Confirmed with Link: Senators acquire Mike Amadio from LA for Christian Wolanin

[topshelf15]

Or 2 NCAA defenders.........

And a certain forward???I like your thinking...lol

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Best for both parties I think.

Getting rid of a serviceable dman is not best for the org.

Good for Wolanin though.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Nice pickup for Belleville at the very least.

 

[Alf Silfversson]

Meh. I was never a huge fan of Wolanin but I still would have given him more rope than the Sens did. It was clear, however, that that wasn't going to happen here.

Amadio is at least a very good AHL center that we can play with Abramov and/or Sokolov to help them for the rest of this year.

All the best to Wolanin. Hopefully he can resurrect his career elsewhere.

I was a big fan of Wolanin, but he had digressed badly - I assume because of the injury. Add to that that he's a pending UFA and that's all she wrote.

 

[Korpse]

This gives us another forward to expose in the expansion draft I guess.

Opens up the door to protect Tierney or Watson.

Or a prospect like Abramov if they really value him and think he'd get taken.

Or it could mean that a Tierney trade is in the works, the more I think about it.

Wolanin played in the season opener, Reilly didn't. Strange to suggest Reilly was given an opportunity that Wolanin wasn't. Reilly played better and stayed in the line up, it's a simple as that.

Exactly. Wolanin was given the inside track even though Reilly had the more extensive career. Wolanin played poorly, so Reilly came in. Now today, Reilly is playing way better than Wolanin.

My choice TBH,a tough ,team first winger that can play a good role

Who is this serviceable D you mention ?

 

[Sweatred]

Maybe a move to make room for NCAA defender???One can hope

or two ?

 

[SENATOR]

White has to get ready for this as well very soon.

 

[swiftwin]

Good for Wolanin. Hopefully he will get a better shot in LA.

One thing is clear with the Veronneau, Lajoie, Jaros, Chlapik and now Wolanin moves is that it's clear we care about these players and are trying to give them opportunities elsewhere. Other players take note of that when it comes time to sign free agents. Players know they won't get f***ed over if they come to Ottawa.

 

[topshelf15]

Tierney may also be moved,as I dont think the club wants to lose either Watson or Brown

Are you talking about Logan or Connor Brown?

 

[topshelf15]

Are you talking about Logan or Connor Brown?

Connor,both are great in their roles...And provide some actual good veteran players

 

[BondraTime]

No loss for the Sens, Wolanin wasn’t in the plans.

Hopefully Wolanin gets a fair shake in LA.

 

[Alf Silfversson]

There is zero chance that Connor Brown will be exposed, IMO. Unless there are a series of huge trades he'll be protected. Watson probably will be protected but I can't see us exposing Connor Brown. Very good player on a reasonable contract.

 

[Yak]

Wolanin was not part of the future and Sens knew that and with his UFA status and age it was time to let him go and try and shine somewhere else. He was on waivers and could have been picked up for nothing says a lot what the other teams interest in him was.

Thats good news ,and Watson has some good vibes as well 1.5 mil for a fast tough team first player...I dont want us to lose him

I'm not sure I'd call him fast (LOL) but Watson has done his job well. I feel like he's the kind of player you replace with an ELC, if need be, but I'd be fine keeping him.

I think we'll lose either Abramov or one of our young goalies (Daccord or Gus). I don't think Watson would be selected even if he was exposed. I think that Seattle will go for either:

A) Young players who could still be around when they become competitive,

or

B) Players who will have value at the 2022 TDL.

No you are likely right.but Watson is that kinda enforcer type that can actually play a decent role...But for sure if something better comes along then Iam sure we could move him

Considering they just played a game with 9 F and 7 D. This is also a strange argument.

When reilly did play at the start of the year he was just as bad if not worse than wolanin. It was a nightmare. Out of reilly brann and Wolanin I think all could have games like reilly has had if played into the ground.


It wasn’t an argument? Oh you think the argument was Belleville *literally* has no Defesneman.?
