Rumor: Corey Perry and Ottawa Senators Have Mutual Interest

[Qward]

Thats not really how it works.

If they dont meet the games played requirements it does.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Keep more kids in the minors so that less are exposed to Seattle.

Thats not a bad point.

There are always going to be injuries as well. Kids who don't make the team outa camp will get opportunities to play.

Also makes it so the 1 or 2 who do make it out of camp really have to earn it.

 

[Larry Hanson]

OTT fans should like this. A cheap vet who plays hard and can teach the young guys what it takes to succeed in this league. You can't have a team full of rookies, that's a recipe for disaster. Besides, if a young player can't beat out 35 year old Perry for a roster spot then they're not ready yet.

I'd love to have Perry on the Flames at 1M if they had any room, could pretty much corner the market on Ahole players.

 

[EXTRAS]

There's gonna be no room for all ottawas young talented prospects if they keep bringing in over the hill guys

 

[NyQuil]

Weird.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

I like this. People have been whining over the lack of vets on a young squad - why not add a guy (for a year or two) who's done it all in this league? If he has anything left in the tank he'll be playing for a sweet deadline move. If he's outta gas we'll have a player/coach mentoring the young guys through the building process.

Ottawa's well under the cap - there's absolutely no pinch. Go at 'er. Get 'er done.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Ottawa needs some spots for Batherson, Formenton, Balcers, Abramov, Stuetzel, Norris, etc too.

Yeah, exactly.

 

[Kcb12345]

Why doesn't he go back to Dallas. He did pretty well there no?

His performance in the final likely priced him out of Dallas. They also have younger players who can take his place and play a similar role on the PP which was most nights the only place he was useful

We have to be worried for Covid too taking people out, I dont hate more forwards for guys that go down

 

[Mr Positive]

Right now FAs should cling to whatever paycheck they can get.

It's even smart to sign with a bad team, because you can get big cash, and they will sell you to a contender at the deadline with retention.

What's funny is that if too many FAs do that, a team like Ottawa might actually be ... good? lol (only half joking)

 

[serp]

He probably is looking for a halfdecent paycheck which contenders can't provide or won't. WIth all the bonuses he earned more than $3M last season with the Stars ( only missed the win Cup bonus ) . Doubt he wants to play for league minimum. Still can be traded at the deadline to a good team.

 

[Masked]

If they dont meet the games played requirements it does.

There is no games played requirements to be selected. Only that each team has to expose a certain number of players who meet the requirements. So unless players like Batherson and Logan Brown don't play at all next season, thus not accruing a third pro season, they'll be eligible to be picked unless protected.

Brown, Batherson and Abramov I expect on the roster with Balcers in and out. For Formenton, Norris and Stutzle all simmer for another season

Regardless of if they are in the NHL at all or not (assuming they are in the AHL, or similar pro league, at all), Balcers, Brown, Abramov, and Formenton will be eligible to be selected (or protected).
Norris and Stutzle will not.


The games played requirement is just that teams must expose a minimum number of players that meet that requirement in addition to other players exposed.

 

[IranCondraAffair]

As far as the young bodies argument goes:

1. There are only nine forwards who will be 100% on the roster. Dadanov, Anisimov, Brown, Tierney, Tkachuk, Watson, Paul, Galchenyuk. We still ahve 4 spots for rookies. Watson and Paul shouldn't be blocking anyone from truly earning a spot. If Formenton, Logan Brown, Abramov, etc.. are any good, a vet can sit in the press box.

2. Batherson, Norris, Brown, Chlapik, Balcers, Abramov, Formenton, etc.. aren't subject to waivers that I am aware of so there is no chance of losing them.

3. Galchenyuk and Anisimov will probably be gone at the deadline. If the Sens suck, it opens up spots on the "back nine" of the season for rookies to get additional games. If the Sens are bad how many games do you see Anisimov playing before being traded? 40? 50? Galchenyuk isn't likely going to block Logan Brown for more than 50 games.

4. If we play too many young players it impacts our expansion draft protections.

5. If we play too many rookies they might be overmatched and develop bad habits.

6. If we play too many rookies and suck, guys like Tkachuk might not elect to sign extensions if we aren't making concrete progress in the standings.

7. There WILL be injuries and spots will open up as the season progresses. You always have to "budget" that you're going to be losing at least 200+ games among your 4 forward lines. That is two "extra" spots right there, even if they're spread out over the season. Assuming no one on the Sens is at risk of being lost to waivers, I'd much prefer the Sens sign cheap players and sit them in the press box than trade draft picks for injury replacements later.

8. We aren't signing a lot of AHL talent. Batherson, Norris, Brown, Chlapik, Balcers, Abramov, Formenton will be top-6 minutes in the AHL or elsewhere so it is not like we're totally missing development. Norris can use another 1/2 season, Stutzle, and Formenton too. Chlapik will probably make the roster and so will Batherson and Balcers. Really only Abramov and Brown are fighting for 1 spot that will open up to 3 spots (injuries even if no one is traded).

Norris and Batherson will not be on the fourth line. The right side likely looks like

Dadonov
Batherson
C. Brown
Watson

Batherson is not a lock to be in the top six, but I’d rather try him there rather than sign a free agent like Perry. Batherson has been in the organization for a bit now, and likely will be on the team. If he is, it will be on one of the top three lines. Personally, I don’t see room for Perry.

 

[780il]

Ottawa just bringing in hella guys on cheap deals to get more picks at the deadline

 

[SensFactor]

Cory is from Peterborough, Ontario which is about 3 hour west of Ottawa. Dorion doing some weird stuff but Cory is a proven cup champion and vet and at 35 he's not completely done. Plus let's be honest he's gonna come cheap.

Sens loading up on grit, reclamation projects, vets and they have a ton of youth coming from AHL. Not to mention Stutzle liking coming from Germany.

Tkachuk/Anisimov/Dadonov

Paul/Galchenyuk/White
Abramov /Brown/ Watson
Ex: Balcers, Chlapik

Something like that is my guess. Abramov has been a man on a mission in the SHL and almost made the team last year. L Brown is probably going to get a lot of looks because of the powerplay. All bottom-5 guys will rotated around as needed based on health, opposition. Paul might get moved down a line by Watson if they want more "jam" with Galchenyuk and White.

If this is all part of "The Plan" it seems really random

 

[Langdon Alger]

We have to be worried for Covid too taking people out, I dont hate more forwards for guys that go down

Ottawa has plenty of other guys

Stutzle
Formenton
Chlapik
Abaramov
Balcers
Davidson
Peca
Shaw
Beaudin

 

[Bounces R Way]

They need to fill the washed up ex-Duck winger quota since buying out Ryan.

 

[Langdon Alger]

It’s possible Ottawa had interest before they signed Galchenyuk, but now they’ve moved on. I don’t see where Perry would fit in.
