feels bad man
we only moved our goalie of the future for him. why dorion why

 

[Super Cake]

As a Sens fan, i am absolutely glad he turned down an extension.

As a Knights fan, please don't trade for him.

I wonder if Ottawa takes a long look at Demko as their goalie of the future

Ottawas 2023 1st (Protected)
Grieg
Kleven

For

Demko?

Isn't that a relatively high price for a goaltender that needs to bounce back?

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

You have to have below-average goaltending to want to pick up an average goalie at the TDL. But yeah, the mentioned teams are probably in that spot.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Isn't this good news for Sens?

He has been pretty crappy has he not

Cant imagine that he will garner much interest

For Vegas, Thompson just got injured. So they have to deal with their 3rd and 4th string goalies as a tandem as of now.

Honestly though, i would just rather stick with the tandem until Thompson comes back.

Mid 1st (lottery protected)
Middle 6 C
bottom pairing potential D

For a goalie who is considered to be a top 10 goalie (probably higher) in the league signed for 3 more season at a good cap hit. I wouldnt say its a high price at all

0 interest in Talbot as a Kings fan

 

[Chainshot]

With the amount of chaos already in Buffalo's net, I'm not sure they make that move and try to acclimate Talbot to the team's style while trying to get into the playoffs. It would be a definite sea change for the GM to make that move based on what he's been saying.

 

[devbouz12]

Gonna say there's been somewhere around 10 games where Sens win if not for his shaky effort.

Edit: 10 may be a tad generous, nonetheless he's been underwhelming.

 

[Dr Danglefest]

Didn’t he just say in an interview that he didn’t want to be moved or at i misremembering

 

[Leafidelity]

They called it "The Summer of Pierre"

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Sens being saved from Dorion

 

[Nakawick]

I would consider Talbot @50% for DeSmith. DeSmith one more season at 1.8.

I would consider Talbot @50% for DeSmith. DeSmith one more season at 1.8.

I see zero upside in that for Ottawa

 

[Nakawick]

I see zero upside in that for Ottawa

A reasonable goalie at a reasonable price.

 

[Altimus]

I think Ottawa's gonna want a pick back and use thier own guys the rest of the season.

Yeah, but this is the past. Talbot sucks. Good timing to get an upgrade. Canucks are tanking hard, so Demko could be available.

 

[Akrapovince]

A reasonable goalie at a reasonable price.

I would rather just take a draft pick for capital and run our own set of reasonable goalies at a reasonable price with more upside.

We have to recoup some middle of the pack draft capital anyways.

Yes…but haven’t Comrie and UPL pretty much forced his hand? They can’t be the duo next year. A veteran has to be picked up who can take over the old man who isn’t complete trash for Anderson.

If Talbot would sign an extension with them…it feels exactly like what they would do for next year

 

[notsocommonsense]

A reasonable goalie at a reasonable price.

Desmith is not a good G, bringing him back in a deal and having him for another year is awful for the sens, especially while retaining on Talbot. They’d be better off just dumping Talbot than doing this, or letting his deal run out and walk

Terrible price to pay for Demko.

If he was a top ten goalie in the league at 27 on a multi-year term deal Vancouver wouldn’t entertain the thought of moving him in this window of theirs, and they also would be a perennial contender in the West.

12-16 first round pick has a lot of value
Greig is a blue chip prospect
Kleven sure, might be a throwaway I guess? Still a second round pick that has been progressing well.

Vancouver should go trade their 2023 first round pick, Lekkerimaki, and Rathbone or whatever throwaway prospect they have as a third piece for Vejmelka.

1st round pick - middle of the pack
Lekkerimaki - one dimensional middle six winger
Rathbone - nothing special

I can do the same thing to try to justify dog shit trades.

Bold for a goalie that old to turn down an extension.
