Sujet: Not too expensive additions
I think in this Niederreiter is displacing Batherson on 2nd line, and I probably flip Pinto & Joseph - I think Greig-Pinto-Batherson has a lot of potential as a line, both 2nd half of this season and next season.

Tanev for 2 years - I think that would make re-signing Chychrun tough. I don't necessarily mind it, but it likely is making that choice. A one-year might be better there. Although they can start talking to Chychrun on extension the same time they can start talking to Tanev, so lets assume that the extension and Tanev's contracts match up.

At some point one or more of the "rebuild" players is going to have to be moved out - they won't be able to keep signing everyone to long term deals forever. I think the only 3 completely safe from being moved should at this point are Tkachuk , Stuzle & Sanderson.

Sujet: huge trade for fun dont pay any attention to this
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xspyrit</b></div><div>For Boston to make this trade, they'd need to be in a position of strength regarding Carlo and want to add forwards instead. But they're not. They don't have the depth to move on from Carlo

Those who would say no because of value are out of their minds. DeBrusk is UFA for christ's sake

Poitras had early hype but he's going to be a middle-six 2-way forward. He's not Norris or Batherson level.

Kubalik + 2nd doesn't get you DeBrusk but the difference is not not very big. Kubalik would be more successful on a team like Boston

So it's basically Norris + Batherson for Carlo + Poitras

I think the value is very close to fair but the problem will be perceived value, Sens are underachieving (which is pretty normal when you start the season with DJ Dorion, I have been saying that for years), so Norris and Batherson value is down. Plus it will take more time for Norris to get his game back after such a serious injury</div></div>

Dude, I'm in Ottawa and a Bruins fan. These are the two teams I follow.

To break it into the two halves that you did:

1. The difference between Kubalik + 2nd and DeBrusk is large. Wouldn't even start to consider that if I'm Sweeney.

2. Forgetting whether the trade is even possible due to cap, the contracts that Norris and Batherson are on - they haven't yet and might not live up to. Carlo is one of the top defensive D in the NHL, and makes less than either of them. Think of him as a bigger, much better Zub. Poitras is running as middle six C on a FIRST PLACE TEAM as a teenager, 1st year of entry level contract. Bergeron was also a "middle 6, 2-way forward" in season previews before their cup win. Poitras isn't Bergeron, but he can hockey.

You'd have to be the pre-cap Leafs or Rangers (ie. money doesn't matter in the slightest, ignore salaries completely) to make this deal, and even then I think it's still in the Sens' favour by quite a bit.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Fergy22</b></div><div>Kelly and Chartier are career 4th liners no disrespect to them they but they have hit their ceiling, I doubt they crack the Stars lineup.
Dellandrea could end up being a middle six in Ottawa. Carrying Faksa for another year would be sour but if you’re giving away picks I am sure Ottawa would consider it. I just don’t think Tarasenko is worth it.</div></div>

Rourke Chartier doesn't move the needle on that deal, but hasn't been bad - he has been one of the best Ottawa forwards positionally. I think he's a really good depth forward for the Sens - the only reason to put Kastelic there is size and toughness. I actually think the Sens should keep him around next year on a similar deal - 2-way, but with a pretty high AHL salary ($300K this season). I just wonder if he works out like Michael Amadio did - he looked not bad in his cup of coffee with the Sens, now a productive regular with a ring.

As far as Dellandria and middle six - I think the 3rd line is Pinto, Grieg &amp; Jarventie if they trade away Tarasenko and Kubalik after game 41. If Dellandria were to be part of a return and keeps Jarventie in the AHL the rest of the year, all good. Faksa is taking on a fair bit of next-year salary.

The Sens need to sprinkle in some veteran competition for key minutes with the salary cap room they have if they don't make a big move of trading one of the young locked-up players

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kyle_Okposo_Lover</b></div><div>wel you clearly did not read the forum because it was per 82 game basis. Not to mention he played way more minutes per 60 than dozens of guys below him lol.

Why are you arguing for Kyle Palmieri lmao my point is that i wouldnt consider him a scoring winger because he had two good seasons, also showing how using career stats is stupid.</div></div>

I don't give a crap about Palmieri and never mentioned him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kyle_Okposos_Lover</b></div><div>Debrusk isnt a scoring winger, he overproduced last season and is finally seeing regression. Hes a 20-25 goal scorer, not a number id consider a goal scoring winger.

Obviously he has underproduced to start the year and will heat up to finish above 20 goals at some point but he is not that guy. Not saying Boston should trade him for Pageau but its not very off in terms of value</div></div>

Debrusk is a scoring winger. He scores a lot of goals. 27 last year, 25 the year before.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kyle_Okposo_Lover</b></div><div>70 skaters finished the season with a 30 or higher goal pace last season. To me, thats what it takes because thats a top 6 scorer. So a 30 goal scorer on the third line imo is a strong scoring winger, but a 30 goal scorer on the 2nd line is pretty average, depending on other, unrelated factors to push them in other directions.

Thats just how i do it tho</div></div>

54 players total had 30 or more goals last year.
A 30 goal player on the 2nd line is "pretty average"? It just isn't. You're talking nonsense.

Sujet: Kenny Doesnt Really Have To Rip Himself A New One Right
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>cody_tugak</b></div><div>Just wanna break things down a little here, what you are saying is that Ceci, yes he's got a rep if poor play, but he also has a reputation of playing top 4 minutes while being a player who's not acquired to but does anyways and he actually doesn't do a bad job at it, OK... Ceci with the 2 2nd round picks (2024 2nd being basically a late first at this point) for Carlo doesn't twitch your yes meter in anyway and then here's a perfect comparison for taking on cap, Patty Marleau with a 1st which was a 6 mill cap hit, Brown in total would be just around 4 with a unprotected 2026 1st...</div></div>

Ceci is not as bad as he had the reputation for in Ottawa. He's still significantly worse than Carlo. Why would Boston trade Brandon Carlo for a worse defenseman?

Not to mention that Boston doesn't have the cap space to take Brown &amp; Ceci for Carlo. They have 54K in cap space right now.
