Did I see Tyler Johnson (TB) on waivers? Does AZ have any interest there?
The combination of term, salary, and shortness adds up to "hell no."

They’d need to retain and/or attach and asset and/or be willing to take Kessel (with retention).Did I see Tyler Johnson (TB) on waivers? Does AZ have any interest there?

We wouldn't be asking Yandle to be the same player he was. He would be on the third line behind OEL and Chychrun. Also on PP1. OEL and Chychrun are also our only top 6 D signed for next year.I loved Yandle when he was here, but he's been gone for like six years. He is not the player he once was, same as Kessel, but I think we are better off without him moving forward and see what happens in the off season. Also, that contract is not good, but I guess that could be worked out. Does any one know his plans after he is done playing?
You are making good points, but I think for us it's better to move forward from players and Kessel because of age.We wouldn't be asking Yandle to be the same player he was.

His contract isn't great but isn't as bad as it looks. Money owed is less than his caphit. I don't see us being a cap team so it's not the end of the world. Get an add for taking him and I'm happy.
I am in favour of acquiring Brown. Asking price?From 31 Thoughts:
“Ottawa’s top six looks nice with Brady Tkachuk–Josh Norris–Drake Batherson, and Tim Stuetzle–Derek Stepan–Evgenii Dadonov. Those two lines played together during the team scrimmage Monday night. Logan Brownwas dressed for the opposing team, and there are rumours of his availability. But the Senators have said they still believe in his talent.”
Logan Brown should be interesting for Arizona. He’s Chychrun’s best friend and grew up in Missouri with the likes of Keller and Fischer. His Dad Jeff was/is active in the St Louis hockey community and is likely well-known to Bill Armstrong.
It would have been nice to expand the Stepan deal in a way that could have included Brown rather than the pick. I could see the the Coyotes being in on this if it becomes a real thing, though.
Who knows? They definitely don't need any more forwards, that's for sure. How about Oesterle and our 2nd? Then we can do Kessel for Yandle.I am in favour of acquiring Brown. Asking price?

I hear ya. I figure they'll expect less for him than we did for Dylan Strome but probably more than Capobianco and a 3rd. I'm trying to think of good comps. Maybe Anthony DeAngelo? Went 19th overall in 2014 and was traded at the 2016 draft for the 37th overall?Wonder if Cappo and a 3rd could do it. Don't want to hand out 2nd's right now if we don't need to.
Huh? Fisher’s from Elgin Il.He’s Chychrun’s best friend and grew up in Missouri with the likes of Keller and Fischer.
Oesterle, Kessel and Fischer are all players RT likes. RT will praise them till the cows come home.Who knows? They definitely don't need any more forwards, that's for sure. How about Oesterle and our 2nd? Then we can do Kessel for Yandle.
All the more reason to trade them.Oesterle, Kessel and Fischer are all players RT likes. RT will praise them till the cows come home.
I doubt even Fischer likes himself after the MacKinnon incident. Dude probably hasn't looked in the mirror since. After witnessing Corey Perry completely de-man Louis Domingue and ruin his entire career in one moment, Fischer suffered the same fate several years later against MacKinnon. There are certain moments that really define an era for a team. These two moments are a pretty apt summary of the Rick Tocchet era. Or maybe a serve as good book-end moments for the Chayka era.Does like RT like Fischer? He was scratched for like half of last season.
Looks like we might be heading to that with the Stempniak hiring. Next we'll have Boyd Gordon as PK coach.I don’t want to see us going from the FOG era to the FOD era.
Embarrassingly, I wanted him over Keller. Lol. I did have Chychrun way up there. And I lost my mind celebrating when we traded up for him!Logan Brown is one of those guys that I’ll always (probably irrationally) like because I loved him in his draft year. Would love it if we could snag him
