Proposal: 2014/15 Season Trade Rumours and Proposals vol. IV

[StefanW]

Im gonna guess Wiercioch + 2nd for washed up rental dman we cant afford to retain, he sucks and we still easily miss the playoffs.

I think this is a very good guess. I highly doubt we will pick anyone up who is not either on an ELC or else in the last year of a contract so we can let him walk away. We are definitely not looking to add extra millions to our payroll next season when other contracts kick in.

 

[mcnorth]

It was the timing. It we picked him up a month earlier it could have potentially made a difference. We were pretty much out by the trade deadline when you consider how the Bettman point squashes teams together at the end of the year. It would have taken an epic run to make it in, and the team was not a Hemsky away from making an epic run.

I give management a pass on Hemsky for different reasons. He and Spezza were tons of fun to watch when the math said the team was out of it. It gave people a good reason to keep watching games.

I really wish brass had thrown money at Hemsky, ten million for a couple of years. Would have been nice to keep Spezza and Hemsky around for the remainder of Spezza's contract, and then another year with a little bit of flash - just to give the young guns some time in Bingo or an opportunity to play a little more insulated. Would have sent a different message to the players, potential UFA's, and season ticket holders.

It sounds expensive, but you just don't resign Michalek and don't sign Legwand. But I guess it was never an option.

Le sigh.

*edit - but that Spezza trade is looking really solid right now

Yeah, my preference was to use the Michalek+Legwand money to overpay for a top 4 D. But that's all in past now.

Derek Roy and Matt Fraser on waivers

Probably.

 

[God Says No]

Derek Roy and Matt Fraser on waivers

Pass on both.

 

[Blotto71]

With Hornqvist joining the ranks of injured/sick Penguins, is there an opportunity to move Michalek, Greening, Wiercioch? Any or all would be nice.

I always thought penguins might show some interest on Michalek. The time to move him for something good is gone though. At this point might as well keep him. He has been playing well of late.
I'm sure Crosby can get greening 20 goals a season. We need to convince Rutherford of that.

We're there any top 4 Ds available to spend on?

 

[BonkTastic]

Derek Roy and Matt Fraser on waivers

Derek Roy at $1mil I imagine will get claimed by a team dealing with injuries, or an Oilers-esque team who is shallow up the middle. You know, like the Oilers.

 

[Micklebot]

Were there any top 4 Ds available to spend on?

Stralman, Niskanen, Erhoff, maybe Fayne, trade for Boychuk, or Leddy.

Next year, there's Staal, Sekera, Methot, Green, Martin, Michalek, Erhoff again,

I think all those guys would be top 4 on our team (well, maybe not some of the RD, but it wouldn't kill us to have a bottom pair of Cowen or Wier with Ceci).

Soft group of fas last year. A group of guys about I get money they are nowhere near worth (I understand sometimes you have to over spend) but niskanen ? No thanks. Stralman no room. I only wanted ehrhoff. Don't think he was prepared to come play for another rebuilding team though.

 

[Senator Stanley]

With Hornqvist joining the ranks of injured/sick Penguins, is there an opportunity to move Michalek, Greening, Wiercioch? Any or all would be nice.

Wiercioch maybe. I don't see why any team would take on either of Michalek or Greening. Both on new, bad contracts.

 

[BigRig4]

Wiercioch maybe. I don't see why any team would take on either of Michalek or Greening. Both on new, bad contracts.

Someone took Rene Bourque, someone will take Milo.

 

[Benjamin]

I'd take Bourque over Michalek, easily. Lesser of the bad contract and understands playoff games are important.

 

[Ouroboros]

Heatley on waivers.

I think you know what to do, Bryan.

 

[Blotto71]

Heatley on waivers.

I think you know what to do, Bryan.

If the answer is laugh and point, I'm down with it. Anything else is unacceptable.

 

[Micklebot]

Heatley on waivers.

I think you know what to do, Bryan.

If we claim Heatley off waivers, does murray finally win the trade? Or does moving the 2nd (Kent Huskins) that we got for Sutton make it a lose?

 

[operasen]

More interested in what Paajarvi might have to offer. Only if Greening/Michalek was waived though

I wonder if Stars would take a flyer on Heatley to see if he could mesh with Spezza and Hemsky.

 

[Real Smart Sens Fan]

I'd put a claim in on MPS. Waive Greening and see if he can develop a little for us.

 

[operasen]

He was certainly in the discussions around whether Sens would draft him. We took Cowen and he went right after.

 

[Super Cake]

I will laugh if Murray claims Heatley.

 

[Derivation]

I will laugh if Murray claims Heatley.

I will laugh if any NHL team takes him.

 

[Six Assets]

One of the greatest players in sens history

 

[Micklebot]

I'd put a claim in on MPS. Waive Greening and see if he can develop a little for us.

I'd take a flyer on him if we had room on the roster. We need to move some dead weight before we could fit him in though, and it would only be for the sake of trying something different, so not sure it's worth while.
