Is there another team who’s given up more talent than Ottawa?

[Sens With Benefits]

Watching these playoffs have been interesting. Seeing so many ex Sens flourish is bittersweet. It sad to not see them in the Sens colour but I’m genuinely happy for guys like Stone and Duchene.

I’m curious to see if any other team in the league has given up that much talent within the span of the last 6-7 years, 13 if you count Chara.

Robin Lehner vezina nominee
Ben Bishop vezina nominee
Zdeno Chara Norris trophy winner
Nick Foligno captain and 2nd liner
Matt Duchene 1st line center
Ryan Dzingel 2nd line winger
Erik Karlsson 2x Norris winner
Marc Stone selke candidate 1st line winger

Others
Jason Spezza
Marc Methot

Don't forget a top 4 prospect to be named later.

Oh and no, not in this league. Right now the Sens are like an NBA team once Lebron James is through playing for them. All the good talent is gone (besides a few young guys) and all the pluggy unwanted JAGs remain.

 

[Trinstin]

No. The Senators have pulled off quite the feat. They have basically traded away a million dollars for a few magic beans that could turn into a half a million dollars. I feel sorry for their fans.

Yeah that's true as well. This is just the players left in the playoffs.

Say what you want about the sens but they are incredible at drafting

 

[Cloned]

Oilers:

Gretzky (GOAT)
Messier (Top 20 player)
Kurri (Top 10 Euro player)
Anderson (HOF)
Coffey (Top 5 defender of all time)
Weight (1000 point player)
Guerin (top line power forward)
Carter (top line forward)
Smyth (top line forward)
Arnott (top line forward, SC winner)
Fuhr (HOF)
Moog (starting goalie)
Satan (top 6 forward)
Whitney (top 6 forward)
Czerkawski (top 6 forward)
Joseph (very good starting goalie)
Hall (top line forward)
Gustafsson (60 points this year)
Dubnyk (starting goalie)
Eberle (top 6 forward)
Pronger (Top 10 defender of all time)

As an Oilers fan, it hurts. I'm sure there's more that I'm forgetting.

 

[General Disarray]

They are great at drafting. They are essentially a farm team for other teams.

 

[Trocity]

Boston has traded away guys like Thornton, Kessel, Seguin, but yeah, the Sens are a joke.

You forgot Turris and Brassard plus Zibanejad (who isn't in the playoffs but still

Turris and Brass are on the decline. Zibby stings because he's in hid mid twenties.

The Flames traded away most of their 89 Cup team over a few years for a pile of beans and Iginla. Iginla’s nice and all but they lost:

Roberts
Gilmour
Joe Mullen
Vernon
Nieuwendyk
Macinnis
Suter

 

[Taluss]

Oilers or Isles came close

 

[Machinehead]

Add the next captain of the New York Rangers to that list.

Pretty brutal stuff.

 

[Thrasymachus]

New York islanders win

 

[illpucks]

You forgot Hasek

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Thornton
Kessel
Seguin
Hamilton
Not to mention Barzal or Connor by drafting trash

Also gave up on St. Louis, Giguere, Hull

@Mack Attack Also some of recent players may be not happy with owner because apparently the players like Duchene, Stone opted not to take long term deal with Sens.

 

[Mickey Marner]

+Hossa, Havlat, Heatley etc.

Nobody in my lifetime has given up more talent in probably any sport.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

#1 at something.

Hell yeah!

As a Sens fan I can’t blame them. I’m also trying not to get excited about future players. Tkachuk and Chabot will leave too.

Thornton

And both you guys forgot about Wheeler.

 

[who_me?]

Just relocate the franchise to Quebec City and call them the Quebec Senateurs Nordiques.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

Bruins:

Thornton
Kessel
Seguin
Wheeler
Reilly Smith
Hamilton
Colin Miller
Martin Jones
Boychuk

Soooooo, yeah

 

[JETZZZ]

Also gave up on St. Louis, Giguere, Hull

Its probably worth noting that Ottawa also gave up on St.Louis as well in 97/98
