

The team would have to trade equivalent AAV to create the cap and salary space, or get SJ to retain a substantial part of Karlsson's salary for 4 years.

If SJ and/or an intermediate party would agree to retain about 50% of the AAV for 4 years, it would cost substantial assets (roster players, prospects and future draft picks) in compensation. I therefore highly doubt that Karlsson will be traded to Ottawa. However, Karlsson would be great to improve our ES goal scoring.

We have Brady though

Ask Claude

Giroux is the rare case of an local guy wanting to come home.

I wouldn't use him as an example of a top tier UFA agreeing to sign here.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Brady was drafted here. Claude just happens to live in the city in the offseason so it was kind of a no brainer

Ottawa will always have problems attracting players. Retaining players is a different thing
