Are the blue doing this just for Cap space? Kyrou is quite a bit more valuable then Bathy imo.

i like it

retain 3 150 000 on Kyrou and OTT might consider is as a "shake things up" move

Kyrou for Brady

The way the Sens been playing, Brady may ask to get the hell out of there lol. How much more losing can he take??

Kyrou is better than Batherson.

You are delusional...

Sens can't really afford to do that and add 3+ M$ in cap

That would mean they can't re-sign or replace Tarasenko next season


But based on? Kyrou not a lot more productive for the cap difference


Add 3+ M$ for how much more in production?


No

Nope. Not even close.





Almost all of this is spot on, but I must remind that point production is not the sole measure of a player. Kyrou is an elite transition player and has shown he's ready to be more responsible/active defensively this season.

Now if he can just remember to how to hit the net (another crossbar pegged last night)...

Ok but what actually has to be added to make up the difference between Kyrou and Brady. Assigning values to core players is always tough but maybe Brady for Kyrou, 2024 2nd, 2025 2nd

or swap out picks for prospect like Dean.

I don't disagree at all but it's just that the Sens can't afford to add that 3 M$ difference. If they had the same cap hit, I'd take Kyrou without thinking because Kyrou is a better skater and goal scorer. Batherson has a tantalizing skillset but is more of a playmaker who needs a scoring talent beside him, which would normally be Josh Norris but the guy is still working on getting his game back.

Also, I can't give you on report on Batherson defensively because no one is good in DJ's systems, even guys who did pretty well elsewhere just before. Batherson is also not fully back to his game he had in 2021-22 before Aaron Dell cheap shoted him. He was the Sens best player before that, more than Tkachuk, Chabot, Norris, Stutzle, etc. He had 34 pts in 31 games and was going to the All-Star game. He was breaking out in a major way

And don't worry about crossbars/posts, Batherson probably averages 1 per game, it's actually kinda ridiculous


As good as Kyrou is, Sens wouldn't do this for a lot of reasons. Two 2nds or Dean wouldn't change anything
