Sujet: Ottawa dump cap sharks get 1st back
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blep</b></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.

Your right I know!!! But a guy can hope!!! every day that passes I hate that karlsson trade more and more it depleted our prospects took a top 3 pick in a crazy good draft year and his mammoth contract is killing our ability to retool our roster. To boot he has been a terrible defensive defenseman and he looks uninterested in playing.

Sujet: Ottawa uses draft capital
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jameshgfgn</b></div><div>They already have 2 picks that are going to be high and statistically there is a large drop off the in hitting in after the second pick in a draft even with a draft as deep as this one seemingly is. It’s just math take the player who is already proven over the mystery box especially when you have two higher mystery boxes</div></div> That kind of thinking gets GMs fired. Labanc is a good player but certainly not worth close to 15th overall. Especially after this past year. Cirelli would be the much better target.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mr_Canoehead</b></div><div>May as well wait until the draft lottery on April 9th to see the true value of that 1st rounder</div></div> Lottery doesn't really matter for that pick, if it turns into a top 3, it doesn't belong to Ottawa.

Sujet: Youngsters sink or swim
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blep</b></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.</div></div>

Again agree.

The situation in Ottawa is so delicate. The owner is toxic, yet the team this year was surprisingly scrappy. They had fight. They didn't quit. (Note: Smith should get some Adams recognition imo).

Certainly there are a number of Bellevegas Sens ready to graduate - but the bulk are forwards. Do you play these kids to get destroyed nightly, or make moves that just might begin to breed a winning culture?

I don't see this team making the playoffs next year, however, a couple shrewd moves with the blueline I think they hang around. Even if you bring back Hainsey for a year (he somehow is still relevent!). The bulk of blueline simply isn't ready, and that gap needs to be bridged. I did an AGM where I moved Tierney for Montour (some suggested Miller). The blueline looked healthier.... more competitive with that move imo, while allowing kids to better develop in Belleville.

Moving players like Tierney for more draft capital at this stage is counter productive - although Melnyk may see it differently.

This offseason for the Sens is delicate. Wrong moves could set this back. Oileritis could seep in. Just see the blueline as you have constructed it as being problematic in micing the needle forward.
