Confirmed with Link: Viktor Stalberg to OTT for 2017 3rd round pick

[bert]

Chill. We'll get at least a second back for Lazar.

I think you have forgotten who is at the helm of this franchise.

 

[Super Cake]

I wonder why our friendly neighborhood Bruce hasn't tweeted about this trade yet?

 

[Sun God Nika]

This team has no picks which means Lazar is probs fetching a 2nd and a 3rd/4th

 

[Step]

Totally fine with this pick. He's still fast as hell. We actually have a legit 4th line now. Once we drop Lazar for a pick we'll recoup. And remember, this draft is one of the weakest in years.

 

[Dino Tkachuk]

No, there's a significant difference between an unknown 3rd round pick in a weak draft year and a second round pick who has done nothing but impress and would possibly be considered a late first round pick in a re-draft.

Except that perhaps with Dorion being a former scout he feels that he can find a Dahlen in every draft and does equate the two more closely than you think.

 

[Langdon Alger]

I wonder why our friendly neighborhood Bruce hasn't tweeted about this trade yet?

He's taking a poop

 

[operasen]

You forgot White.

Does Smith move back to centre with all the natural LWs (Hoffman, Dzingel. Burrows, Stalberg, DiDomenico, Pyatt).

I'm thinking Kelly and Neil are done now.

 

[Beville]

It's funny how perception changes as soon as it's a pick and not a player chosen with said pick.

To me this is basically the same impact to the organisation as the Burrows trade.

Always liked Stalberg, this is a nice add.

That was my thought, it's a player that's never even worn a Sens jersey - I don't mind it.

 

[starling]

Exactly, I count 15 forwards on NHL deals not even counting DiDi. Lazar is gone.

Traded tomorrow for a 7th and making Dorion look like an idiot with his "late 1st rounder" evaluations.

 

[Super Cake]

He's taking a poop

lol.

 

[Proust*]

Fair deal. See, if we could have got Burrows for a 2nd, everyone would breath easy today...

 

[Smash88]

It's a big if, that he'd go in the first in a re-draft. Like I said yesterday, most GM's don't view him as highly as we do.

Also being a late first round pick really doesn't mean much. I'll take an established NHLer, over a guy whose peak is basically the guy we are getting.

 

[Lenny the Lynx]

Sure why the **** not

 

[Bileur]

Good move.

 

[Engineer]

Could Lazar and a 4th land us a second? I would think Dorion would like to get back a second rounder in this draft or next draft.

One of the talking heads yesteday said he has been offered seconds, he wants a first

 

[Tragedy]

Totally fine with this pick. He's still fast as hell. We actually have a legit 4th line now. Once we drop Lazar for a pick we'll recoup. And remember, this draft is one of the weakest in years.

Yeah, I'm excited for Thursday's game. We might actually be able to roll 4 lines and not have fowards who can barely skate to the bench by the mid point of the third period. Even more exciting is they might be able to do something other than get stuck in their own end for 45 seconds and dump it off the glass. Everyone wants a big splash forward but I think getting some NHL quality depth will really give this team a boost

 

[Mark Effin Stone]

Is Lazar's value really that high? He havent really showed anything interesting at the NHL level. Or am I selling him short?

 

[Micklebot]

You forgot White.

I don't expect him to get more than the Stone/Silf treatment. A game, maybe two.

But yeah, if he we to impress, maybe he gets a RW or center spot bumping out Wingels

 

[BigRig4]

One of the talking heads yesteday said he has been offered seconds, he wants a first

It was Bruce Garrioch who said this. Not sure if I'm buying it though.

 

[Tundraman]

Chill. We'll get at least a second back for Lazar.

So the other GM's are trying to fleece you Pierre. Good thing you're on to them. I'd hate to see what would happen if they blindsided you.

 

[bert]

May aswell trade the rest of the picks and take the day off of the draft at this point.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Make it a conditional 6th that moves up.

Asset management this team is not good at... move after move after move just chip away at the asset pool.

Yup.

I honestly love Stalberg, but we could have had him in Ottawa all year at a cost of zero assets. This is textbook asset mismanagement.

 

[Indrew]

Considering how bad our 3rd/4th lines and our penalty killing have been lately, Stalberg is a welcome addition.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Fair deal. See, if we could have got Burrows for a 2nd, everyone would breath easy today...

Honestly, if we traded Lazar for Burrows and a third for Stalberg, id be a happy pappy. I still don't love the two year extension, but I can live with it.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Is Lazar's value really that high? He havent really showed anything interesting at the NHL level. Or am I selling him short?

No, Dorion's living in a fantasy world.
