Proposal: - Trade Rumours/Proposals PART XXXXIX

You know what kinda sucks but doesn’t? This years draft has a weak group of defenders. (Either that or the forward group is elite beyond compare) We have to be patient. Thomson and JBD are coming - two 1st round draft picks with considerable upside. There will be opportunities to make this team...

With our division being insane, and us going through a sale, seems more and more likely that we will stand pat and do nothing until the team gets sold and we eat another top 10 pick in a deep draft whereby we use the off-season to finally shore up the D, new GM and new coach.

Yet the team looks good enough, especially with Norris on brink of return, that with a top 4 D we could very much go on a tear to make things interesting.

Still though, seems more likely we see Hamonic get exposed as a "top 4 D" for the rest of the season.
 
Silver linings playbook says it’s a great year to be a seller at the deadline. Could get a pretty good return for Talbot, Hamonic and Watson.

Still hoping for a miracle run, but the draft is stacked through the top 10 this year and the top 3 (Bedard, Fantilli, Michkov) are going to be absolute studs.

Possibly better than Zaitsev or Holden on 3rd pair.

Makes 3.8M in salary this year and is signed for next season at 1.4M.

If he's picked up it won't be by us.

Could see a 2nd for Talbot, 3rd/4th for Hamonic and Watson.

DeBrincat and Zub could garner quite a bit though if they don't re-sign.
 
I'd be all for claiming Myers if he was on an expiring contract but he's signed for another year after this. If he doesn't work out his 2.55 million dollar contract could be a problem.
 
I wouldn't mind taking a chance at Myers. He's 25, RD and is signed for a cheap cap hit next semester.

Not sure if he'd be worse than any of our other options on RD after Zub. An organization like TB couldn't squeeze regular game time out of him, but then again, he's playing behind Sergachev, Cernak, Bogosian and Foote.

If Ottawa trades Talbot he'll be the best goalie available. Edmonton, Vancouver, LA, Seattle, Calgary, st Louis, or another dark horse team could be interested.

I wouldn't be shocked if someone traded a 2024 protected 1st for him.

I will say this, Talbot has looked pretty good the last few games. Thankfully he did step up as it was looking more grim for awhile there.

What is latest news on Forsberg?
 
Debrincat at the deadline you figure will go to a team that needs PP help on the right side - Pitt and Carolina need PP
Help and RW depth:

Ott: Owen Pickering, 1st 2023
Pitt: Debrincat, Motte

Can I get an explanation on why so many are still viewing Forsberg as our starter this year?

or that Talbot won't be viewed as an extremely solid backup/1B come trade deadline?

the guy is currently 11th in the whole league in GAA and SV% for goalies with more than 5 games.

on the 28th ranked team, that allows the 7th most shots in the league.

if those aren't good numbers I don't know what would be, guy has given us an opportunity to win nearly every game he's started.

He's been solid in terms of results but I have to say he makes me nervous. Very late to track pucks at times. Seems like a leader in the dressing room! I think him and Forsberg are very comparable. Whoever is playing better should play. Talbot should fetch quite a bit at the trade deadline. Id like to see Forsberg get back to where he was last year. He moves really well in his net.
 
It will be interesting to see what the Sens do at the TDL with their UFAs. Not sure how much these first 4 would garner but I doubt it's much more than late rd picks.

Holden - not sure he would want him at his age, but I doubt he is re-signed
Watson - someone might want his toughness in the playoffs for protected minutes
Motte - is a good defensive forward that someone might want for a playoff run
Brassard - good experienced offensive forward depth for a playoff team

Hamonic - probably belongs in the group above, but Ottawa is having trouble finding someone internally to take his spot. Not sure if any D in the organization is better overall, but I'm hoping for JBD next yr.

Zub - unlike Hamonic nobody in the org is better defensively than Zub & he should be re-signed asap. The defence is weak with him in the lineup & they need at least two upgrades.

Talbot - given the unpredictability of this team & it's goaltending it might not be a bad idea to sign Talbot for another yr although he might want to go to a team that is further ahead that need good goaltending. If he doesn't want to re-sign here than they have to move him at the TDL & get as much as possible, he's been very good this yr.

He has a cap hit of 1.4 mil next season, how's that too much money for a 6/7?

He's also only 25, skates well, hits, there's still some potential there.

I'm talking about his salary for this year. 3.8M is way too much for Myers in 2022/23.

Would be flushing money down the toilet.

It would be the cost of evaluating a player with untapped potential, in an area of weakness. he's still owed about 2.5, not 3.8.

He also has a 5 million signing bonus next year.

Big cost for a longshot.

There's a reason he's been sent down to the AHL twice in the last two years. Not a lot going on between the ears with him.

Said the same when he was getting massive hype back in junior.
