<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Faeyla</b></div><div>The way Seravalli worded his tweet out about it sort of came off as TDA asking for the trade himself. He's been floating in and out as the 7th Dmen this whole time and essentially pushed out of the main roster. He's serviceable at most and is just a waste of right under 2 million to sit in the press box every night for us right now.</div></div>

I like it but have a small concern. I’m not overly familiar with what ever happened in the past but doesn’t have a great track record of being good in the dressing room. Maybe that’s unfair to say. I’m ok with the gamble just as long as holland does his research first. If a guy is going to be around the team but not really playing I’d much prefer he brings an accepting personality to the role. It’s gotta be tough to sit and watch your team play and carry a smile. That’s a small but important component in my opinion.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PurpleHippo</b></div><div>It was tested last game vs. Pitt, which is something Knoblauch seems to do (test different pairings, normally done in case of injury to see who can shift where in a pinch).

I watch Nashville cause I like Carrier and hope that's who we get, Barrie doesn't match what Holland wants with Nurse and I don't see him as an upgrade on Ceci overall.
Also the Nurse Barrie line was pretty widely criticized as they didn't really compliment each others games; however, I'll respect your opinion.

If this is your view of what you want all the power to you, but there is some downgrading in many areas outside of getting Tank (who I wouldn't move Rodrigue for).</div></div>

I can respect the difference of opinion. I knew before posting this was going to get a lot of criticism for the Barrie move. I’m a fan of his always liked the way he sees the ice and sure might not be a stud defensively but I do think that part of his game has improved over the years more than most will admit. I can and do respect different opinions.
When it comes to Rodrigue my issue is being unsure where he fits moving forward with Edmonton. With the oilers swinging and perhaps missing hard on Campbell once that’s settled threw buyout or trade I think oilers will want to take another swing at solidifying the position leaving no questions around it heading into next year. Tough spot for a guy with zero experience. If we could get him in a few games down the stretch that would change a lot but I’m predicting they prioritize trying Campbell over Rodrigue due to financial commitment.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PurpleHippo</b></div><div>You admit to NSH getting the better player while also giving up a first then spend a bunch of draft capital on healthy scratches...
Where are we upgrading, why are we bringing Campbell back up, why are we wrecking the Kulak-Desh line?</div></div>

If you haven’t noticed Vinny has played with nurse for a couple games now. Coach K broke that up not I. It will be far easier to sell Campbell in the off-season if he plays some decent to good hockey down the stretch if he finishes in the ahl I fear buyout might be only option which will hurt even more with browns bonus. Barrie I think is better than ceci by a considerable amount however I’m acknowledging most fans on this site dont watch players often enough and just go with the narrative around their names. Barrie I saw take significant strides defensively since he joined Edmonton and by the time he got dealt last deadline I think of him as a far more well rounded player than he gets credit for. He’s paired with nurse before has had success it’s a nice combo nurse knows his role is defensive side Barrie will do the pinching and jumping into plays. When nurses game it’s simplified like that I think he’s far better more effective player.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bwhsocal</b></div><div>when you already have 13 x 1st or 2nd in next 3 years, on top of the 12 x 1st/2nd in last 3 years drafted, yeah giving up 3 current players (all under (or RFA) contract) for more futures is not needed. broberg would be another decent D prospect, but AZ has a ton, ceci would be expensive TDL next year-not part of future plans, campbell is anchor contract. So yes lavoie would be great to get but not for best D (RFA) decent backup G (27yo) and veteran middle 6 C. in the past AZ does all day but they have too many picks (already close to limit of reserve list) and enough prospects and dont need bad contracts anymore. Sorry but GM has said they are done trading players (core) for futures.</div></div>

If Arizona doesn’t want the deal ok. I’m just looking at it from oilers perspective and that would never be considered.

Sujet: 10 reasons why Jarmo Kekalainen should be hired as GM of the Ottawa Senators
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensonfire</b></div><div>5. The success of making the playoffs + winning a playoff round against the President's Trophy winning Tampa Bay Lightning in a 4 game sweep + Holding a GM job in the NHL for over a decade.

6. The solid track record is in the # of individual signings, trades and draft picks that he's made in 11 years. Looking at each move he's made in 11 years in isolation, there's not much to complain about.

7. Hiring Babcock was probably John Davidson's idea and hiring Jarmo as GM is way way way way better than hiring Peter Chiarelli.

9. When you don't win enough games, you get fired. It's just the nature of the beast.

10. Give me the name of just 1 person that Ottawa should hire as GM and I might believe you ...</div></div>

I’d say Ottawa is currently in better more capable hands.
