Senators will only take Gudbranson if there is a better sweetener

I'm hesitant on the NSH trade. I don't think it's bad value really, but Hornqvist is 32 and doesn't play a game that ages well. And if Turris comes back to form, he's better than Hornqvist. Hornqvist does have a year less and $700,000 less salary which is nice.

I'm more hesitant than most Preds fans to trade Turris I think. He was injured a lot last year, and I think he is likely to bounce back. Definitely gets me thinking - not sure if I would do the deal or not, so that means it's a good offer. Nice stuff.

Gudbranson actually looked... Good in PIT, if he continues to look that way through Dec ish, I think he'll have some positive value

Gudbranson is overpriced, I will never pretend otherwise. But his play has been fine and lets be honest Sens arent in need of cap space in the next two years. But I can say them wanting a little more, maybe a 3rd but I dont see it costing much more than that.

Five years of Turris? Could just extend the cap problems.

Nash declines because they’re targeting Duchene, which will eat up most of their cap space.

Adding a player like Turris is a good move for the third line, but he's 29. He'll be about in his mid thirties when the contract is done. I just wonder if he's worth it. It may be moot anyway, the defense is laughably bad.

ummm, Nashville actually GAINS space by that move. Turris makes more than Hornqvist.

Yes, marginally, I’m saying if they are able to move Turris they won’t want a similar cap hit. They’ll be looking to save more than $700k.

If they want to move him without taking a similar player back then they probabaly gonna have to pay a fair bit.

Most certainly they’ll have to sweeten the deal, and substantially, that’s a bad contract.
