Confirmed with Link: Namestnikov to COL for 2021 4th rd pick

[Lenny the Lynx]

"Trade everyone, no matter what the return."

"What a terrible return."

If I was GM I would have gotten a 2023 3rd

 

[BondraTime]

It’s 2021 so you who knows. Col might pull a 2018 Sens or 2020 SJ. Either way at least we didn’t move down a round. I’m not blown away by any means but at least the people who complained about trading a pick for Names can shut up now since it’s a wash.

It's not a wash, it was a completely pointless trade in which we likely move down 20 spots and lost a guy like Ebert, all while spending ~2 million on a guy we didn't need in any way whatsoever. It's a problematic approach that seems to lack foresight.

 

[Sensinitis]

was hoping for a 3rd but glad it's a pick in 2021... we don't need anymore late rounders this year

 

[SensFactor]

Another bad trade by an even worse gm.

 

[GCK]

Pretty sure we didn't get a depth dman back as well, and the pick will be lower than ours, so its not really a wash.

Eberts is an AHL D making 300K. Help me understand how we think we added.

 

[BondraTime]

Kept Bath in minors to perculate.

We could have kept Bath down regardless...we had Boedker in the pressbox already and guys like Veranneau/Davidsson/etc. in and out of the lineup in Belleville who could have filled Boedker's role in the pressbox.

I don't care about giving up a 4th or only getting back a 4th, that's what Namestikov is worth. I care about the seemingly lack of foresight and direction we have.

 

[danielpalfredsson]

Can't believe we couldn't get a 3rd for him. Harsh return.

It wasn't completely pointless.

We needed warm bodies in the line-up for this season.

People complain a lot about the smallest things here.

 

[Dingleberry]

Dropping a few spots in the 100s in the draft is literally meaningless. It was a good gamble.

 

[BondraTime]

It wasn't completely pointless.

We needed warm bodies in the line-up for this season.

We have Boedker sitting in the pressbox making 4.5 million who has been healthy all year and has played 11 games, we had Verraneau/Davidsson in the pressbox in the AHL. We had/have tons of bodies to fill our forward lineup, we didn't need to spend 2 million on Namestikov when we have a guy in Boedker riding the pine who we could have just inserted. .

I think Boedker is bad for player development.

Yes, I see you complaining about it nonstop

 

[BondraTime]

I think Boedker is bad for player development.

What do you mean?

 

[Sensmileletsgo]

I enjoyed watching Namestikov this year about 10x more than I enjoyed watching Boedker. I’m ok that we gave up some spots in the 4th round for that, but maybe I’m being selfish.

 

[NyQuil]

What do you mean?

He's terrible.

Putting him on the ice is counter-productive if you're trying to teach kids how to play hockey.

We are actively dressing Scott Sabourin....don't think dressing Boedker hurts any one elses development the same way Sabourin isn't hurting anyone else's development

 

[NyQuil]

We are actively dressing Scott Saborin....

While he lacks a brain, hands, skating ability or skill, at least he has a heart.

And who cares how many minutes he gets.

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

I would say the trade also gives Namestnikov a taste of the team and city in case they want to look at him again on July 1

 

[senators101]

I'm surprised that's all he returned, but I'm not upset.

He took a chance at a buy low player and got a similar return. It's not like he went all in on a rental. I'm ok with taking these chances in a rebuilding season. If he got a third, all of a sudden it would have been good asset management?

On the one hand sure

On the other hand, we've have had a good 60 games where we are in hockey games chasing a 1 goal deficit in the 3rd. Protecting a 1 goal lead in the 3rd. In many respects the competitiveness of this years team has been good for the younger guys...and Namestikov played a role in that

Who cares how many minutes Boedker gets? He's in the lineup now for the rest of the season, what's the difference?

 

[NyQuil]

Honestly, I don't really care.

We dropped a few spots in the 4th round. We had a decent player in the line-up for awhile.

The hand-wringing is unnecessary.

 

[GCK]

We unloaded a 300K AHL contract which is added value for the Sens not giving more.

Also lacks fighting ability, but you’re right he’s got heart.
