Proposal: 2016 Offseason Trade Rumours & Proposals Part II

[HoffStoneKarl*]

Garrioch says he expects the team to try to land the defenseman they want through trade. Doesn't think they'll participate in free agency outside of signing a few 2-way guys for Binghamton.

Jesus, if true, good luck with that Dorion. I'll be looking forward to seeing what happens with that

Will the Sens have another press conference for one of their signings for Bingo?

I seriously don't get why they had one for Eric O'Dell. I mean he is not even with the team anymore.

 

[Benjamin]

Is there a dman with high cap hit but reasonable salary we could target from a team needing to clear space? A cheap way to get a 4/5 tweener.

 

[Liver King]

my guess would be Adam McQuaid if we go the trade route

I think we were interested in him last summer

maybe they like Wiercioch.. lol

 

[Icelevel]

I think that there will come a time when Wideman thinks he could cash in on an opportunity to get PP time somewhere else and Ottawa will want a bigger, PK guy in that position.

Ala Andre Benoit. Sort of

Wierd. Wonder who we could target. Hope we don't give up too much to acquire a defenseman with decent UFA options available at a cost of zero assets.

O'Dell grew up in Ottawa.

McQuaid just signed a 4 year extension.

McQuaid just signed a 4 year extension.

All of these guys that have decent history in the nhl are not within reach .We will look but i really dont see us getting much

 

[BonkTastic]

Eww.

McQuaid is getting paid $3mil per year to be a #6/7 defenceman on a not so great blueline.


Hard, hard pass on McQuaid, even if we got him for free. We'd be doing the Bruins a huge favor by taking on that contract, cosnidering how useless McQuaid is. No thanks.

 

[Boud]

Zbynek Michalek - 1 year at 3.2
Josh Gorges - 2 years at 3.9 (Too much money)
Derek Engelland - 1 year at 2.75
Ron Hainsey - 1 year at 2.5
Brendan Smith - 1 year at 3.25
Kevin Klein - 2 year at 2.75 (Will likely cost too much)
Nick Schultz - 1 year at 2.25
Nate Schmidt - 1 year 850k

... May make sense to get a guy that we can keep after next season because we might lose Methot in the expansion draft.

Klein is the guy out of those that I like the most.

 

[trentmccleary]

I don't think we're getting "guy I heard good things about, so now he's getting paid". I think we're getting "guy nobody has heard of, but somebody in the front office thinks could break out on our team".

 

[SameeTheSniper]

Should we go after Schultz? I mean
Chabot-Schultz=Fire IMO

 

[SameeTheSniper]

Sign Demers Ottawa please. Chabot-Demers=fire

 

[Hale The Villain]

I don't think we're getting "guy I heard good things about, so now he's getting paid". I think we're getting "guy nobody has heard of, but somebody in the front office thinks could break out on our team".

I'm expecting this.

We'll all hope for an above average bottom pairing D like Klein, Quincey, Michalek etc.. and we'll probably get a mediocre D like Bartkowski, Gilbert, Gryba etc... Team probably doesn't have the money to get a 3M man, and will probably settle for a 1-2M man.

I'm just happy we're targeting a defenseman. Given Dorion's praise of Wideman, we're probably looking for a LD to replace Boro on the bottom pairing, which should mean that Chabot will rightfully be sent back to the Q for another season. Hopefully Dorion doesn't rush our top prospects like Murray loved to do.

 

[Blarginator]

Sign Demers Ottawa please. Chabot-Demers=fire

Demers his apparently looking for close to 5M$/year. That's not going to happen in Ottawa. Also Chabot-Demers = tire fire.

lol McQuaid isnt useless, get a clue

however a bottom pairing d-man is our target, and there are a ton of players that can fill that role. I assumed we would go the UFA route but Garrioch suggests otherwise

to the poser above - Demers would ****ing awesome!! I dont think we are aiming that high though

 

[Langdon Alger]

If Arizona is willing to retain on Michalek or Anaheim on Stoner, I would have interest.

 

[Ouroboros]

I don't think we're getting "guy I heard good things about, so now he's getting paid". I think we're getting "guy nobody has heard of, but somebody in the front office thinks could break out on our team".

I think you're on the right track here.

Somebody like Ben Chiarot on Jon Merrill perhaps.

If they do go down the free agent path, I could actually see them bringing Gryba back. Otherwise maybe just rolling the dice on a younger, cheaper guy like Zach Redmond, Zach Trotman or Jordie Benn.

Won't be a "name" player.

 

[BonkTastic]

lol McQuaid isnt useless, get a clue

Did you pay attention to the Bruins this year?

"Useless" is a pretty good term for how he played, but if you want me to try a different term, I'll give it a shot... "ineffective", "turnover machine", "glacier-slow", "human panic machne with the puck on his stick", "couldn't pick out an offensive zone in a police lineup comprised entirely of offensive zones"...

He's a slow, big, dumb defenceman with almost zero hockey IQ, who got beat on a regular basis last year by even marginally talented players.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Merill would be an awesome buy-low pickup.

Maybe a swap of him and Puempel? Or maybe Chiasson + pick?

I'm pretty sure Edmonton will keep Gryba. He was serviceable last year for sure

 

[BondraTime]

If it weren't for Phaneuf's acquisition, I'd be going very hard after Brodin from Minnesota. I'd much, much rather Scandella, but he is untouchable I would think. Don't want Dumba though.

Brodin would likely be the guy on the outs in the expansion draft for Minny.

 

[Shanny]

Given that Detroit is pushing hard to clear up cap space for Stamkos and Radulov....I have to believe that we could really be targeting Brendan Smith. If we landed Smith...I'm pretty sure that'd give us the best blueline in the league...going into next season.

Methot-Karlsson
Phaneuf-Ceci
Smith-Wideman
Boro

...yikes
