Habs at 15 picks! We'll hear a lot of Montral and Ottawa at the draftThe Sens now have 13 2020 draft picks.
Warm body that plays fast and hard so they can keep the top prospects in Belleville. Id imagine this means that Ennis is moving so likely upgrading the pick from a 7th to a 4th or 3rd.
Peca competes I know exactly who he is thanks. I also didnt say anything about his size not sure why you brought that up.... Hard? Then you're probably describing another Matthew Peca, because this one is absolutely nothing special in that regards. (And he's 5'9 or something). He is a pretty good skater though.
Why do they have to trade a draft pick to do it? They could've easily claimed guys off waivers.Ottawa needed a warm body. They wanted to maximise AHL playoff eligibility so they needed to assign some guys. You can only recall 4 players from now until the end of the year, so grabbing a couple of roster fillers makes sense.
Keep in mind too that Ottawa could trade for (or sign) extra roster fillers later on if they need to, since they won’t be concerned about NHL playoff eligibility.
They wanted to free up contract spaces in case they are able to sign some guys when their junior/college seasons end.Why do they have to trade a draft pick to do it? They could've easily claimed guys off waivers.
Meh, I'll take the 7th. Peca sucks.
