Speculation: Your 6/7 defensive defenceman to Ottawa

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Maybe something around Brandon Davidson and Ceci ? No even sure if I would do it . We do need a RHD with PM abilities and Davidson is not the sexy name a teams fan base knows but he just a solid D that can skate , hit and shoot the puck . Both teams probably decline this one .

We're not downgrading Ceci for Davidson.

Ottawa: Ericsson, Nastasiuk, 2017 2nd
Detroit: Borowiecki, Puempel

Ottawa gains 2.25M in cap after putting Nastasiuk in the minors but they are going to lose Methot to Vegas at year end anyhow.

Alternatively Detroit could eat 50% on Ericsson and keep the 2nd which would make this deal +125K for Ottawa, but I don't see that helping out their situation.

OP for got to mention... Uncle Eugene, is che... very che... INSANELY CHEAP, so no contract longer than 2 yrs and no more than 2M a year in real salary to pay

So insanely cheap that he signed :

- Bobby Ryan to a 50.7M$ contract
- Mike Hoffman to a 20.7M$ contract
- Clarke MacArthur to a 23.2M$ contract
- Mark Stone to a 10.5M$ contract
- Marc Methot to a 19.6M$ contract
- Craig Anderson to a 12.6M$ contract
- and took the contract of Dion Phaneuf who had 33.0 M$ left to pay on his contract

All that (170.0M$) in the last 2 years and will probably put a 80.0 M$ for Erik Karlsson the franchise player...

We don't have the same definition of "INSANELY CHEAP"

The club was rebuilding, Ottawa is a small market, runs a budget to stay financially healthy, doesn't make sense to spend to the cap when the team is in a growth phase. Will probably spend to the cap when new Stone and Karlsson deals kick in. Getting closer to the cap now anyway. Accept the reality or choose another one.

Although the poster called Melnyk cheap, while making a point, it was not his point.

just re-sign Gryba

 

[Ezekial]

Can you give us a rough description of Quincey as a player?

He's a solid defender who is okay at managing the puck. He's definitely not a great skater, but sometimes he'll join the rush and surprise you. All around just a solid dude, nothing special. He's a serviceable middle pair defenseman and great bottom pair, he was a cap casualty - not a **** player we didn't decide to retain. Unless Dekeyser was extremely great at masking all of Quincey's faults, whoever signs him is going to get a good deal I'd think.

nice..is he physical at all?

 

[SixthSens]

just re-sign Gryba

Methot-Karlsson
Phaneuf-Ceci
Boro-Wideman

Would rather a LHD that moves Boro to the press box, Wideman is fine on the right side on the third pairing. Quincey would be perfect IMO.

 

[Ezekial]

Not really.

 

[IranCondraAffair]

just re-sign Gryba

We traded Gryba to make room for Wideman. Now we need a better partner for Wideman.

 

[DeepBlueSea408]

Any interest in Brenden Dillon?

 

[PullHard]

Wisniewski too right?

As someone mentioned he signed a PTO with TB

But also, he shoots right and I think is more comfortable playing RD (someone help me out on this), and also would be much more likely to be found on a PP unit than a PK unit based on his skill set.

OP is looking for a LD who PKs, so I don't think Wis fits the bill here.

 

[M2Beezy]

Gubranson for a 3rd or 4th would do

Gubranson for a 3rd or 4th would do

What?

 

[Vatican Roulette]

Can you give us a rough description of Quincey as a player?

can someone describe Quincey's play style?

Defensive dman that can move the puck if given a decent partner. Not a bruiser on defense but will be physical(in the corners will muck it up and take care of the net).

Good stick that can break up plays. NHL mobility is average for defense, doesn't hurt him.

Basically a solid vet #6.

Now, I don't know the type of money he wants. That might change his worth if he wants more than 2.5-3 on a short term deal, like 3 years max.

 

[Bologna 1]

Seth helgeson

 

[Vatican Roulette]

Xavier Ouellet of any interest?

He's NHL ready.

 

[Langdon Alger]

just re-sign Gryba

You re-sign Gryba.

 

[BurgoShark]

IMO Gryba would be a fair signing if it was a 2 way deal. The team needs veterans in their farm system ... but that's irrelevant to the OP because he's a RD.

Regarding Ottawa's left side depth, the options for the 3rd pairing LD right now are:

Borowiecki
Claesson
Chabot
Sieloff

I think that Chabot will see NHL action (9 games or less) and Claesson/Sioloff will be given the chance to prove that they can earn the other spot. If none of the four guys are up to scratch after the 15-20 game mark I think the team should look to acquire a player by trade or FA.

 

[BurgoShark]

Who is Meatshield?

I think they are referring to Brandon Manning, but you'd have to check with the Flyers fans to know for sure.

 

[edguy]

Gubranson for a 3rd or 4th would do

Sold. Haha I assume this is a joke though right?

 

[Frk It]

Please take Jonathan Ericsson. Please.

 

[Bettman Returnz]

Gubranson for a 3rd or 4th would do

Just stop. You're the only one who thinks Gudbranson is garbage...

 

[Neiler]

Please take Jonathan Ericsson. Please.

Needs a sweetener.

 

[Ezekial]

Needs a sweetener.

We'll throw in a lifetime supply of splenda.
