Speculation: Stepan on the outs in Ottawa already?

[SensontheRush]

Turris is bad, but not give away a young top4 D bad haha.

I misread a news article and thought he's been sitting out the whole season, my bad.

Obviously though it would be Stepan +, just not sure what Edmonton needs, but that's probably Dmen so.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Ottawa will probably have another firesale come the deadline.

Stepan probably heads to a contender in need of depth.

Centers are always in high demand. They'll get that 2nd back, or more.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Retain 1.7m and add a 2nd in ‘22 for deangelo. Unless people are banging down the doors for Tony I don’t see him getting much more IMO

I don't understand this thinking. The Sens could have had DeAngelo for free a few days ago. Why would they be paying to take him now?

 

[HotDish]

I'll give you Minnesota top line center Victor Rask.

 

[57special]

I'll give you Minnesota top line center Victor Rask.

We can throw in 1B Center Nick Bjugstad- with the retention on him, the money will work. Buy now, two for one deal! Trade in your old, broken down Center and receive two, younger Centers! I must be crazy!

 

[DFF]

lol wtf Stepan is one of the most likable guys in the league, wonder what went wrong with the coach

Nice guy that can't play anymore. Are they still worth something?

I heard Lucic is a great dressing room guy.

This would be the equivalent of Ottawa selling a second for 3.4 million dollars. They have effectively done exactly this in the past, so wouldn't be too crazy.

I don't understand what you're saying here but Stepan only cost Ottawa $2m in real dollars this year; that's his salary.

Huh? I was answering your question about DeAngelo in reference to this proposal:

"Retain 1.7m and add a 2nd in ‘22 for deangelo. Unless people are banging down the doors for Tony I don’t see him getting much more IMO""

You said "why do this when you could have him for free?"

You would do it because you're paying the 2nd in exchange for new york retaining 1.7x2.

 

[McSuper]

Oof @ the 6.5 million. 5th for him at 80% retention.

50% retained for Chiasson and Turris

 

[NewLife]

TDA and pick for Stepan with retention

Not a bad shout tbh. Wouldn't give up a pick though. But I think the senators should stay far away from him. No way a player you want to throw in, in a already bad environment.

They wouldn't. Nobody will.

 

[McSuper]

this trade was stupid from the get-go, sens wasted a 2nd round pick

that being said, Stepan at 50% for Kyle Turris and Alex Chiasson?

turris had success in Ottawa and the oilers get out of the 2nd year of his contract. chiasson is ass but he goes back to the sens for nostalgia

I posted the same trade !

 

[President of Hockey]

Back to Rangers for Tony...

 

[McSuper]

What about something around Stepan for Turris and Bear?

I hope this is a joke ? Bear isn't available and if he was Stepan doesn't come close to starting the talks

 

[Nucker101]

He looks so slow out there

 

[2CHAINZ]

He looks so slow out there

That's cause you're watching him in 1080p. If you watch him in 4k he is really really slow.

See other post.

 

[topshelf15]

Turris will never come back to Ottawa with EM running the show come on

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

We'll trade him, Paquette and a 3rd for Eriksson, Beagle and a 2nd and spin it as getting two good vets

 

[TeamRenzo]

50% retained for Chiasson and Turris

LOL do you really think Stepan is making $6.2M this season?

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Back to Rangers for Tony...

B Smith, more likely

 

[Cogburn]

We'll trade him, Paquette and a 3rd for Eriksson, Beagle and a 2nd and spin it as getting two good vets

Can it be Roussel though? Beagles kind of playing alright lately.

Or, sarcasm aside...I'll ask about Eriksson and Gaudette as a base again...?

 

[ginner classic]

Sens have the worst pro-scouting group in the entire league.

Canucks say hi

I actually think we'd covet Beagle. We need help on faceoffs.

That said, I'd happily accept Eriksson & Gaudette as a base. Would be surprised if the Nucks would do that, though. My "serious" predictions for a trade:

1)
D. Stepan and M. Reilly/B. Coburn
for
B. Smith, C. Rowney and a 3rd/4th
2)
D. Stepan @ 50%
for
J. Beagle & 3rd/4th
3)
D. Stepan + M. Reilly/B. Coburn
for
L. Eriksson, J. Beagle, 2nd
4)
D. Stepan @ 50%, M. Reilly/B. Coburn, 4th
for
J. Demers

And honestly those might be optimistic on my end.
