Confirmed with Link: Joseph and 4th from Tampa for Paul

[Tuna99]

If Tampa can’t afford Paul (which they can’t) could Ottawa resign Paul this summer? Intriguing

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDoo]

Hope Paul wins a cup in Tampa.

If he helps TB take out the Leafs in the first round that’ll be a good outcome.

 

[Butchy Dakkar]

No, we retained salary on him too

Calculating down to pennies, such an odd percentage

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

He is younger, faster Nick Paul.

Dorian did well here.

Another real weapon on the PK as well

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Did we seriously just trade one of our better valued players for a 4th liner and a.........4th round pick???

Please, for the love of all that is good, fire our POS GM right the f*** now.

And you know Dorion is sure that Joseph will turn into a top 6 guy on a bargain.

He sounds like another Formenton: all speed, no hands.

 

[BondraTime]

I’d bet that Joseph is a better NHLer in Ottawa than Paul was in his time here

We did great here for a change, needed actual players that fit in with the core in return for someone we shipped out.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Joseph is legit, and i’m quite impressed Dorian was able to get him for Paul.

He's legit a bottom 6er. Not sure why so many think he'll find another gear playing with the likes of Tierney, Ennis or Gambrell.

We needed Paul more than we needed another Formenton but with even less offensive talent.

Not when he sees those bonus offers in the summer.

After he gets a taste of success I'd doubt he'd want to come back

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Not the worst trade and not the best trade. We’ll see how it works out in time. I think Joseph can perhaps produce more here with a bigger opportunity than in Tampa.

 

[DJB]

Joseph apparently friends with Chabot so that is good

 

[PlayOn]

Happy we got a roster player and I like Joseph. Paul will be great with Tampa too, happy for him.

I am pretty sure Nick fit in with the core pretty well hence the A on his jersey

Plus once he goes to the beach wearing only a banana hammock and sees the chicks down there vs up here?

Likely not but it’s definitely a lateral move that i’m okay with.

 

[Ouroboros]

Even still - I don't hate it. Joseph has more to give and he'll get a lot more opportunity here.

I agree. I like this trade. I have always like Joseph as a player . I think he will fit right in here and he'll get better minutes as well as being another threat on the PK. People will like him when they see him play.

 

[BondraTime]

Sure, not sure that has to do with anything though. We’ve traded a lot of guys that fit in with the core, it’s nice to get someone back who does instead of picks

 

[Ouroboros]

Also - this is the first time the Sens have ever retained to juice the value on a rental. That's a pretty big change in philosophy.

 

[BondraTime]

Even still - I don't hate it. Joseph has more to give and he'll get a lot more opportunity here.

They couldn’t go to arb with him because his contract would put them over the Cap, one of the rare situations where qualifying a RFA is the same as sending him to waivers.

 

[SensFactor]

Joseph on a team that will give him more mins can average about 20 goals a season...decent trade.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Plus once he goes to the beach wearing only a banana hammock and sees the chicks down there vs up here?

I am pretty sure if girls down there saw him wearing only a banana hammock it's them that wouldn't want him to leave.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

That seems wildly optimistic.

 

[SensFactor]

Don’t know what to think of this. The Sens retain some salary and the 4th is for the 2024 draft.

We have a crap load of draft picks already...plus I'm sure we are going to get another couple of late rounders tomm
