Hey, atleast we got something.

source?

Interesting - it's on the Sens website:

http://senators.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=673260

I wonder what the condition is?

 

[Midas0]

awesome! gives another late pick for our scouts and pierre dorion to play with. great work!

 

[Sensinitis]

Nice! Probably conditional on if he signs with them or not.

 

[McManked]

So this is like the rights to Sergei Gonchar for Mark Stone, right? Or better yet, Alfie!

 

[Sens Mile]

I called it, this will be a trend this year with the lower salaries. Thanks Gonchar, I LOVE that Murray made this trade. Love it, Love it, Love it, we need to stockpile as many assets as possible. We could be wielding an extra prospect in exchange for nothing.

Muy interesante. I forgot you could even make trades right now.

I guess that fills the void we made with the Kassian trade, or theres someone Dorion wants to take a flyer on i guess.

I think we all knew the Sarge was leaving when that KHL rumor popped up a day or two ago.

Weird that its Dallas though. After selling off their vets at the deadline, they aquire the rights of a 39 year old months later...

 

[McManked]

Nice! Probably conditional on if he signs with them or not.

Except it's for 2013, right? So there'd be no way of knowing if he signs because what if he was signed between the end of the draft and start of free agency?

 

[Sens Mile]

From the press release, kind of sounds like the deal is done.

“We thank Sergei for his efforts in Ottawa,” said Senators general manager Bryan Murray. “We felt that this trade will give Sergei the opportunity to extend his career in the NHL and we wish him success with the Stars.

 

[Rumcajs]

Basically means we got Kassian for free....right?

 

[Gil Gunderson]

awesome! gives another late pick for our scouts and pierre dorion to play with. great work!

If he signs that is.

 

[Beville]

Interesting choice, can't really complain I suppose... Would've been nice to keep him but oh well!

they are lining up for a blockbuster to get malkin with a big winger going the other way

 

[Benjamin]

Good. Confirms what I wanted. No more Gonchar.

 

[Milan the God*]

Great asset management by Bryan Murray.

 

[McManked]

Please don't overpay for a crappy defenseman A.K.A Streit.

PLEASE! PLEASE!

No more than 2 @ 10 million.

In before Murray signs Streit 3 years @ 16.5 .

Great to see us capitalize and get something out of nothing (potentially).

Gonch probably did more for this team than we saw with our own eyes, and I thank him for his time here. It's a shame he went out the way that he did.

 

[Deku]

Thanks for everything, Gonch.
Glad we got something back, of course, if the conditions are met. Do we know what they are?


Also, I almost flipped out when I saw OTT/DAL because I was hoping it was Loui Eriksson

No..

I would assume him signing, though if it was it would make sense to either have an absolute 6th round pick or a conditional 2014 draft pick.

I semi follow Dallas, and this makes no sense to me either. Who would they trade? Loui or Benn? Thats what it would take along with a huge +. Theres way more holes on that team than Malkin could cover, so he would leave the next year.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Saying we got something for nothing is a bit premature

Gonchar is going to go to the KHL and we are likely not getting the conditional pick

Bob Mckenzie (you may know him from his role in the hit single Puck Over Glass) disagrees.
