Dreger: McKenzie Weegar trade target for Ottawa Senators but Florida still trying to extend him

[TheImpatientPanther]

#HardPass

Fair enough.
He's a top 3D with a full year left.
Think that's light actually now that Ottawa should be outside top 10 in draft slots

 

[King Karl]

Batherson or Formenton needs to be in a deal for Weegar.

That's like saying "one of Weegar or Ekblad needs to be coming the other way".

 

[Wallet Inspector]

I can see it now. Sens defeat the leafs in round 1 game 7.

Its gonna be glorious

I appreciate the sentiment but it's against the laws of the universe for the Sens to win a game 7.

Don't you know Ottawa's area code?

044.

 

[KevinRedkey]

To Ottawa: Weegar
To Edmonton: C.Brown
To Florida: Chychrun
To Arizona: Puljujarvi, EDM 2nd, FLA 2nd, Zaitsev*, OTT 2nd, and Brannstrom/Jarventie

*Ottawa potentially retains on Zaitsev as well

I had a seizure trying to read this.

Those two things are separate from each other. That post was specifically about Ottawa beating Toronto in the playoffs.

Did you just laugh at your own insult? Dunce.

prolly saw the sergachev contract

 

[M4k4]

Sens about to get Christmas in July. Go Dorion GOOO!

Weegar is a bonehead though. Lol Sens can have him

 

[HockeyRulez]

Trade him already

 

[5 14 6 1]

What do you want from Edmonton for him? Would love to add him to our top 4.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

He's from Ottawa and apparently close friends with Giroux. Maybe the trade hinges on the Sens and Weegar agreeing on an extension before the trade is made.

 

[Connor McConnor]

Weegar out, Klingberg in?

 

[playasRus]

To Ottawa: Weegar
To Edmonton: C.Brown
To Florida: Chychrun

Feel like it favours Edmonton and Ottawa - get rid of 4.5M x 2 years, major piece going is C.Brown which we don't have room for in spite him being A1, and Brannstrom/Jarventie are being passed on depth chart/B prospects.
Edmonton gets their piece for relatively low cost.

Arizona gets NO 1st for Chychrun. Gets the equiv of like, 4 second round picks for a top pairing D signed long term, albeit injury prone and not meeting contract expectations.
Florida gets said defensemen, don't have to deal with an unsigned Weegar.

Florida needs to upgrade defensively

Bones Arizona. I'd imagine it could be something like this:

Weegar (presumably re-signed) for 1st next year (now expected middle of the pack)+Brannstrom+return for Brown (2nd?)

Florida sends 1st+Brannstrom+Samsko (our best prospect)+return for Brown for JC.

Hard to care enough about you to keep this going.

That's a lot of value to attach to a 28 y/o d-man about to hit UFA. That package seems more like what would be paid for Chycrun imo.

 

[Silky Johnson]

Batherson or Formenton needs to be in a deal for Weegar.

WTF. You cannot have Batherson and his amazing contract for 1 year of Weegar. The fact that you put him on the same tier as Forms, who you also can not have, is crazy. Bath is a legit top 6 (soon to be proven top line) winger at amazing value.

Go to the box and feel the shame.

Right handed D are typically valued more than left handed D and the assumption is re signing. I agree though it's a heavy signing, but also based on the interest that Ottawa has shown.

Chychun ask is 3-4 first round assets imo. If a 2nd, 1st and a 1st prospect was enough, Florida would have pulled it last season.

Which again I find interesting - Chychrun's numbers look incredibly poor. Yeah he's on Arizona, but I'd be pretty skeptical that he's going to assume a top 2 role on a team looking to contend.

Eh, great contract+being on a terrible team. For Ds that play a lot, much of their numbers are the team: FLorida saw it both ways with Chiarot (worse for us) and Montour (great for us).

I do wonder what the trade ends up. My sense is that Ottawa wants a RhD and seems to like the home town element?
