Sujet: Sens got a Dubois situation
Hmmm, Yes I think deBrincat would sign in Detroit in a heartbeat because it is his hometown and they are already half way through a rebuild. The question is would Yzerman want him? If he does i don't think he would give up any 2023 1st round pick. I think he would for the 2024 1st rounder and maybe the 2023 vancouver 2nd rounder like you have there. The problem is Zadina doesn't score that much. Ottawa wants players that can pop it in and play both ways and are bigger than a keebler elf. The only guy that I can think of on the LW that Ottawa might like to go with those two picks is Domonik Kubalik. 20 goals, 25 assists but a minus 15. 6 foot 2 inches and 27 isn't too old for that team. I wouldn't go any older though and a low cap hit and signed for 2 more years. I think the sens would want someone that has 20 goals or more.
This might be a better middle ground for both teams. Maybe?

[quote\] He's actually pretty good, models his game after Gallagher. He had 16 pts in 19 games when he started in the AHL and received a lot of praise for coach Troy Mann. He continued to impress at the following rookie camp and preseason but unfortunately got injured long term. Sens have had an insane prospect pool the last few years that's why he completely flew under the radar.

I wouldn't trade him as a throw in or anything like that. I would in a package like that but if not, I'd much rather keep him. He fits the Tkachuk/Formenton relentless style Sens are trying to build.[/quote]

A lot of people don't read or watch videos that quote twitter feeds from the likes of Elliot Friedman (and others). They would have to google something and from all the comments on the "teams" posted here you can tell they don't read a damn thing or watch anything lol.
For example, you still run into Hawks fans in denial that they are about to have a fire sale. The Hawks GM himself said to the press that the only guys he isn't talking about moving are Kane, Toews and Jones. The only reason those three are exempt is because they have full no move clauses. So the press guy asked him again to be sure and he repeated that statement. Everything is for sale except those three. Logically, if they waive their NMC, they are for sale as well. Apparently Kane has already said in the past that if they start a rebuild, he is gone. All the big talking heads from the sports networks and real world evidence (look at the Rangers) show that a complete rebuild takes about 5 years or so. So people say they would never trade A. DeBrinkcat. He is awesome and only 24. Well as the big talking heads with years of experience, training, big lists of contacts and access to the staff on the teams and players say, 24 now but by the time they even consider even just making the playoffs, he will be 29. Add another 3 -4 years maybe to compete for the cup. Now he is almost 35. Is he still effective? Maybe, a big maybe. He won't stay if he can't win a cup before he retires. I get that the fans are loyal to the death but the players aren't. They want the cup and after that they want the money. Some are reversed. They can get a lot more for him now than years down the road and the picks would be useless for the rebuild then. But in the meantime, they want to tank the season to get a higher 1st round pick for at least 3 years in a row. You have a bigger chance of doing that with bad players rather than good ones. One other side effect I noticed that people completely ignore sometimes here is that a team still needs to reach the salary cap floor of just over 60 million dollars. That is why teams take those bad contracts that are enormous in exchange for draft picks. "The (insert team name here) decline. (as if they worked there lol, sad and pathetic)" Well I hate to break it to those guys your team will take those to get to the floor and to tank the season. Not forever obviously but for the next 3-4 years yes they will. Hell, Arizona called the Canucks two weeks ago letting them know they are looking to take bad contracts. So yes some teams would take the Murray contract for a midrange draft pick. It is literally a freebie draft pick. But you can't tell this to a many on here or that a prospect is good now compared to when they last heard about them two years ago. Hell, some people think their favorite player on there team is worth Nathan MacKinnon sewn to Conner McDavid with Ovechkin's arms strapped to him and an extra set of eyes from sid the kid.
Disclaimer: No offense intended to Hawks fans. Just the latest example of a team headed into rebuild mode. That isn't a bad thing. Look at my Rangers :)

Sujet: Sens Roster after a couple pints
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Neptune12</b></div><div>I like it the roster looks great! But I would take Formenton out and replace him with a prospect or a pick. I find that Sens fans are underrating Formenton badly. He only played one full NHL season and had 18 goals and lead the NHL in shorthanded goals. He is big and fast af which is perfect for playoffs. Im calling it right now this guy is going to be a game changer in the playoffs just like nick Paul or Palat does. I agree with trading Brannstrom he is good at moving the puck but struggles defensively and will struggle more in the playoffs considering there's more physicality and he is small. Plus we already have Sandy and Chabot who will be our puck moving D. Trade Brannstrom before we stick him on the 3rd D line where he will have short minutes. so trade him to a team while he still is valuable.</div></div>

Good point about Brannstrom :)

please show me where you see decades of experience with the writers of your articles...
the site that you probably think of here would be called the "The Hockey News", not the Writers...</div></div>

That is why I also replied with this.

Like this guy from The Athletic for example:
- "Michael Russo is a senior writer covering the Minnesota Wild and the NHL for The Athletic. He has covered the NHL since 1995, previously for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel and Minneapolis Star Tribune. Michael is a four-time Minnesota Sportswriter of the Year and in 2017 was named the inaugural Red Fisher Award winner as best beat writer in the NHL."

And another, Mr. Elliot Friedman:
"serves as a hockey reporter for Sportsnet and as an insider for the NHL Network. He is a regular panelist on CBC's Hockey Night in Canada." His creds go on and on. And the source of info for some of those trades are guys like that. I think they are much more more qualified than any of us to assess trade value and trade possibilities and the regular day to day news from the NHL.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>alpine4life</b></div><div>The Hockey Writers are not a really good reference to follow, they dont have any insiders, they are just a bunch of regular Joes like you and I....

As for the trades themselves, all of these are pointless without any logics what-so-ever... so just like I said just some regular Joes...</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rf9</b></div><div>you think the sens will give away there best 2 way forward for a cap dumb and a decent prospect. just because edmonton writers have that as a good trade for them, the trade makes 0 sense from the sens prospective.
Sens are in a win now mindset finally, so why would they add a 4th line grinder and a prospect well getting rid of a guy who plays on there second line and top pk. Ott would be looking for a roster add for there top 6, like a pulijarvi or yamamoto</div></div>

Let Elliot Frreidman know then. Post his reply here.

"As per Elliotte Friedman, Ottawa Senators forward Connor Brown is currently leaning towards the idea that he’ll test free agency when his current contract with the Senators expires. As such, the Sens might have to consider a trade and they’ll be plenty of interest if the team puts him out there on the market."
