Dreger: Dorion looking to make another trade similar to Namestnikov

[bert]

What an absolute moron. The last thing they should be doing is trading assets for useless players. They already sit on 49 contracts and prospects that are supposed to be playing are healthy scratches in the AHL because they have so many bad NHL players taking up roster spots. They should be trying to do the opposite.

Get this guy away from the franchise.

Dal Colle + Ho-Sang + 2nd for Brown

Connor Brown sure, done deal.

 

[Raspewtin]

Got a gently worn Marc Staal for you if you're interested

Does he play forward?

 

[BigFatCat999]

Craig Smith for a pick?

 

[Rydgar]

Josh Leivo, Sven Baertschi, and/or Nikolai Goldobin would make sense from the Canucks.

 

[DJB]

It will be a player that was already waived or is on an ELC that's been a dissapointment thus far.

Very little draft pivk value will be moved by Ottawa to make a deal

 

[Ser Grogu]

i bet Sens trade for Ho-Sang. just a feeling

 

[SensFactor]

Just wait..

You are right now it's 7pts in 7 games... Good call.

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

Wrong thread lOl

trade for Frolik

 

[LeProspector]

Ho-Sang makes a ton of sense.

 

[Hossa]

Classic Dorion asset management. Burns contract spots on guys like Ennis and Sabourin, passes on using his last contract to claim Sprong, Baertschi, Goldobin or Ho-Sang on waivers, and then a couple weeks later looking to give up assets for cheap forward help.

 

[Sting]

It's true. He had to have known some quality players would be on waivers early in the year. It makes zero sense to pay money and burn contract spots on some of these guys. There are quite a few examples, including some on our team, of players who have turned it around when given an opportunity.

You're both missing the point. When all is said and done, they'll be UP net futures assets, not down, after Namestnikov and any other player they're seeking comes and goes.

That's the plan here: early season, buy-low on a last-year-of-contract guy buried on another team's depth chart. Give that player ample ice time in Ottawa where simply by virtue of being given opportunities (like PP time) he had long since stopped getting in his previous team, he starts looking like a decent player again. Then come February, once the player has a decent stat line and only a couple months of contract left and teams in playoffs spots are seeking to add depth without commitment, trade the player away for more assets than they paid to bring them in.

There's no actual relevant giving up of assets here, like you two are implying. The net assets in will be greater than the net assets out.

Send Ritchie to TOR to shut Don Cherry up

 

[Bevans]

Don't see how you could be against another Namestikov trade. At this rate he's going to be turned into a 2nd or two mid picks at the deadline. Hopefully by then some of these AHL players are ready to step in and finish the season strong.

For once Melnyk spends a bit of money to grow an asset and he's still slammed for it. He deserves credit where it's due.

If he were willing to spend the money, why didn't they trade for Marleau and take the first round pick (or slightly less)?

 

[Lockin17]

Byron for 2020 2rd (Jackets) + 2020 3rd (jackets)

 

[Kelly]

This has Nic Petan written all over it.

Probably could be had for dirt cheap.

 

[Bevans]

He wasn't. That's the point.

Besides he'll pay significantly less for Namestikov. We can compare the respective ROIs once we know how much he spent on Namestikov and what the Senators gets for him

 

[Qward]

Byron for 2020 2rd (Jackets) + 2020 3rd (jackets)

Did you read any part of this thread?

 

[FoxyClean]

Strome for your 3rd.

 

[KevinRedkey]

Frolik makes some sense.
4.300 cap hit with a 3.000 salary. UFA at year's end.

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

Oh wait, Byron's signed for a few more years. Still think he'd fit well in Ottawa and get more opportunity to play, no paid overly much and would be an instant fan favourite

Byron would be a good get from the habs, and regarding your avatar...

 

[supsens]

How do you know? Toronto might have chosen who gets the first after nobody else did it for a second rounder. It’s not just up to the sens who gets what in the NHL
Boston is the last place they would ever give a first too followed by Montreal then Ottawa
