Waived: Senators waive Alex Burrows, Johnny Oduya and Jim O'brien

[stampedingviking]

Canucks should be all over Burrows. Trade Vanek and another forward. Pickup Burrows.

No, no, no.

 

[Not Jared Cowen]

But what about the hugs, Pierre? What about the hugs?!?

 

[GKJ]

Canucks should be all over Burrows. Trade Vanek and another forward. Pickup Burrows.

Depends if they want that number for next year, because he's pretty close to finished at an NHL player if he isn't already

 

[Cassano]

Dahlen

 

[Avs44]

Uhh, doesn't this mean they're clearing space for the incoming players from a Karlsson trade?

Or they aren't trading Karlsson, and are hoping that someone picks one of these chumps off of waivers so they can clear salary anyways. Maybe want to give kids some extra time to finish the year. Could be a bunch of explanations

 

[Mr Positive]

kind of smart. If any clear waivers, they would be much more tradeable. A team can keep them on their AHL team, and call them up during the playoffs in case of injury.

 

[The Great Weal]

So Dahlen for nothing. Good job.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

So Ottawa basically traded Dahlén for a season of Burrows? Wow!

Better than two seasons.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Burrows is still suspended for one more game though--

 

[Cancuks]

 

[LeafGrief]

Players are often traded after passing through waivers. The acquiring team may want Oduya for their minor league team. Burrows is done and everyone claps for joy!

 

[Jee]

Making room because Karlsson is getting traded

 

[57special]

be still, my beating heart

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

I bet they could've got a late pick for Oduya but Melnyk wouldn't retain salary, even though it would only be like 100-200k at this point

I am happy I am not a Sens fan. 1 year ago your a buyer, make the East finals. Start of this year your make a weird trade to acquire Duchene and not extend Turris for same salary as Duchene....

Then owner complains about arena, team stumbles and now you are going to trade your captain and start tearing down the team.

What a roller coaster of a calendar season in the nations capital I tell ya!!

 

[Filthy Dangles]

I guess oduya is that bad at this point.

Obviously no one wants shitbag burrows.

 

[Riptide]

Both are finished at this level, although you'd think someone would give atleast a 7th for Oduya as a 6/7.

Would have to be someone with cap space, as he has 1.25m worth of performance bonuses scheduled for this season...

 

[Newsworthy]

Brandon Davidson returned a 2019 third

This is coming from a coyotes fan? Lol no team comes close to Arizona in terms of sad franchises. You guys got bailed out by the NHL how many times now?

 

[BlueBaron]

Hoping to save a few bucks I guess.

 

[Curufinwe]

Oh my.

Dahlen.

 

[sxvnert]

If the Canucks were ******* smart: they would trade Vanek, Hutton/Edler, and a *** ton more people, and just fill the spots with waiver fodder and prospects while picking up assets. Like holy **** rebuilding the right way isn’t difficult.

It is when you're trying to fool the fan base into believing "rebuilding on the fly" actually works.

 

[TOGuy14]

Senators are aiming for that comfortable salary cap floor quickly I see

 

[Davegarri]

I hope burrows never plays in the NHL again. f*** that guy.

The tank race is heating up!!

 

[Liferleafer]

Making room for all the Tampa prospects?
