Proposal: Ottawa Senators Fire Sale

[JungleBeat]

This upcoming offseason I expect Pierre Dorion to make lots of moves to allow out younger players to get more opportunities with the big club. Below is a list of players that may be available - picks and prospects are wanted.

Cody Ceci
Mark Boroweicki
Alexander Burrows - Likely zero value.
Mike Hoffman
Bobby Ryan - Likely negative value.
Zach Smith
Tom Pyatt
Craig Anderson
Mike Condon

That would make one nice draft pick to Colorado

Borowiecki played very well this year and although is still a bottom 6 guy in my eyes, would be a very tough guy to replace. He brings more than people think.

As much as I'd like to deal him before he signs an overpaid deal, Ceci isn't going anywhere this year. Ideally he goes to arbitration and we deal him next year, while drafting Boqvist/Dobson this year and pray they're ready next year.

Hoff is likely gone at the draft simply due to his cap hit and that his value is likely at its highest with 2 years left at 5.1 million. Should get a 1st and a very good prospect for him.

Doubt Anderson gets dealt. Bobby is likely but I just hope they don't pay too much to get rid of the cap it. He's actually decent when healthy. The rest is a good list. I might even add Pageau to that list, unfortunately.

Yes it would. The truth is, Dorion has stated the 4thOA should land an NHL ready player. That gives you all the insight you need on what Dorion's mindset is coming into next season. The Sens will be gunning for the playoffs.

Still stunned we got J Dahlen for whats left of Burrows

We felt bad for you

I would love hoffman on the flames. Would TJ Brodie work as a basis?

Would Ottawa trade Karlsson to Montreal?

Well you would have to add. Most people say either its Hamilton for a package because your GM wants a 1st rounder, or Brodie for said 1st rounder.

Would Ottawa trade Karlsson to Montreal?

If the assets coming back to Ottawa were worthwhile, probably. Something around Drouin, Galch and 2018 1st would probably work.

 

[Duncstar]

Would Ottawa trade Karlsson to Montreal?

Eklund seems to think so, as well as Toronto. Can't see Montreal doing it though just because of the holes on their roster (3OA would have to be part of a package).

Way too much. No hurt in asking though

Montreal shouldn't be looking to add, but rebuild properly, and possibly sell off themselves.

Ottawa's price probably drops as the season goes by, "if" it looks as though they won't be able to resign EK. They need to get something back for him, though are justified in asking the moon right now.

Eklund thinks a lot of things. In fact he seems to present every thought he has as a rumor

They won't rebuild. Takes too long and no guarantee at end. Islanders, 'Yotes been rebuilding forever. Oilers and Leafs been rebuilding for 12 years. Look for Habs to copy Bruins way

He will be traded before the season start if hes not resigning.

He has alot of time on the crapper

Eklund says Karlsson to TO? Whew....at least i don't have to worry about the Leafs spending huge assets for him now.

On topic, what's Ceci's value?

Probably late 1st. I'd rather deal him for a cap/age comparable RFA forward. But probably late 1st/early 2nd. Trading him to Toronto could be a huge mistake though in my eyes. I think Babcock would make him a pretty darn good #3.

A 4/5 RHD whose young but struggles as a shutdown D (shouldn't be used as this but our team is dumb). Top 9 fwd, or top 6 but OTT adds slightly.

Would Ottawa trade Karlsson to Montreal?

As an objective fan I really can't see Montreal having the pieces to entice the Sens to trade to a division rival. It would have to start with the 3OA, + one of Drouin/Galchenyuk + top prospect to get things rolling.

 

[TkachukNorris79]

Would Ottawa trade Karlsson to Montreal?

I'd do it for 3OA+Sergac..... Oh wait never mind

Those aren't the right pieces coming back. MTL doesn't have the assets to acquire EK.

The Hyperbole is strong within this one. Maybe you'd prefer a young D back, but from a value perspective, Ottawa won't do better than that, should they have to move EK.
