Confirmed with Link: Shane Prince (+ OTT 7th rounder) traded to New York Islanders for a 3rd round pick.

Or maybe its because Prince is a LW and a Chia is a RW ,

Prince has played plenty of RW in his career. Much more than Dzingel actually , whom you wanted on RW this morning.

 

[slamigo]

I cannot wait for the post-Boro, post-Cameron era.

Well in response to your last question.

Why were so many cheering at a guy with 10 points got resigned at 1.5 million?

A guy thats been with the team for over 10 years a guy who had had many 10 goal plus seasons a guy is does tons of work in the community shall i go on.

 

[GWNR]

There's no operating. No one thinks this guy is a future mega star. Good top 9 forward is my guess. Also superior to Alex chiasson and Chris Neil.

But doesn't play the right side.

I think we're overlooking that. We had Paul, Prince, Dzingel, Puempel.

All LW's who could fit the bottom 6 (especially the more modern-day NHL bottom 6 of grit and scoring upside).

Now I will agree that resigning Neil was dumb, but I dont think that influenced this deal.

Prince wouldn't be taking that 4th line RW spot anyway.

 

[God Says No]

Or maybe its because Prince is a LW and a Chia is a RW ,

It was stated before that for the majority of his AHL career, he actually played RW.

Anyhoo, you can maybe argue that Paul has played better in his short time here but that's debatable. Prince has played better than Dzingel though. No doubt.

 

[topshelf15]

Exactly.

Team can stand to find a third line RW, but they are stocked at LW.

Yep, iam sure we will be looking for one this offseason.But for now Chia will do

We should sign Redden.

Prince has?

When?

No I've read enough. Still want him gone.

Prince is capable of many 10+ goals seasons. And he's also capable of doing nice things for people. Should have signed him long term.

******** reasoning.

It was an odd contract.

It's very meh in the grand scheme of things because I dont think it influenced this move, but come on you don't keep Neil around because of his work with the Senators Foundation. He can do that if he's retired too (which he will).

 

[God Says No]

Prince has?

When?

In the AHL.

 

[GWNR]

I will say if our big complaint from the trade deadline was we didn't get enough fo a return for our 13th forward, I guess we did alright.

 

[WaitingInVain]

Prince has played plenty of RW in his career. Much more than Dzingel actually , whom you wanted on RW this morning.

A very limited sample, but is it really out of line to say that Dzingle has performed better than Prince given the chance. Devil's in the detials and the guy who's still here is the one who was doing all of those things without the puck that Prince wasn't.

 

[Blarginator]

Prince wasn't going to be a top 6 player for us and that's why he was mostly played in the bottom 6. He was decent at producing offense here and there and I think he could've been an ok player down the line but he also wasn't built for our bottom 6. He had a hard time gaining the offensive zone and had a hard time protecting the puck. Paul and Dzingel made him the odd man out.

 

[GWNR]

In the AHL.

Didn't know that. Odd he wasn't tried there.

Definitely strengthens the other side of this deabte.

 

[topshelf15]

It was stated before that for the majority of his AHL career, he actually played RW.

Prince is a left shot winger .Who has an already weak defensive game ,hense he is playing the left side as most left handed players do

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Awful trade. Just bloody awful.

It is indeed a bad trade. Shane Prince increases possession, makes his teammates better, has good upside but is traded over someone like Alex Chiasson or Chris Neil. Just a bad deal. Sigh.

 

[starling]

Prince > Puempel, Dzingel, Paul.
His waiver status and the fact that Cameron is a bad coach are the reasons why he was traded.

 

[Iamok]

So people are complaining that we didn't keep Prince to play 8 minutes a night as a bottom 6'er for the rest of his career? That's how he becomes a top 6 player, right?

You can't seriously tell me that Prince has more value as a 4th liner to the team than Neil either...

 

[Very Stable Genius]

It's become increasingly clear that intangibles > skill in the minds of coaches/management

 

[GWNR]

You play way too much NHL16.

You're obsessed with making sure guys are on their strong hand wing.

This is like the 3rd time you've engaged in this argument.

You will be waiting awhile I'm afraid.

It was stated before that for the majority of his AHL career, he actually played RW.

So they got rid of the better player? Does that really make sense to you?

I get where some young fans are coming from maybe they don't see the big picture or care about it but you can't just dump Neil the backlash would have been massive likely bigger then when they traded Fisher.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Prince was the biggest reason for Neil very very tiny resurgence this year on the fourth line

Whatever he's gone. Not like we won't be drafting another one just like him sooner or later. But still. Would have liked to actually play him maybe raise some value and package him.

Prince > Puempel, Dzingel, Paul.

Sounds more like making up excuses for a player that didnt work out ,but whatever
