... I don’t know anything about anyone in this trade. Are we sure all four guys aren’t made up?

I remember Stefan Elliot when he was an Avs’ prospect. He was supposed to be pretty good, never panned out though.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

So Sens get Lindberg back lol? He was a supposed main piece from the Phaneuf trade lol.

 

[Dialamo]

Initially saw "[PIT/OTT] St..." on the front page, thought it was Stone traded.

 

[BKarchitect]

Worst 4 player trade in history?

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Why would Ottawa and/or Pitt even announce these trades? These players will never be up from the farm clubs, odd...

 

[Avs71]

Stefan Elliott- the reason the Avs thought Shattenkirk was expendable.

 

[Pancakes]

It seems like the Pens traded two decent AHL players for two even shittier AHL players?

Someone explain this to me. Did Ottawa throw in some early bird special coupons for JR?

Right, I vaguely remember him!

I see Erkamps had a huge overage year in the Dub but his offense totally abandoned ship when to turned pro.

Macoy Erkamps sounds like a name that comes from a random name generator.

 

[jaric1862]

Stefan Elliott is back in the league?

Haven’t checked everyone but I assume they all have NHL deals. Sexton does at least.

 

[Negan4Coach]

Rutherford liking his group so hard

 

[Empoleon8771]

Does anyone have any idea who these guys on the Senators are? The Penguins guys are at least somewhat known as being former good prospects.

Absolutely it does.

That or ‘insert current player / legend’s first name + insert current player / legend’s last name’. Hot damn, Max Ovechkin! Can’t NOT draft him!

He's the real Macoy

His 1st goal was a GWG against your oil

 

[The Instigator]

Stefan Elliott- the reason the Avs thought Shattenkirk was expendable.

To be fair they also had Tyson Barrie coming off of a season as WHL Defenceman of the Year.

Pens clearing a roster spot in WBS for Riikola?

It's basically an AHL center being traded for an AHL RD and an AHL winger. The guy with the name that sounds like a Pokemon on Ottawa's side, Erkamps, he's apparently an ECHLer at this point, so he's probably just in there to even out the contracts.

I'm not following the AHL intently, but Logan Brown returned from injury a little while ago, and the Senators have quite a few centers in the AHL. Organizationally, we're not very deep at D, specifically at RD.

This is probably a nothing trade just meant to even out both sides AHL teams, but there is a small chance that this is the first domino to fall in something like a Cody Ceci trade, and the Senators are preparing to call up Wolanin or something so they wanted another veteran AHL defender to take his place. I wouldn't bet too much on that though, it's probably just nothing.

AHL deal nothing more

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I've heard of Lindberg and Elliot, but not the other guys. So Pittsburgh lost the trade

Ben Sexton's father Randy was one of the founders of the Ottawa Senators. He was one of the team's early General Mangers and is now an AGM in Buffalo. He played 2 NHL games last season. I won't pretend to know anything about how good he is, but given his resume, I'm guessing he's a solid AHL pro who might get a game or two in the NHL if enough injuries pile up, but doesn't have upside as a full time NHLer. The only reason his name sticks out to me as a member of our farm team is because of his family's historical connection to the Senators.
