This team needs to get another D man even if Methot gets healthy. Someone is always gonna be hurt anyways.
Maybe we should protect Karlsson, Phaneuf, and Methot in the expansion draft, and is LV takes Ceci, we try to sign Micheal Stone in the offseason(yeah, yeah I know, the budget).
No one big is getting traded. Accept that.
When the expansion happens, we will probably lose a minor piece. Ryan, Phaneuf, Brassard, Turris, are here to stay.
We'd be completely stupid to miss out on an opportunity to dump that contract. Don't look a gift in the horse.
If we trade Ryan, we will have to take on another mediocre contract. No one is going take on 7,25 cap hit and not send a "meh" contract our way.
I'm not one of the Melnyk haters but I can't see us ever retaining in a bid to ship Ryan out.
I can't remember, how does player protection come into play with UFAs?
Let's say we trade for Michael Stone at the deadline. Could we hold out on giving him a contract AFTER the expansion draft so Vegas can't claim him from us?
Step 1: Get Brodin/Another top 4 LHD
Step 2: Expose Methot and Ceci
Step 3: Vegas takes Methot, Brodin - Karlsson, Phaneuf-Ceci
Step 3.1: Vegas takes Ceci, Brodin- Karlsson, Methot- Phaneuf
or
Step 1: Mi. Stone wants to come to Ottawa
Step 2: Expose Ceci
Step 3: Vegas takes Ceci, sucks but Methot-Karlsson, Phaneuf- Stone
Probably make more sense than half of the deals here ,maybe we have to add a bit .But it would help both teamsPouliot and Eberle would be cool.
Because of his brother ??maybe??not too sure if its a fact thoughMichael stone want to come to Ottawa? Where'd you hear that? Link?
Oh FFS this team won't win anything as long as Eugene is the owner!
Call up EDM ,and swing a deal for Pouliot and Eberle ,Give them Ryan and Lazar.Helps with the depth in both sides if the wing and gets rid of Ryan,s contract .Seeing as people just wont let it go
If you had Landeskog would you accept Chabot, Lazar and a 1st?
Depends on the situation. If my team is throwing in the towel and looking for fresh assets, I certainly consider it. I agree I'd probably want more, but much more probably isn't realistic.

Why not go after Duchene or MacKinnon instead of their Captain. I don't think either of those 3 are going anywhere.
I would rather do Ceci + Lazar + 1st. Maybe a 2nd or a prospect like Gagne instead of the 1st because Ceci has more value than Chabot for now.
I think one of those three is or will be on the market. The Avs need upgrades all over their lineup. Especially on D.
Landeskog-Turris-Ryan
Hoffman-Brassard-Stone
Methot-Ceci
Chabot-Phaneuf
If you trade for MacKinnon or Duchene you have to give them Brassard back in the deal so they can get a center. I don't think that would happen considering we just got him.
