Solid addition to teams camp. I like this move. Doubt he makes it, but he could be this years version of Brassard for us.

 

[SI90]

Hope he makes it. Won’t find a better Pro. He still has enough game to be a third liner.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Geez, I'm surprised he accepted a PTO.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Really happy with this move, I think he has a good chance to earn a contract.

Well there is a guy who will 100% get a contract after PTO

 

[Linds]

Did this guy really fall off this far to trying out on a PTO for league minimum?

 

[Boud]

I would not be surprised at all if Matieu Joseph is traded very soon and they give a league minimum contract to Bailey.

Then sign Pinto.

 

[Senscore]

Hope we can find a way to fit him. Seems like an ideal depth pickup.


He still has some gas left in the tank.

Does he really though? I think that's the issue with Bailey. He's really not a "bottom-6" type player. He's more of an offensive, scoring line player...who has slowed down to the point you really don't want him in your Top-6 anymore. That makes him a tricky fit for most clubs.

If you've got the right spot for him, on say...an offense-oriented, soft minutes, third "scoring line", he could definitely add something. But it's a bit of a niche fit. Especially when guys like Tatar who are more legitimate Top-6 Wingers are scrambling for last minute 1-year $1.5M deals.

Geez, I'm surprised he accepted a PTO.

This is still surprising though. I would've thought there's at least someone out there who would toss him a close to minimum deal to fill out a roster as scoring depth somewhere. But i guess not. Everyone wants to get their young, cheap players those minutes and opportunity to crack the roster.

cant believe all he got was a pto. nice move for the sens.

why wouldn't said team just sign bailey instead of moving assets for joseph

He was very underrated over the course of his entire career, but last year he did noticeably regress.

What are the sens adding to Joseph? That's a lot of $ for a 13th Forward

There's no way he's a 13th forward. The f***er had the worst year ever last year, but he's a lot better than he's shown. I really hope we can find a way to keep him.

Joseph is younger and plays with more jam than Bailey at this point but it would mostly be to get another asset (pick/prospect) I would guess. If it happens..let's see I could also see Brannstrom moving.

brannstrom makes more sense, can't really see there being much interest in joseph with that contract.

i wonder if this mean they aren't making progress with pinto.

No, nothing to do with Pinto. Pinto is on a completely different level than either. It likely means were unfortunately attaching something to Joseph to get rid of him

Somewhere between Opstapchuk and a 1st is the type of value it's going to take for someone to take on Joseph IMO. I don't think something like a 2nd and a scrub prospect makes it happen unfortunately.

Hopefully I'm wrong though.

Fuuuuuck that then. Brannstrom it is.

 

[izzy]

I can't see him not earning a contact somewhere from this

Can still play

 

[StoneHoffs129]

Nah odds are is we will need Branny more then we need Ostapchuk this season. Love our defense now but they can't seem to stay healthy.

It won't take nearly that much, especially if we retain. Joseph is overpaid by about 500k.

 

[RangersFan1994]

As a Rangers fan, I think he can still be a 15 -20 goal scorer. Coach didn't like him on the Islanders for some reason

I find it hard to swallow to give up a prospect like Ostapchuk to rid ourselves of a good player because of a million dollars. I don't want to get rid of either Brannstrom or Joseph personally
