Creative solutions for getting rid of our goalies.

[NyQuil]

1. You start up a pop-up restaurant with a really well-known hipster chef that takes place in a shipping container.

2. You spread the word via social media, articles in the Air Canada in-flight magazine, what have you.

3. You have a special 11 course tasting menu night and invite the goalies to it.

4. When they arrive, there is no restaurant, just a shipping container, and you close the doors and send it via Via Rail to the port of Montreal and thence to Sri Lanka.

5. Repeat.

Trade Forsberg and call up Sogaard

I wonder what a Forsberg trade would look like

 

[Slippy]

Just tell them straight up, they need to save their job. They've already proven they can't save anything.

Forsberg for Samsonov? I am not saying that we should do this. But it is a......possibility

 

[Senovision]

I think Korpisalo is untradeable and has to work his way out of this. That 5 year contract is an albatross around our necks.

I heard Elliott Freedman say Toronto offered Ottawa a 6th for Forsberg and we said no? Why????

Can someone confirm this?

Edmonton strikes me as a team that might want a goalie. I'd think we'd get more than a 6th.

Unless someone offers us a 2nd rounder or a coupe of 3rds for Forsberg we might as well keep him and let Sogaard cook while we figure out our team defense. No one is touching Korpisalo's contract and he can still bounce back.

Our goalies are fine, but our team defense is shit as evidenced by former Sens goalies being dope elsewhere.

Actually, playing for Ottawa is a blessing in disguise for goalies... that when you end up somewhere else, it becomes a piece of cake

Because if it was AFTER Dorion was canned, we have hockey IQ now. You really do NOT want to rush Mads Sogaard into this

Not that it's perfect in Belleville but it can't be as bad?

Samsonov + pick? But Samsonov AAV is higher than Forsberg so can't fit him

But personally I want nothing to do with this. Sens fans would have a hard time dealing with Forsberg having success in Toronto. Matt Murray was really good for them until he ran into injury trouble (which had a 99% chance of happening)

We have had enough of our "crappy players" becoming good elsewhere (bizarre, no?)

Stone, Duchene, Zibanejad are still PPG, Karlsson won another Norris, Pageau had some good playoffs runs, Talbot and Gustavsson had strong seasons the year after leaving Ottawa, etc etc etc

I think Korpisalo is untradeable and has to work his way out of this. That 5 year contract is an albatross around our necks.

Nah, it's just called a Dorion contract.

 

[Senovision]

We might have to trade away Forsberg.
Then unfortunately go out and acquire maybe through a trade or not a 5 or 6 million dollar goalie to come in and be our number one goalie.
I know that would mean $10 million dollars in goalies but there are a few teams that do spend that much money on their goalies.

Where did you hear it? I doubt Toronto would offer that, that Ottawa would turn it down, and that Friedman would report something as specific as a 6th round pick.

Something about Toronto offering their 6th to almost every single team for their backup including Ottawa and Forsberg among other teams.

I would have taken it. Would have solved our cap issues and made room for Sogaard or Meri or someone next year who can hopefully do better.

If Staios manages to get more for him I'll be impressed.

For the record I would give up Korpi for a similar asset as well, so maybe I just have a negative bias toward our goalies.
