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

[HoweHullOrr]

Great asset management for the Sens continue.

May as well have put Dahlen on waivers. Actually that would still have been a better move because now their stuck with paying Burrows inflated salary.

Aren't they tanking and going for Dahlen as their #1 pick this year was top ten protected? Might have misunderstood something in your post.

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

Finally someone using their head in this thread...

 

[SensFactor]

Surprised Oduya couldn't fetch a late round pick.

He's pretty brutal defensively. I don't see how a team gets better with him playing defence for you in the playoffs.

 

[traparatus]

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

Is it 1m for being a pretty nice guy and another .25m for dressing yourself every morning?

Jonathan Dahlen was a player Ottawa traded to get burrows who now got waived. Rasmus Dahlin is the #1 prospect for the 2018 draft.

 

[Alan Wake]

Making room for all the Tampa prospects?

Don't tempt me...

I kinda hope Oduya is still unclaimed by the time Tampa gets to claim.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Biggest news here is that Jim O'Brien is still alive.

Maybe his family demanded proof of life or something.

I’d like to say a big f*** you to Alex burrows. Hope you don’t weasel ur way back into the league

 

[OVO16]

I hate Alex Burrows with a Passion. I hope that dude rots in the minor leagues for the rest of his career.

f*** you

 

[UnleashRasmus]

Oduya should be claimed. He's on a fair 1 year deal. If someone needs vet presence, this is your guy.

 

[Reality Check]

Ottawa had that '91 North Stars Cinderella run last year in the playoffs and just sank like a stone this season.

Poor Mark Stone

True enough.... I'm not a leafs fan so you would know more... that being said slot of trades don't make sense

thats true.

 

[bsu]

You know the ducks are grabbing burrows.... Lol

 

[crayzy8]

Have we seen a team so poorly managed in the last 5 years? This is a complete dumpster fire.

Yes the Leafs pre-babcock years. Leaf fans forget how bad it used to be for them. Now it's our turn to get top 5 draft picks.

 

[rent free]

Thought leafs needed Lhd.... maybe it' Rhd

yah they need rhd. at lhd they're set with reilly gardiner and dermott

Ehh... I don't even know that the Leaves did something as brutal as that Duchene trade. Kessel was at least a really good player, and whether it's 2018 or 2019 that may very well be a top 3 pick.

 

[Bitz and Bites]

Man would it be hilarious if the Leafs claimed Burrows.I'd retain some of the salary myself just to see it happen.

 

[Zippgunn]

Hopefully that's the last everyone has seen of burrows in the NHL

Seconded.

 

[Noodles]

Haven't seen Oduya play lately. what's his play compared to Hunwick?

 

[TheNewEra]

is hunwick a #10 dman? because thats where oduya is

 

[megalomania]

Wouldn't be surprised to see TB go at him

And then trade him back to the Sens as part of the Karlsson trade

 

[Riptide]

Is it 1m for being a pretty nice guy and another .25m for dressing yourself every morning?

-250k for being top-5 in TOI among defensemen
-250k for being top-3 in TOI among defensemen
-250k for 41 games played
-250k for 65 games played
-250k for Qualifies for the playoffs

He wouldn't hit the top 3 in TOI anywhere, but the other 3 are pretty do-able... which means you're looking at an extra 500k / 750k hit just to have him for a while.

 

[Freudian]

Players were giving Dorion high fives after this move.

 

[joe dirte]

Wow, guess they won’t be traded then.

nobody wants these guys. they'll clear.
