Rumor: Trade Rumors/Proposals/Free Agents 2017-2018

[Liver King]

Lets not forget AA is only 23, we should definitely be willing to move some of our prospects for him.

Keep White Brown Chabot Jaros

Other guys should be considered for players under 25 imo

On salary, we can deal with that in the summer- no chance I'm trading Smith in season if we can afford the player coming back.

 

[BondraTime]

So why do we think AA is available?

 

[Micklebot]

Tbh, the only reason he should be available is if Detroit thinks he'll be too expensive to re-sign, in which case, we really shouldn't be interested.

I'd love to target a top 6 LW (or if we move Ryan to LW, RW) upgrade. Hoffman is great, but after that, Dzingel and Smith are better suited to the 3rd line imo.

Ideally, we need something skilled and cost controlled, which is why AA comes up. Too bad about MacArthur, he would have been ideal, though maybe we can replace him with a less expensive option.

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

not interested in a tweener like AA. Not even sure where he'd make it in our fully healthy Top 9

If they'd take Oduya, Wideman (that's a maybe), Paul, Smith or Burrows type of return then sure. I doubt they would.

At this point I hope PD intends to keep our blue chip prospects, unless a Tavares trade comes along (and it won't with resigning Karlsson).

I agree with White, Brown, Chabot, Jaros for sure, but I'd add Chlapik, Harpur, Lajoie, plus Formenton and Batherson to that list. The next tier has Englund, Perron, Gagne type of player. These are the guys to be moved, but I doubt they'd be looked at by other GMs as more than a throw in.

Would they do a Wideman and Paul for AA? Its a stretch

 

[Burrowsaurus]

AA is a dream. We'll be making trades for wingels/stalberg/burrows types. Which is fine. For the right price of course. Adding speed to the bottom six is key. Especially in the POs

how is AA a dream? Your dreams are mediocre if that's the case

Dorion implied on TSN 12000 today that the Sens are pretty comfortable with who they have now and aren't looking for a top 6 guy.

Not sure if it's true or not, but that's what he was saying.

I would think we'll sit tight at least for a while to see how it shakes out. Smith won't be gone long, Bobby is back now, Dido looks like he's staying, and both White & Paul are looking ready if needed.

 

[tony d]

Yeah, think Duchene is our big trade this year. Our team is playing good, no need to disrupt anything.

I can't see why they'd be in any rush to improve the top 6 now with Ryan coming back from injury. Smith or Dzingel as our 6th top 6 player isn't all that bad, and we have White who could climb up the ranks once he gets his inevitable shot at the NHL.

Imo, our next move should be to trade Wideman for futures. Harpur seems to have more of Boucher's trust currently, and Chabot is clearly in the future plans. We still have 7 NHL ready Dmen once Wideman is gone, along with decent call up options in Jaros and Englund.

 

[danielpalfredsson]

Dorion said something to the affect of, unless we're getting them really cheap, we're not after a top 6 forward for now.

Makes sense. I'd expect us to eventually add a 3rd liner if none of our young guys step up as regulars, or if Guy Boucher is still too afraid of teenagers (or people in their early 20s) to give a player like White 3rd line minutes.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Dzingel-Brassard-Stone
Hoffman-Duchene-Ryan
DiDominico-Pageau-Pyatt
Thompson-Smith-Burrows

Claesson-Karlsson
Phaneuf-Ceci
Oduya-Harper
Wideman/Boro

See what that can do over the next 2-3 months

It's nothing special but it's pretty deep with talent everywhere. I think in 2-3 months Chabot will make his way to the roster. I also believe by deadline(depending if we are top 2 in division) or by next year we will add one more strong top 6er and will go for it.

I read that MacArthur's career is officially done. It was a Tweet from Shawn Simpson.

Dorion left the door open for next year but it seems unlikely that he ever returns, he said today that MacArthur moved to Florida and won't play this season.

Ah thanks for the clarification, the person who posted about the tweet made it seem like he is done for good. Sorry.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Dorion: Sens' MacArthur has moved to Florida - Article - TSN

Top story on TSN.ca right now. Sure sounds like he's done but they just can't say it 100%. Says at the bottom that he has been placed on LTIR.

Thanks. This year 99% not coming back. Next year still up in the air. It seems strange that there is not more info.

Still up in the air is probably too optimistic... He seemed doubtful..

Ya I don't really understand why they can't make more clear statements about it. Does it have to do with LTIR and having to do the physical every year?

Likely something to do with insurance or contract compliance .. LTIR as well if they use that vehicle.
What I would like to know is , if he is having surgery, if he is rehabbing, if he is working out to come back, if he is lounging ...

 

[HSF]

It will be interesting to see what White can do up here

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Agreed. IMO stepping in from rehabbing to playing , for his first couple of games was an adjustment and he is getting better as he plays down there. I think he will be there for a bit yet. Dorion said he needs to get stronger, which I agree with .. Dorion when he is the best forward in Belleville he will get a callup.
White plays on the boards quite a bit in both o and d zones so physical strength helps for that game.

 

[Tuna99]

Maybe Melnyck knows he is selling the team and this is his last chance to win a Cup and has instructed Dorion to trade the future for the present so #1 Melnyck gets his name on the Cup #2 the value of the franchise goes up with winning a Cup

 

[Burrowsaurus]

how is AA a dream? Your dreams are mediocre if that's the case

Because he doesn't seem to be for sale and the prices that would be asked of us we would not be willing to pay.

 

[Cosmix]

AA is a dream. We'll be making trades for wingels/stalberg/burrows types. Which is fine. For the right price of course. Adding speed to the bottom six is key. Especially in the POs

Our top 6 is:

Ryan - Brassard - Stone
Hoffman -Duchene -Dzingel (arguably)

The bottom six are:
Smith - Pageau - Pyatt
Didomenico - Thompson - Burrows

Which ones are too slow and therefore should be replaced?

I would like to see an upgrade in the bottom six. A big strong physical mean winger who can play defense and the PK would be a great addition.
