Speculation: Off Season Trade Thread Vol. IX - "Spezza's Last Week?" Edition

[BUCKLE UP]

Yay! Havlat can wear his #9 again

 

[Micklebot]

Yep... That's what I did, works well

I just stuck to writing more words...

Also, quotes are your friend.

 

[Sun God Nika]

With the loss of serious offence & czechs in Hemsky, Michalek and Spezza, we should put Havlat on a priority list, he would be the best person to put on the left of Zibanejad and Stone

 

[SensPerpetualRebuild]

No to Havlat. No to all ex-Senators.

 

[Senscore]

Havlat?

Wow. Look at what this team has been reduced to.

soft old and injury prone....wait isnt that why we dont want spezza?

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

No to Havlat. No to all ex-Senators.

Chara and Hossa are TOTALLY off-limits.

 

[Alfie#11]

No to Havlat. No to all ex-Senators.

This. Loved Havlat back in the day but he's done. He should go a to a very good team that could take a chance on him having a last gasp.

I know we're budget but bringing in broken down old stars is really rubbing it in. Stick with the kids.

 

[Alfie#11]

Chara and Hossa are TOTALLY off-limits.

I'm quite sure he means the players we could conceivably get.

 

[Benjamin]

Is Havlat even good at hockey anymore?

 

[DrakeAndJosh]

Is Havlat even good at hockey anymore?

His numbers look alright if you project 82 game seasons. He just doesn't get anywhere close to 82 game seasons...

Nhl network just showed Murray and Tallon, hopefully deep in trade talks.

Probably a smaller deal if anything happens.

 

[Senscore]

Tallon is sucking him in.

 

[Ouroboros]

Maybe a hot three-way with Tallon, Murray and Bowman.

Florida takes Sharp to open cap space for the Hawks to squeeze Spezza in.

 

[Real Smart Sens Fan]

Sens will likely make a trade with Florida but maybe not Spezza.

 

[Tundraman]

Was it an old clip they talked early before Talon picked.

No trade lists really suck

 

[Officer Fred]

Good point. Other than Ryan Miller, free agent pickings are slim for the Canucks. A guy like Vanek just doesn't fit into their philosophy or long term plans.

There are, though, some parallels in ownership. Aquilini just got taken to the cleaners in a divorce and would probably be quite happy to be $10 million below the cap, like another owner we know.

The Canucks do significantly better at the gate and in corporate sponsorships, though. I believe they're a top ten revenue market. Of course, he also just had to eat millions on Gillis and Tortorella, as well.

 

[Officer Fred]

Why do they have to spend it tomorrow? Continue building depth, tank for McDavid and then when the team is ready spend.

They aren't tanking. Lot's of speculation in the media they'll be trying to sign Miller or Hiller.

 

[Senator Stanley]

No trade lists really suck

And yet Murray hands them out to seemingly everyone.

If interwebs rumors are true, both Torts and Gillis had buyouts of about 1.6 mil each. One heck of a great savings over the 8 mil owed per contract.

You want parity? Exempt bottom-3 teams from no-trade clauses.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

You want parity? Exempt bottom-3 teams from no-trade clauses.

That's a terrible idea

I don't buy the concept of tanking for a high pick but I could definitely see a team tanking to get rid of a bad contract
