Hi guys - Sens fan checking in.
How has Upshall been this year? Do you think you guys will trade him if you slip out of the playoff race a little and, if so, how much do you think he would return?
Thanks
He's a great 4th liner. We probably bring him back since we aren't rebuilding, just retooling.
Upshall-Brodziak-Reaves is probably the best 4th line in the NHL. Upshall is quick, can score, and likes to hit. There's no better 4th line winger, imo. He could even play on some team's 3rd lines.
Will we trade him? Sure, if the return is decent. I can't see us trading him for anything less than a decent prospect or a 3rd, though. Keeping him on that line is money.
Okay, I know I'm to get bombarded with "size doesn't matter" replies, but after seeing how much we miss Backes, (and to a lesser extent Brouwer), we trade our last 6'4" top 6 forward, who has been playing well lately, using his size and hitting, for a 5'10" 170 lb prospect and a 2nd? I'm sorry man, but that just bothers me.Not that it specifically means anything but Berglund made TSN's top 10 trade bait list. If we decided to move him and considering Fiddler returned a 4th, Bergie's return could be pretty nice this year.

What are peoples thoughts about trading Petro for a Draisaitl type of return? The signing Shatty to a 6x6 type of contract.

No thank you... Petro would need to return a better return in my opinion. Draisaitl isnt established enough for me for bet Petro on. It was only like a season ago that Shatty alone almost landed him... Tavares is the #1C I would trade Petro for, or Duchene+Landy
Absolutely not. I'm a big Shattenkirk fan, but if it comes down to Petro vs Shatty, I keep Petro a thousand times out of a hundred.
I said a Draisaitl type of player. If its somebody else and possible better, that's the idea. We need a true #1 center and will probably not take a step forward without one.
I understand that, but, you arent getting a Draisaitl return for Shatty. That's the difference.
How bad does it actually make our defense? Ive always been in favor of getting rid of Petro even though i love him in the playoffs, if it means getting a franchise center (not too sure if draisaitl is one). Whats wrong with getting a nice young center and bringing up Schmaltz for the rest of the season. We could even trade Shatty for futures.
JBo - Parayko
Ed - Schmaltz
Gunnar - Bortz

No one expects that.
