Confirmed with Link: Mike Condon (PIT) to the Senators for 5th round pick

If hypothetically Condon plays good for all the games he starts, what do we end up doing with him? He is a ufa after this season.

Just let him walk? Trade him at the deadline? Trade Hammond instead?

He walks

How good are we talking? Again, this is highly hypothetical and I don't expect it, but if he were to play half the season looking like a bona fide starting goalie, we'd be silly to simply let him walk. I'd definitely try to trade him at the deadline in that case. If the market price is too low, trade Hammond for whatever you can and give him a 2/3 year deal, run an Anderson-Condon tandem for a year or two.

Super hypothetical, though. Anderson and Hammond situations are both huge wildcards at the moment.

There is always 2-3 teams looking for a backup for a cup run. We can recoup our 5th, or at least close to with Condon/Hammond come February/March.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I've always been more impressed by Condon than Hammond tbh.

I'd rather have him long-term as a back-up.

And then draft another Hoffman. Sweet!

Looked solid in his first start with the team if the extended highlights are any indication.

Congrats on the shutout.

 

[BonkTastic]

Looked good last night, but especially great in the 3rd. He earned us those two points.

That 5th round pick has directly bought us 2 points so far, and counting.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Great first game.

I wonder if he rolls with the yellow skates and blank mask for good luck now.

The 2 points were great, but more importantly it gave Anderson the opportunity the spend some guilt free time with his family.

Exactly! I like what Dorian has done with this situation. A 5th is more than worth it.

I disagree. If hypothetically condon plays the most out of all our goalies and we make the playoffs, it would be hard not to extend him as an Anderson replacement. Depends on the $$$ but I could see us try to get rid of Hammond or send him down if condon plays 40 games and has good numbers and Hammond is awful. Even if just to upgrade the backup position.

So after Condon's shoutoot.. Should we try to trade him for a 4th?

That would be good asset management!

Agree. Not sure why the sarcasm.

Testify!
