Proposal: Trade Rumours/Proposals PART XXXXII

[GCK]

Yes, I've always been perplexed about how some talk about playing in U.S. cities in glowing terms like its nirvana while dumping on Ottawa. I have lived for many years in many U.S. cities and can tell you from 1st hand experience that its not all that its stacked up to be, and that Ottawa is definitely an attractive place to live relative to most of those U.S. cities. The disadvantage is really taxes for a young adult that wants to maximize earning power, but that's really pretty much the main, large drawback.

But, but all 26 year old multi millionaires want to go to the hottest clubs and best restaurants, especially considering how many free nights they have.

f***ing Dorion. Can't believe he didn't get any value by trading the rights to Tierney. Screw up after screw up.

Well, unless their name is Josh Norris. Then they would rather go on long walks.

Cant blame Tierney for wanting to play close to home.

Hope you're all ready for an influx of new fans in a few hours.

Always welcome new fans!

As long as it helps attendance numbers at home games, who cares.

I truly think a huge part of the perception of Ottawa in the NHL is based on where the arena is. The trip from the airport to Brookstreet Hotel is not a great showcase of the city. F. Forsberg's perception of the city and reaction to the downtown when he finally went there (after what, 7 years in the NHL?) is pretty illustrative of that point.

Imagine the let down at this point if we don’t get Giroux …

Pressure is on. Get err done

 

[SensFactor]

If we get Giroux AND Weegar....I'm going to lose my shit....fans better FLOOD the CTC on opening night....

DeBrincat
Giroux
Weegar
Sanderson
Talbot
Pinto (full season)

No reason the arena shouldn't be PACKED!

No reason building shouldn't be PACKED!

I don't think opening night attendance has historically been the problem.

If Derek Stepan and Chris Tierney couldn't fill the arena nothing will.

Weegar does not want to play here

I actually sort of suspect that we got extremely close and when we talked to weegar he nixed the deal.

Really? I heard on radio this morning he has family here and is open to the idea

Where you reading/hearing this from?

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

I am not reacting... until I see it official official.

Im still dreaming at this point.

That's false

 

[pzeeman]

Mods: Can we get a live GDT for today?

 

[guyzeur]

f***ing Dorion. Can't believe he didn't get any value by trading the rights to Tierney. Screw up after screw up.

I'm not taking debate

 

[cudi]

No work today. My nipples are erect. Lets go.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Hoping for a Zub extension.

 

[Slippy]

I know many people are trying to figure out what the Sens can add based upon the rumoured budget number (75-76M?). Remember annual budget is likely based on salary not cap hit. So when looking at re-signing Norris his contract could be lower in the early years to allow greater flexibility now to bring in immediate help.

Say he gets 7x7, his salary could be $3M in early years and above $7M in later years, giving that extra $4M now to sign Giroux and RHD.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Hoping for a Zub extension.

At this point... if you're Zub, why the hell wouldn't you.

You are guaranteed playing with Chabot or Sanderson and a forward group that is likely top 5 in the NHL next year. Wouldn't even be shocked to here a brilliant value deal as well around 4.5 mil.

But if we are really going big game hunting for a top pairing RD, then I don't see us extending Zub due to numbers game and them banking on Thomson/JBD to make it and supplant the top 3 of Chabot, Sanderson, Top pairing RD.

If we bring in someone like Petry/Marino or lesser/similar to Zub(age or ability or combo of both), then I easily see a Zub extension.

I'm cutting diamonds with mine as we speak

Can't afford guys like Cat unless people like you buy some Stepan jerseys in every color.
