Happy Wife, Happy Life always trumps

I guess Ottawa being a great place to raise kids is a net positive in this case.

Don't blame peole for not wanting to stay in US with what happens there pretty frequently...

Isn't the goal to get RD to play with Chabot?

Of course but we don't need a defensive liability for Chabot!

 

[playasRus]

Malkin's contract must set the blueprint for a Giroux contract now? Ballpark of 6M x 4 years? Not sure how I feel about 4 years for a 34 year old.

I am not sure if it does, how many rings and goals Malkin has?

 

[SensFactor]

My guess 4x4.5 for Giroux, front loaded

May need to add a little bit to that offer. Could be a 3x7 or 4x6 or 5x5 front loaded.

I think production typically drives the pricepoint more than previous team championships.

Malkin is a 60-80 point guy - so still a 7M guy. But is old and injury prone so the team doesn't want to give him a long term deal. They compromise on both sides and he gets a long deal but lower cap hit and if he hits that 70 points for 1-2 more years, great for Penguins, and he still gets 6M for the last two years. If he ends up being a 50 pt player/injured the rest of the contract, Pens have their lifetime guy retire with Crosby and Letang in 3-4 years and do basically what Senators should have done with Alfie at the end.

In that same vein, Giroux is currently likely tracking to be a 60-70 point guy, but age factors in. We give him that 3rd-4th year that is major risk for any team to expect production from a 36-38 year old, and he lowers his cap to that 5.5-6M range.

Or we sign him at 2 years for 8M per.

Highly doubt Giroux will be getting paid that much.

 

[2CHAINZ]

It's after 12. Is Giroux a Senator?

My money's ono 6M x 3 years. We learned from Murray that 4 years is a bit of a gamble, 3 won't handcuff us for Sanderson's next contract. Other team will offer 6M x 4 years, but we'll max out bonus money and he can retire after with happy wife, home camp here, and get ready for a gig in player dev.

Total guess.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

If possible, I'd like 2 years for Giroux, so we have cap space to re-sign Sanderson.

Wrong 12. One more to go.

Yeah this is about right imo. I think it might be closer to 6.5M though.

 

[saskriders]

4x6. NMC, maybe in the last year he waves to cup chase though.

 

[R2010]

I mean what I heard yesterday was 2 years. But I dunno.

 

[SensFactor]

Tkachuk
Norris
Batherson
DeBrincat
Stutzle
Giroux
Pinto
Formenton
Connor B. (if not traded)
Joseph
Kastelic
Crookshank
Greig
Watson
Gambrel
Kelly

That's one heck of a forward group if you ask me. Scoring, toughness, speed.... I just wish the young guys were a bit older but solid group nonetheless.

 

[Sun God Nika]

If we get Giroux I’ll eat the worst pizza in town …. Gabriel’s

 

[RAFI BOMB]

 

[saskriders]

Elliotte Friedman's latest article says Ottawa and Florida are the favourites for Giroux with Carolina lurking.

 

[Silky Johnson]

no 1st, Greig or Pinto for a pending UFA please

First can go. Weegar fixes the D and signing G makes it a late round first.

Top 10 protected just incase shit goes south.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Ottawa should go hardcore after Chris Tanev or Andersson(would be dream acquisition).

I would without question trade 2013 top 10 protected for Andersson + Brown + Sokolov/Jarv

I may, may even entertain Greig. That's how highly I think of Andersson. Would be absolutely unreal.

top 10 protected 1st, Greig, Brown for Andersson + 4th line C is max I'd do and wouldn't hesitate.

We'd have a top 5 D in the league if Sanderson comes in and plays as expected(not even lights out).

But I think Petry is going to be our guy. Friend of mine told me Petry is our target, even with all rumors of leaving Canada.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Well if they trade for Weegar after 12 pm they’ll probably be allowed to talk contract with him first.

 

[Silky Johnson]

The goaltending we are starting the season with is scary

Fixed

 

[Silky Johnson]

Best top 6 in the league is a little over the top. Norris, Stutzle and Batherson don’t have even 2 full seasons in the NHL and Brady has more development coming. It’s a dangerous top 6 and it’s above average but there are better groups.

Which ones? I expect Tkachuk, Norris and Bath to take steps forward and Stuetzle to take a lead. If that happens, Cat and G just need to maintain to make a VERY good top 6.
