Senators re-sign goaltender Anders Nilsson to a two-year contract

Well that's kinda surprising.

Happy trails Andy or Hogberg?

[Crosside]

Yeahhhh

 

[Nosswor]

I'm actually okay with this. I thought they were going to give something stupid like 3/3.5

This surely has to be bye bye Anderson. Nilsson/Hogberg tandem next year and Daccord/Gustafsson in Belleville?

 

[West Coast Eagles]

Anderson-Nilsson-Condon-Hogberg-Gustavsson-Daccord.

Quite the logjam

 

[Hale The Villain]

What the heck

Hammond/Condon part 3 coming up

 

[Riceroni]

Ok, so now what happens to Andy and Condon? And, Hogberg?

That would be fairly ideal given the (realistic) options on the table.

Should be really interesting to see what some other goalies end up going for in FA though. There are guys I probably would have preferred to take a shot on (Mrazek mainly) who I think will end up with similar contracts.

If they think Nilsson can be the right mentor for Hogberg/Gustavsson though he'll be worth his weight in gold.

 

[BatherSeason]

That is quite the logjam. Unfortunately, I don't think Andy is going anywhere and no one is taking on Condon's contract. Seems to me like Hogberg is on his way out.

Anderson-Nilsson (Ottawa)
Gus-Condon (Belleville)
Daccord (Brampton)

Mandolese will also need a place to play in 2020-2021, but I assume that Andy will be not be reupped after this year (I hope).

Crowded crease aside, not sure I have a huge issue with this move.

Man, this team though, do they ever LOVE giving money to mediocre backup goalies.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Really hoping that Dorion is going to be trading Andy and not letting Hogberg go back to Sweden

 

[stempniaksen]

Ok, so now what happens to Andy and Condon? And, Hogberg?

Condon was never going to factor into this. He'll either be part of a package for a larger cap dump or he'll be bought out.

As far as Andy/Hogberg, I would imagine this signing means the team would like to move on from Anderson (or the other way around) with the distinct possibility that Hogberg goes back to Sweden if the Sens can't find a taker for Andy at the draft.

Condon is injured and therefore exempt from buyouts.

 

[TheNewEra]

i wonder if this means we have a trade lined up for one for andy/hog?

This management team doesn't plan that far ahead, they are still trying to figure out which employee will empty the garbages next week.

 

[stempniaksen]

Condon is injured and therefore exempt from buyouts.

So we just LTIR him then?

I just don't see the org committing to Nilsson without some kind of plan to deal with Condon (Andy too honestly, but especially Condon).

 

[Micklebot]

Condon is injured and therefore exempt from buyouts.

Is he still injured? I thought that they figurd out the issue and he would have been cleared by now...

As for the signing i am a bit surprised.
It is a good move imo in that it gives us a bit of experience for next year when Andy presumably retires.

Well we will never get close to the cap so no benefit from LTIR, so we just IR him permanently until he is healthy, then send him to the minors

 

[Engineer]

If he isn't that is news to me, I'm just going off what I last heard, which admittedly is not recent

Condon came back to practice or at least train a few months ago. I think he would be cleared by now if games were happening.

 

[TheNewEra]

that is probably true

im just very impressed that we had 2.6 million to spare somehow haha

 

[Liver King]

Are we trading Andy?

 

[BatherSeason]

I can't believe that they are taking away the spotlight from the Stanley Cup Finals with this signing. No Respeckt

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

Condon came back to practice or at least train a few months ago. I think he would be cleared by now if games were happening.

I have not seen any updates on Condon... I think this news release is THAT update

 

[BatherSeason]

No bonus money involved obviously, so the 2.6 will get spread out.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Works for me. Two years, under 3 mil a year. Can't go wrong with that.

Only question now is how many goalies we have under contract and how they'll sort out.

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

I have not seen any updates on Condon... I think this news release is THAT update

Two months ago he came back to practice with Belleville and explained the procedures he went through
