<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DiehardRedWingsFan58</b></div><div>Your cheap owner Eugene Melnyk isn't giving Alex Pietrangelo 7 yrs x $10.0M he's a cheapskate and besides Ottawa would be the last team he'd sign with other then Detroit.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>littlejerryseinfeld</b></div><div>Did you forget who the owner is?

Maybe with a different owner, if he was 2 years younger and if the team was a year or two further along into the rebuild</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claesson4Norris</b></div><div>He probably wouldn't, but why would Ottawa want to? He's not going to be a top pair Dman for the full length of that deal. Sens would lucky to get two years as legitimate contenders with Petro before he starts declining</div></div>

ALL fair points...forgot who owned this team for a sec! I think I have my answer lol.

Sujet: 2020-21 Virtanen Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>buffbry</b></div><div>He hasn't scored 20 goals once in 5 years, is lazy takes shifts off and isnt s great guy in the locker room, he doesn't have any value for the wings, we would just turn around and trade him elsewhere. We aren't going to include a pick to take on a cap dump and a guy with character issues</div></div>

I'm not arguing with you man! AGAIN, I have close to know knowledge of Virtanen other than looking up his stats. Just figured a team would take a flyer on him to see if he could turn it around. I know this isn't the same situation but look at what a change of scenery did for Fabbri? Now, obviously Fabbri doesn't have the off ice issues that Virtanen apparently does but I do think he has at least a BIT more value than you think.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>There are so many "Perraults" or in the Leafs case, "Johnsson" they teams want to move to create cap space for another player. Just so many sellers and not enough buyers.
Take Johnsson. He contract and "playing value" is let's say a second rounder. But his "trade value" with no cap returned to Leafs is a 7th rounder. Leafs take that 3.4m free cap space, and use to sign a needed position like DeMelo. So in essence it's a trade DeMelo and a 7th rounder for Johnsson. Leafs take that. But trying to find the buyer is the issue, and in Perrault's case his NTC just might a factor.</div></div>

Very true! And this year most of all cap space is at the utmost premium. Perreault's is an M-NTC with only a 5 team no trade list thankfully but I get your point!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bunzy1034</b></div><div>Honestly Copp would be just as good as Strome at 2C, that guy got the definition of carried by Panarin last year. If we aren’t getting a difference maker, someone like Cirelli, Danault, Domi, even Dylan Strome, then we should just hang on to our assets now and give Copp the 2C role for now</div></div>

Not a bad point, I completely agree Strome got carried haha, but he was still able to play fairly well in the 2C role, which is why I could see him doing okay with Ehlers and Laine. I agree a bigger target like the ones you mentioned would make a lot more sense for us long term too. Also, I absolutely love Copp but every time we tried him there it was just "meh." I wouldn't mind trying Rosy first but who knows!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>Far too much for Strome without a new contract. This Strome is far closer to an average 3C that he is to a 2C. He's also looking for a new contact, which will be his last pro contract if it is long term. So, I would think he'll either be overpaid for what he is, or force his way to UFA as soon as he can.</div></div>

He is RFA so he would essentially be under our control but I get your point. That's why I would probably only pull the trigger if we knew we could sign him to a reasonable contract extension. I think this year was obviously an outlier in regards to his performance (thanks Panarin) but I still think he would fit nicely between Ehlers and Laine. All of this depends though, I thought value was pretty close but maybe I'm giving too much.
