"Stalberg, 31, could not secure an NHL contract after scoring 11 goals and 16 points in 75 games with both the Hurricanes and Senators last season. Stalberg is now heading to Switzerland as he signed a two-year contract with EV Zug of the Swiss League, per a team announcement"
Yea Stalberg really wanted to go play in the Swiss league instead of getting an NHL contract. What are you even talking about lmao.

Ottawa Senators: Viktor Stalberg Leaves NHL for Switzerland
Simple Google search dude. Jesus. You guys would argue that the sky is green if you could. This was a widely known fact.
Interesting! I actually googled it before and found this other article saying he couldn't land an NHL contract.
That being said, the difference between Stalberg and Shore is not 3rd to 7th round especially considering the contractual situation, position and similar stats. Hoping we could've got more for him.

Pretty sure he is RFA at the end of his contract. We could have qualified him for just over 1 mil, so good 4th line center contract for a decent 4th line center.

What do you want from a 4th line? I want energic players that will keep the puck in the o-zone and score a few goals while not costing the team in terms of scoring chances and goals. I believe Paul can be a part of that line I am looking for. I doubt O’Brien will be more than a call-up in case of injuries and I would give one more year to Gagne in the AHL
You see that line as our 4th in the NHL next year?

I have no idea tbh. Will Burrows, Pyatt & Paajarvi still be here next yr? Two of them could be on the 4th line. Brown, Paul, White, Chlapik or JOB are all possibilities to play as the 4th line centre next yr. Who knows? They might make another deal during the draft or pick up a UFA July 1, lots of possibilities.

Trade of the century right there.
Not sure why folks argue so much over 4th liners. Those guys are a dime a dozen.

Doesn't even know which shore brother we had
Dorion, " we traded drew shore for a pick".
Ha, then corrects himself saying it was nick shore. "We drafted his brother a long time ago".
But we drafted Quentin shore. Looked like he was still referring to drew. Oh boy

I can't wait for his Sens Career Retrospective youtube video, complete with Sarah McLauchlan's "I Will Remember You" dubbed over the background.

We don't want him here long-term.
We took the best offer for him at the last minute.
It's anticlimactic, but it's hardly a head-scratcher.
Why not qualify him? It’s only 925k. He could play here next year as a 4th liner. Just don’t get why we move him for a 7th.

A dozen people could play here next year as a 4th liner.
Because a dozen people could play here next year as a 4th liner.

No need to apologize. A 7th isn't exciting.
Also on the list of things that are not exciting:
- Nick Shore
- 4th line centers
- those Halloween taffy candies wrapped in the same orange wax paper since the 1980's that are hard as rock.
Wow, the usual hfsens posters are upset about the return and just know that Dorion could and should have gotten more. If only he would assess the market and take the best deal instead of whatever the does.
Do you not get tired of yourselves? I get tired of you, and the crap that I feel compelled to post in response.
Can those of you who promised to give up on the team leave already???

Settle down fella.
Look, we didn’t have to trade Shore. I know he’s nothing special, but we could have kept him, qualified him and brought him back on a one year deal. I don’t expect much for him, but he’s in the league and chances are the guy we pick with that 7th won’t even make the nhl.
Am I broken up over losing him? Of course not, but it just seems like we gave him away, and we didn’t really have to do that.

Nick Shore could very well end up having more value to Calgary than Lazar..2nd for Lazar looks even better now

Maybe part of the plan is opening up a few spots on the 4th line for the kids? Roll 4 lines for the rest of the year. Not a bad way to give some rookies a bit of NHL icetime under their belt with zero expectations.
Ugh, I know, I know, this was a hard day for the likes of me around here, in fact it's been tough for a long time now. My apologies.
Yes, we needed to get rid of him as he was a throw in on a trade, and we want the roster spot for one of our young guys. We checked the market and took back an asset for him.
If we venture over to the Oduya waiver thread we see how lame PD is because another NHL player was let go for nothing on waivers because we couldn't even get a 7th. This fan base is willing to talk out of both sides of its mouth around here non-stop to slam management, and I for one have been f***ing tired of it forever.
Bunch of whinny bitches. Sorry, but I've been on here all day along with everyone else and it's been one for the ages. I'll apologize, but I won't hear shit from the same guys who complain forever on here. It's because there is no interest in rational discussion, and more a place to vent like a teenager.
EDIT: yes, add smartass response about how i'm venting like a teenager
