Speculation: Ottawa Senators willing to trade pick #5

[Just A Bit Outside]

What I have gathered from briefly reading through:

1. All offers from Toronto are crap.
2. Pick alone won’t get Tkachuk.
3. Sens clearly have Top 4 in mind and if all are gone come 5, are willing to move down if the price is right because they have a few players they would be comfortable drafting.

Correct

And how!

Sens need to come out with a center with one of their top picks. The are 3 interesting scenarios, from best to worst:

1. Sens draft Byfield at 3
Detroit drafts Perfetti/Drysdale at 4
Sens draft Raymond at 5

2. Sens draft Stutzle at 3
Detroit drafts Raymond/Drysdale at 4
Sens draft Perfetti at 5

3. Sens draft Stutzle at 3
Detroit drafts Perfetti at 4
*Sens still need to draft a C

I could see Sens wanting to trade down at that point to draft Rossi. Best option: trade 5 + 28 to NJD for 7 + 20

Or, if Sens have to draft Stutzle, I could see them try to package a lower pick to Detroit in order to swap 4th and 5th, just so Sens can guarantee Perfetti at 4

Stutzle can play center. Not sure why everyone has decided he's only a winger. I think the Sens are happy at center regardless of which guy they take.

BPA at 5 regardless of position.

Domi +B prospect for 5th round pick?

Sure. Not sure why Montreal trades Domi for a 5th round pick though.

Sure. Not sure why Montreal trades Domi for a 5th round pick though.

Might as well, I see no future for him on the Habs (Suzuki, Poehling, Kotka, Danault, etc.). The Habs trade a young C/winger for a potential future 30-40 goal scorer. Domi can find a nice niche in Ottawa. He would become a Habs killer but with Caufield and Suzuki, he will surely be forgotten. BargainBin however won't see that way.

potential future 30-40 goal scorer

Damn, thats lofty expectations for a 5th round pick. 5th overall? Maybe. 5th round? no shot.

5th Overall is what I meant.

Oh then, no.

 

[BargainBinSpecial]

Oh then, no.

Your loss.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Your loss.

As if Ottawa wants to give up the 5th overall pick for Max Domi. Come on fella.

Eugene will be thrilled.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Eugene will be thrilled.

Why? A player on a three year ELC will be cheaper than Domi who needs a raise as an RFA.

Does Eugene even have the cash to pay for these RFAs?

Did you read what I wrote? It’s better for Ottawa to draft a player at 5 and not have to pay them much on their entry level contract than trade for Domi and give him a raise as an RFA. Also, Domi isn’t worth the 5th overall pick anyway. Ottawa wouldn’t make that deal.

What is Domi worth anyway according to you?

Not the 5th overall pick.

If Domi is worth so much why is Montreal trying to trade him ? Is he just so good they think it's unfair to have him ?

 

[BargainBinSpecial]

Not the 5th overall pick.

The way things are going in Ottawa, a player like Domi would be a blessing. No other team will offer more for that 5th overall pick unless Ottawa takes on salary which won't happen.

Because he doesn't want to play on the wing and I agree by shopping him around, it lowers his value. Montreal has young and upcoming centers.

First of all, you don’t know that someone won’t beat that offer, that’s your opinion. Secondly, I’d rather just keep the pick than trade it for Domi. Ottawa doesn’t need to trade that pick, so thanks but no thanks.

You sound like you are the Ottawa GM. We are just exchanging opinions. No need to get so upset.

 

[PhoenyX]

Ducks offer 27th pick + 37th pick

Two for one deal

When did I get upset? I just don’t feel that’s a good offer for the 5th pick. I think Domi is good when he’s at his best, but I wouldn’t move a top five pick for him, that’s all.

It takes a big offer for teams to consider moving a top five pick. Your offer just isn’t good enough to me. No hard feelings or anything.
