you are gonna have to give up a lot more than cole to dump bobby ryan. 7.5 real salary for a 30-40pt winger?
think at least 2 of ceci,white,brown,1st rd pick
Melnyk takes that and runs

Only makes sense if he plays the right which I'm assuming you don't know...If by that you mean Cole actually plays D you are correct

They play different positions.....
Yeah I would def take him on our 3rd pair. Gritty veteran playoff warrior. Would be a great mentor besides Dermott too.
which 2? I can imagine Vegas/Zona with ample cap space taking on a big salary winger to get a couple key assets.
Brown + a top 5 protected 1st this year....do they do it?
What side does Hainsey play and what way does he shoot? Cole is one of the better PK defensemen in the league. An upgrade is an upgrade...............................
Some can play their off-side, a lot can't.What side does Hainsey play and what way does he shoot? Cole is one of the better PK defensemen in the league. An upgrade is an upgrade...............................
I was only kidding but my guess is whichever way he saves the most money that’s the deal Dorion takes.
he would be saving like 30m so i think he would do it lol. Ottawa deserves a better owner
Ian Cole is probably the best rental defenseman available - maybe second to Mike Green. That might say more about the market than the player, but it's true nonetheless.
If Nick Holden brings back a 3rd and a prospect, then Cole should be worth at least a 2nd.
Our top 4 is fine and wouldn't be the reason why we lose a playoff round. Aiming higher means giving up a lot more than a 3rd.

Bobby Ryan no retention by the Sens I don’t think that is possible. I didn’t think packaging him with Karlsson would be financially possible for a contender either - but now with these 5 team deals where one acts as a mule, requiring pivot tables to keep track of all the moving pieces - I’m not so sure?

I'll pony up a 2nd pick for someone that's an upgrade AND a good fit. We don't know who is and isn't available but I'm sure there's a better fit out there.I don't even care if he can't. He'll still be an upgrade over Polak.
Babcock right now has musical chairs going with Polak and Carrick as the 6th D. Both those players are rotating in and out every game.
Babcock says Polak is a better penalty killer and a Bigger/Meaner player.....While Carrick is more of a puck mover and trust worthy player with the puck.
Ian Cole is essentially a mix between them both. Thats why I think Ian Cole would be a prime trade target for the leafs
I’d prefer using that 2nd(+?) and adding it to the assets from moving JVR and go for Tanev or McDonagh.
I mean sure I guess. I didnt really mention any trade offers. I was just talking fit wise.
Also, its gonna take a lot more to get McDonagh than JVR + 2nd. Idk why rangers would even want JVR
