Just wondering what you would pay for a team to take Phaneuf's contract off your hands?
Nothing. We can't afford to move any of the defensemen in our top 4 right now.
Maybe, if Chabot develops the way we project, we will move Phaneuf in 2 years.
What is a Edler for Phaneuf worth to you?
If we want speed and offense, Duclair is available.
What is a Edler for Phaneuf worth to you?
Where do I sign? Edler makes less and has less term. Plus isn't he younger than Phaneuf?

He can also skate.
well I said it months ago and ill say it now, we need a top 6 forward. Get on that Dorion
Allegedly, doubt he actually is being shopped. What they looking for? Doesn't matter, I'd aggressively go after him.
Do the Sens have anything to trade?
You're not going to move EK, Turris, Brassard, Stone or Dzingle, Anderson... ideally you're adding to these guys, it be counter productive to move one to bring in a replacement
You can't move Ryan or Phanuef due to the contracts they have
So what's enticing for other clubs?
Hoffman - Move the teams fastest skater?
Methot, Ceci - Open up a spot in the top four?
Guys like Pageau, Lazar, Smith don't have the value to bring back difference makers... maybe in a package with a future
Futures?
Don't have a 2017 or 2018 2nd
So the clubs best trade bait is White, Brown, Chabot, 2017 1st, 2018 1st
______
Option 1
Trade Hoffman for another top six forward and hope that fixes chemistry within the team.
Option 2
Packaging a Lazar/Pageau with a futures (1st/Brown/White/Chabot) for a top six forward
What else can the Sens do?
This team will still suck.1) Bobby Ryan for Eberle: Change of scenario for both players
2) Hoffman for Brock Nelson: Tavares gets his winger and we get Nelson so our top 6 isnt small and improve 2 way game on the wings
Nelson-Turris-Dzingel
Eberle-Brassard-Stone
Smith-Pageau-Pyatt
Mesured by who ? By my eyetest, Dzingel not only faster, but much better "i know how to use my speed and when" player.
Hoffman 2014 won fastest skater in AHL skills competition 13.990
Hoffman 2015 won the Sens fastest skater in the clubs skill competition 13.827

Interesting to hear Simmer mention that he's heard from three different sources in and around the NYR that many are concerned about Zibanejad and his effort/commitment. Apparently the 14 points he's put up in 18 games have mostly been meaningless - late in blowouts kinda stuff.
Seems the Canucks are a bit wonky with Jake Virtanen right now. Maybe a swap with Puempel?
