Tkachuk would probably start with the SJ pick assuming it isnt top 3 and Batherson. Not ready to give that up plus other pieces

Lucic's contract is just too long for it to ever make sense imo

Yeah I agree about the pick, I just did this because it looked better . Though I think they shouldn't get the SJ pick and Batherson AND be able to get rid of Lucic's contract. But yeah, it probably needs to be the SJ pick going to Calgary to make them accept anything close.

Flames need that cap space though so dont underestimate the cap dump.

Find another home for Reilly - Edmonton isn't it.

They don't really need cap space. They have

They have the space. And if they need to buy him out in year three, they can

Well it would be three years left on his contract, so it would expire before Lafrenière and Stützle would need to be resigned. And Bobby Ryan's contact would be expiring before Lucic's too. So Ottawa has room to take advantage under the salary cap.

I mean yeah if they wanna stay outside of cup contention they are fine with space. But if they want to add a UFA or trade for someone, they will need a little more space.

Well said.

Yeah, I didn't put much thought into where I was sending him, I just thought he's a great offensive D-man and would be good running a PP with McDavid

Yo @Hockeytor15 and @Torontoleafs15 u guys are confusing me.
One of you always agrees with me and the other always disagrees but I keep getting yall mixed up
LOLOL

For the sake of my mental wellbeing I can't handle the thought of three years of Milan Lucic in Ottawa.

I'm not a fan of adding any more bad contracts beyond next season. You're hoping for Development next year, but you still expecting them to be bad. Beyond that, I want the sens to be icing a competitive roster.

I don't expect them to be bad. I think they will be icing a competitive roster, but they also need to leave cap space for their younger players, and Lucic will fill that space until Ottawa's younger players will need contract extensions. He'll also provide physicality, experience...etc for 3 years. His contract sucks but Ottawa can take advantage of their cap space for now.

didn't realize we had similar names

Yup, they have too many LHD as it is, and the best PP in the league since the 1970's. Reilly probably wouldn't even make the team, he has zero chance of making the 1st PP unit.

I understand the reasonning but Ottawa's never been a cap dump destination in the NHL, it just doesn't happen.

Damn bro! I didnt mean to change your name!
Im sorry!
I just thought it was funny!

@mhockey91 he is back with his antics

turris similar to malkin. What a legend

Duchene the best...ever
