Sujet: Stop trading for ChychrunOthers - Discuss
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>You are correct in your analysis. So many Ottawa CF posts do not appreciate the bonuses to paid and how it affects the cap, or the upcoming expensive RFA signings in 23/24.
And you have laid the cap roster for the Sens in 22/23. I still say the Giroux and his 3 year contract might have messed up the Sens in the final two years of his contract....despite being a good player, and the Sens ability to retain younger players.</div></div>

The 6.5 mil in Cap space would have been the room for a Chychrun trade and some breathing room for other positional options but I'm a huge fan of the signing. I think that's the veteran guy this team 100% needed to bring on to this group. He will be huge for Stutzle, and Tkachuk. Maybe a year too long but he's here. He'll be able to teach how to score, how to lead, how to win face offs and everything else. He was one of the NHL's biggest talents for a long run. I think it off sets the cap he's using.

Sujet: Does Fiala really fit
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ironshadow</b></div><div>Fiala is an interesting player. Can look like Mcdavid Lite (Super Lite) at times but also goes very cold. Thats just how he is, hes an up and down player. Now do I think he fits with stutzle? i think players of that caliber can fit with just about anything. Hell fiala's center this season was freaking frederick gaudreau. But IMO im not sure hes really what ottawa needs if we are gonna look at the team itself. The defense (People can praise prospects all they want but we just dont know until they reach The nhl level) and goaltending are bigger issues for me with the senators long term. I wouldn't do a trade for Fiala if i was ottawas general manager because you have enough high end talent and skill. I think someone like Perron on a 2 or 3 year deal would be better overall. Vet with playoff experience and scores clutch goals. I think patience should be the way forward for Ottawa's forward core imo. Im interested to see what they do as someone who watches a lot of Sens hockey</div></div>

I haven't watched a ton of Minny games, except when they are in town but from Fiala's highlight package and watching Stutzle play, I think the two of them would easily develop chemistry the way each of them play.

The Goalies, like it or not are set for the next 3 years. Thats a good chunk of time for Sogaard or Leevi to figure out who gets the next shot. Writing is on the wall for Gus this season if he can't grab it from one of Murray and Forsberg. I'm not sure if Gus moves the needle for Buffalo but they could give him an opportunity of a starter/split and whatever else in a swap for JJ Peterka (Stutzle's old linemate in Germany for his draft year).

Sujet: Laine Rumours Thoughts
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claesson4Norris</b></div><div>Laine is sick, but this doesn't make sense. It is an obscene price for a rebuilding team to pay. I'd rather have a future top 6 player, a future top 4 RD, a potential future starter, a 1st and 2nd in one of the deepest drafts in years + a 2/3C who can be traded for more stuff.</div></div>

I am a huge Formenton and Lassi fan. I think Gus has a great chance at being a started and we robbed Pits. However, Laine's age would fit this entire Sens window, his floor is 30G which is what we need. We have Brady as a No 1 LW, he would be a No 1 RW and our own draft this season would give us a No 1 C likely. My expectations of Formenton are a little lower. If he ends up being a middle 6 / 1st line PK'er with that speed and gives me the same as my expectations of White. 6 years of 45-55 (18-25G 20-35A) then I would be happy. Same with Lassi, if he becomes a second pairing, great breakout rush skater with a heavy shot for the PP and great puck control, I would be thrilled. It's Laine's age and ceiling that makes this worth it. I would probably include White instead of Tierney if needed. He likely gets passed by our 1st overall draft choice and Brown and finding a 3C is much easier that finding Laine.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div><strong>‘This is what I am cofortable giving.” <strong>

Is why 85% of the trades on here are laughable. Fans want something for nothing, or at least as little as possible.

This is not nothing. But most posts are. There isn’t a centerpiece here though. You’d have to give up at least one of your “untouchables”.</strong></strong></div></div>

I appreciate that you acknowledge these pieces are not nothing. Formenton and Lassi will be great players and I believe that Gus' season last year is a write off and will normalize this year and end up being a starting goalie. Again, I'm not sure why Ottawa was included in these rumours, I'd love to see him here but I don't think we have the pieces that meet the traditional 1for1 centerpiece trade. Financially, this rumour confuses me the most. I don't see this trade as being too far off from a quantity stand point. I was channeling my inner Doug Wilson here. It's his 1st rounder included and his Tierney. Formenton is better than Norris or Balcers, Lassi is better than Demelo and any of these goalies have potential. I feel like Gus has the best ceiling so I included him. Capfriendly is notorious for what you mentioned and I try to avoid that in my posts and love the dialogue (mostly) on CF.

Sujet: Sens Trade - Stone
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>krakowitz</b></div><div>Last year, the Caps carried 22 throughout almost the entire season, so they would have one extra spot flexible to injuries. This is typical of a Barry Trotz team, as well as a few other coaches throughout the league. So it isn't "very rare"</div></div>

It was an oversight on my part. You're right there still needs to be (lets say two more at minimum) I had originally thought about Steen because of age but didn't think there was a way to have him included but maybe someone like Gunnarsson? Clears 3 million and someone like Paul, McCormick from our side on league minimums to fill the spot. Both of these guys will be filling the 21-23 spot on Ottawa's roster and could fill in those here. Or Ben Harpur/Boro to replace Gunner down the left side.
