Sujet: Ottawa dump cap sharks get 1st back
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rob32sjsharks </b></div><div>Except Ottawa has 2-3 kids that are due for a massive raises soon, and Ottawa needs a new goalie and some pieces this offseason. there was talk of them trying to get rid of him the last year or two if I remember correctly. The other thought on this was that Ottawa has way too many draft picks in the next two years and that’s going to create a glut of players all getting raises at the same time with no stagger like most teams prefer. It solves multiple problems for both teams. Ottawa gets another good (albeit not great) prospect, a still valuable pick and big headache of their roster. Sharks get back their pick that will go a long way towards their rebuild.</div></div>

•Ottawa has around 40M in cap space this summer and big contracts of Bobby Ryan and Gaborik off the books in the next couple years. Any massive raises in the near future aren’t an issue.

•Sens need Bobby Ryan’s contract to be cap compliant next year, especially with the potential of two new ELCs on the team from this years draft (lol).

•Hogberg looks promising and Nilsson has a year left. It’d be a horrible idea for them to get a goalie this offseason.

•If Ottawa has a glut of draft picks that all pan out, not only will they be stacked while the players are on the team, but they’ll be able to trade RFA contracts if a cap crunch is ever an issue.

•I think there’s almost zero chance the Sens trade SJ’s pick, and an even less chance they trade it for this package.

Sujet: Youngsters sink or swim
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>swinny</b></div><div>I agree. But you have to bridge the gap too. Bringing up the youngsters to get pummeled nightly doesn't breed a healthy culture..... Edmonton Oilers - Exhibit A.</div></div>

The Sens are getting pummeled nightly as is. I also think there’s a difference between taking a Junior player and putting him in a top line role vs taking an AHL player and playing him in a bottom 6 role.

I’d say all these guys have excelled in the AHL, and are due for promotions. Some of the young players will struggle but it’ll be clear who’s worth keeping in next summers expansion.

Time will tell which direction they go in, but I’d hate to see them lose Connor Brown for nothing in expansion, or leave a guy like Chlapik in the minors to dominate, just to see him become the next William Karlsson on Seattle.

Sujet: Any thoughts
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dadkisser84</b></div><div>There's gotta be more coming back to Ottawa in this deal. Tierney is too young and Sens have too much term control on Tierney to include him in what's essentially a cap dump. Looks like the Backes trade today but an even worse fleece job.</div></div>

Man, I’d kill to have gotten that Backes trade. Thing is with the Sens is I wonder if they’ll end up having to overpay Tierney/C Brown/Duclair just to make the cap floor. If you’re going to overpay they might as well get paid to do so. Plus they might just waste Tierney’s prime as a stop gap to let L Brown/Pinto/Norris/White/ Rossi or Byfield (hopefully) develop. I’d rather have Turris and trade him with retention when the young players are ready.
