Quoting: Sportsing613
Only trade that might make sense is the Washington trade. The Duchene/Stone trades are awful. Ottawa doesn't need Saros and Nichuskin is a bust.
Trade with Nashville has to include either Fabbro or Tolvanen
Trade with Dallas has to include Dellandrea
I wanted to post this.
The Dallas one is the worst, Dickinson is nothing special and we don't need "extra forwards". No to Nichushkin, he has 0 goals in 39 games this year...
Saros is good and everything but he plays on a Contender, he is 5'10. Nilsson, Hogberg, Gustavsson and Daccord (who is killing it in the NCAA), Sens have some future at that position now, they should target picks or GOOD young players instead.
Also, no to Erne for Ceci (and the Sens don't need to add a pick). Erne is soon 24 y/o, looks like another bottom-6 forward
Even the Dzingel trade, while not that bad in value, I'd rather get "just a 1st". Burakovsky is also not needed
I don't know why so many want to get so many "young forwards". Even if all vets get traded (but it will be impossible as you HAVE TO reach the cap floor), so if Duchene and Stone are gone, I assume Dzingel, Pageau and Tierney will all stay
Top-9 forwards (already/most assuredly, possibly in Crookshank's case) :
Pageau (26)
Dzingel (26)
Tierney (24)
Tkachuk (19)
White (22)
Brown (20)
Batherson (20)
Chlapik (21)
Balcers (21)
Formenton (18)
Norris (19)
Crookshank (19)
Possible bottom-6 forwards :
Paul (23)
Gruden (18)
Luchuk (21)
Beaudin (21)
Klimchuk (23)
Nurmi (20)
Kelly (19)
Sturtz (24)
Loheit (18)
Sens don't need quantity, they need quality, particularly if Duchene and Stone are gone. Where could they get that? Draft, because they're good at it or young players WITH POTENTIAL, not Nichushkin, Dickinson, etc.
