1)Methot is in fact better than Boychuk

2) No, there was never 5.5m for Boychuk or Methot next year. Not if you planned on having Hamilton, Krug, Smith and Soderberg back.

If you plan on letting Soderberg leave, there is money for a D.


The big brass balls move by Chia could be trading the Yeti at the deadline, and then bolstering the D in the offseason. But that's not going to solve the low goals for issue, or the PP.

 

[kdog82]

Methot + Chiasson

for

Smith + Batkowski + Spooner

 

[Coach Parker]

Kassian with three goals in three games since coming back into the lineup. Playing on the 4th line as well.

At least they could use Bartkowski once in awhile to make sense of it all...

 

[The Special K]

Save us from this madness oh mighty clodefish!!!!!!

 

[BB88]

How many of these can we get before an actual trade?

We'd be in triple digits now had these threads been started back in October.

Now kassian coming from juniors was putting goals in the net and projected high ect maybe a scene change is all he needs . 3 goals in 3 games is a good start being back

still young , plays a physical style , can drop the gloves if needed and im sure with right cast he can score .

Id rather have him over stewart

 

[BB88]

Methot + Chiasson

for

Smith + Batkowski + Spooner

Have to give something permanent back, add a pick and take someone out. But I'd love us to sign him, if he can be hap for under 5M great, dump (kelly) to ottawa in the offseason for picks, paille, seids, campbell, and let's get it done.

We talked about this a few weeks back that we should have made a deal with kassian and make our bottom 9 stronger/bigger when he was a sctrach cause it seemed like the guy really wanted to prove everyone wrong. And the price would have been pretty low.

 

[5pointslow]

what would it take to get kassian ?

Bart and a 2nd ?

 

[Ratty]

Methot + Chiasson

for

Smith + Batkowski + Spooner

I like that......a lot. I can only hope Bryan Murray does as well.

Doubt it, though.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Methot is not better than Boychuk, he is slightly worse. Not that it's a bad thing, just the irony.

I find it hard to compare the two because of their different styles, but I would take Boychuk over Methot any day. I like Methot, don't get me wrong, but he doesn't have the big-game upside that I've seen in Boychuk. Perhaps there's a little bit of bias left, but I do live in Ottawa and have seen Methot play live more than I have Boychuk.

how many pages now and with really any legit trade rumors. I am also very guilty of this too.

Well we can talk about stewart again
Or atkinson.
+ (Santorelli) maybe

Those seem to be the top 2 player rumours now?

Arizona boys were watching our games but I have no idea who they were watching or who we are wanting from arizona.
Yandle+Vermette we know of but they aren't cheap.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

...

How about Roman Polak from Toronto?

 

[Mione134]

Save us from this madness oh mighty clodefish!!!!!!

Hes trying to create a safe aura around Chia in hopes of getting a deal. Between trying to help us win games, and being burnt out by the lack of emotion these guys seem to be turning off and on, Clodefish can only do so much!!!

I'm surprised as well. Maybe no news is good news but I don't have the faith in Chiarelli.

 

[Ratty]

Bart and a 2nd ?

Well, we'll get a chance to see the legendary Zack Kassian tomorrow night in living color. Should help to form or alter some opinions.

 

[Flannelman]

 

[norwoodmustang]

if Chia is going to make a panic trade right now, I'd prefer Kassian to Stewart. I think Kassian costs you less to obtain and has more upside, and is also younger and cheaper.

Stay away from that move MMB.

Polak isn't a bad defenceman by any stretch but he's just more of what we already have.

Polak isn't a bad defenceman by any stretch but he's just more of what we already have.

I think he's a better skater than Seids, McQuaid, Miller, no?

Trying to come up with outside the box options. He's been a key part of one the best PKs in the league this season, is signed for another year at $2.8M, shoots right and YES... Does the same job that most of the blueline already does. Just perhaps more effectively than some.

To me:
Chara - Hamilton
Seidenberg - Polak
Krug - McQuaid
Miller

Is much better looking than what we have now.

And for all the talks about bringing in an offensive-minded guy, there's also the fear that a player like Yandle (and I'm gonna say Sekera, who has his fair share of shaky moments in the defensive zone) would square-peg into our top six.

Not claiming Polak as the be-all/end-all. Or even that he's the best option here. But he fits in a lot of different ways. For the defense, we could add "the same, but better" and for the forwards add a little bit of skill and a little bit of size.

If we could get him cheap I wouldn't be so much opposed.

I think he's a better skater then McQuaid, about on target with Miller but a bit better hockey IQ.

If we go and grab a couple solid skaters up front and want to go back to 2011 with a bruising defence I could be talked into this.

You're pairings actually brought me around
