Proposal: Trade Rumours/Proposals PART XXXXX

[Icelevel]

I’ll eat my hat if we trade Chabot. Highly Highly doubt it

Intriguing though if we could add Roy and chychrun

 

[Que]

I’d fire DJ before trading Chabot.

Batherson for Whitecloud and Kolesar if Vegas is open to it.

Would also look at Hayes @ 50% in the off-season if you can build a package around Joseph and futures.

Jeremy Swayman is an RFA at seasons end and Boston could have a heck of a time trying to keep him.

 

[bicboi64]

Before we trade anyone (aside from Talbot, Holden, Hamonic and any other upcoming FA's), I'd prefer to fire DJ. Having said that, even if we do get management, I absolutely listen to offers on anyone that isn't Stu or Sanderson

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Guys Chabot isn’t getting traded.

Decency bias but the only guy I would trade is Batherson. For a nice little package.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Adding a rental defenceman in some sort of “win-now” move would be confusing and highly unnecessary. The Senators need to play at a .722 points percentage down the stretch just to get to 95 points this season, which is likely the playoff cutoff in the Eastern Conference. That’s a 118-point pace over the course of a full regular season.

It’s not happening, so don’t make a trade to create a mirage of a playoff chase.

It’s gone.

It’s over.

It evaporated.

You’re behind Philadelphia and tied with Montreal in the standings. It’s time to act like it.

Weekend losses leave trail of anger in Ottawa: 'Nobody is happy right now'

The Senators can still keep their fans interested but it’s predicated on setting some clear objectives down the stretch.

It’s ok if you have a different definition of rebuild. It has nothing to do with patience lol

For me, the rebuild phase and when you’re selling off your old core and trying to stockpile draft picks and build a new core.

We’re past that quite obviously. Tkachuk, Stutzle, Batherson, Norris, Chabot are all locked up long term. Zub and Giroux medium term, and soon Sanderson, Pinto and DeBrincat are coming up.

We’re at the point where the core is being seriously evaluated now and trying to complement it by adding complementary pieces like another top 4 D, top 9 F and a legit goalie.

I really dont think they are passed it. Historically they definitely aren't. The veteran teams are always the best ones and its because they have experience. They are more consistent which results in less swings in winning and losing streaks. Theyre better defensively and make the right play more often than young players. This teams big draft was 2020.... Most players arent remotely close to being NHLers and the ones that are, are rookies.

I dont think making any moves makes any sense under this current regime. They need a new vision and leadership. The core pieces are in place but that doesnt mean they are fully developed. Panic trades right now wont result in this team winning a stanley cup. Thats the goal.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

I've been harsh on Chabot but to trade him is crazy.

Give him a shot under a better coach.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

Guys Chabot isn’t getting traded.

Batherson is even less tradeable than Chabot because of his low wage valuable contract.

though if this version of Batherson is the real Batherson. yea move him.

What do you mean less tradeable?

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

What do you mean less tradeable?

Batherson at 5m is the type of contract that you need to win.

Chabot at 8m is more replaceable. Sanderson himself is gonna surpass him soon if he hasn't already.

Well
Obviously depends who’s getting the 5 million. I would justness what’s out there. If there’s a top 4 guy on a similar deal. That’s an easy swap to make for me

 

[Qward]

Remember how everyone was claiming that Chabot would replace Karlsson?
Now people are saying Sanderson will replace Chabot.

NOW you want Karlsson back.

Get a new coach. Leave Chabot alone.

 

[GCK]

I'd like to trade either Batherson or Debrincat. If we are 100% convinced that Batherson is in the clear regarding HC investigation then I'd likely keep him and hope for a rebound. If we move Debrincat, I'd put him on the market at 50% retained. Debrincat at 3.2M while taking back an expiring contract to make the cap work should be a nice haul. I don't want to go into next year without moving one of them.

 

[DJB]

Before making any big moves a few thigg by a need to happen.

1. A new coach, a real one this time with pedigree and can win so we actually know what we have with our lineup

2. A new GM . Nobody on here trusts Dorion to make a good trade and he shouldn’t be allowed to make it

 

[Burrowsaurus]

These are the proper lines and demoting Batherson is the right move

 

[StoicSensFan]

These are the proper lines and demoting Batherson is the right move

Hopefully Motte replaces Brass on the 3rd line

 

[DaveMatthew]

These are the proper lines and demoting Batherson is the right move

That Pinto line is going to be caved in.

 

[StoicSensFan]

If any positives can be scraped from the Norris news, it's that they probably won't rush to get a top 4 D before the end of the season which is good.

 

[Sens Vader]

Did Dorion have a press conference this morning?

 

[Bileur]

Was looking at Matt Roy's HockeyDB.

Saw he was 27 and I am like damn he is old. Then I realized I was born 6 months before this guy.

Life hits you fast :')

Just wait until guys born when you were done high school start getting drafted…

These are the proper lines and demoting Batherson is the right move

If Motte is healthy he should be in over Brass. That line will need help in its own end.

 

[Que]

If any positives can be scraped from the Norris news, it's that they probably won't rush to get a top 4 D before the end of the season which is good.

Another player saving Dorion from himself.

 

[Senscore]

If any positives can be scraped from the Norris news, it's that they probably won't rush to get a top 4 D before the end of the season which is good.

. . . . . or Dorion will double down like with Matt Duchene.

 

[Big Muddy]

The Sens aren’t rebuilding anymore, Chabot isn’t on the table

Maybe it boils down to the definition of rebuild, but what would you say we are doing?

We need a goalie, a RD, and not sure about Debrincat next year, but might have another hole in the top 6 to fill as well. We occupy the 25th seed (8th worst).

Not sure whether its a rebuild or some other term, but we are definitely needing to make several additional moves before we can have realistic hopes of making the playoffs and doing something once we are in.

Post of the year. The concept that a team cant have two elite D men either around here seems foreign as it hasnt happened since Redden and Chara but it is possible.

That Pinto line is going to be caved in.

They should be getting easier matchups. Only difference is they switched Batherson and Joseph. Brassard is too slow though he shouldnt be playing.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

I wonder if we are suddenly in market for a goalie with Dorion comments the other day mentioning they are looking at everything.

Demko seems to be available.
