[Que]

Mikkel Boedker - Stays put (not re-signed after the season)
Vladislav Namestnikov - Re-signs with Ottawa, 1 year, 3.75 Million
JG Pageau - Traded to Edmonton
Chris Tierney - Re-signs with Ottawa, 1 year, 3.25 Million
Connor Brown - Re-signs with Ottawa 3 years, 2.65 Million Per
Anthony Duclair - Re-signs with Ottawa 2 years, 5 Million per
Tyler Ennis - Re-signs with Ottawa, 2 years, 2 Million per
Nick Paul - Re-signs with Ottawa 2 years, 1.75 Million per
Scott Sabourin - Stays put (Re-signed to 1 year AHL contract)

Ron Hainsey - Re-signs with Ottawa, 1 year, 3.75 Million contract
Mark Borowiecki - Traded to Florida
Dylan Demelo - Ttaded to Carolina
Cody Gouloubef - Stays put (not re-signed after the season)

Craig Anderson - Traded to Florida


DeMelo to Carolina for a 2nd

Pageau to Edmonton for Manning, Puljujarvi, 2nd ‘21

Anderson (50% retained) and Boroweici to Florida for Pysyk, 3rd in ‘21 that becomes a 2nd if they advance past the first round.

So we’d end up with two expiring contracts, three additional 2nd’s, and Puljujarvi for virtually nothing as everyone will leave via UFA or in Andy’s case - retire.

To add to the OP...

- Anthony Duclair 4.25M x 4 years
Comparables: Gustav Nyqvist, Kyle Palmieri, Mike Hoffman, Chris Kreider, Ryan Dzingel, Michael Grabner, Mikkel Boedker (pre-Ottawa)

- Connor Brown 3.75M x 5 years
Comparables: Bryan Rust, Jakob Silfverberg, Michael Frolik, Joonas Donskoi, Brett Connolly, Brandon Tanev

- Dylan Demelo 3.25M x 4 years
Comparables: Jason Demers, David Savard, Michal Kempny, Nick Jensen, Michael Stone, Greg Pateryn

- Nick Paul 1.5M x 2yrs
Comparables: Zach Sanford, Lawson Crouse, Zach Aston-Reese, Tyler Bertuzzi

- Filip Chlapik 1.5M x 2yrs
Comparables: Mark Jankowski, Joel Eriksson-Ek, Ivan Barbashev, Jason Dickinson, Zemgus Girgensons

- Christian Jaros 1M x 2yrs
Comparables: Dylan Demelo, Colin Miller (previous contract), Juuso Riikola, Mackenzie Weegar, Josh Brown

Fowards (including Gaborik): 38.5M
Defense: 20M
Goalies: 3.3M
Total team cap hit: 61.8M - Which is comfortably above the cap floor. Ample room to take on bad contracts for the right price or stay put.


By next season, Bobby Ryan, Artem Anisimov, C. Brown, Brady Tkachuk, Anthony Duclair, Colin White, Nick Paul, Filip Chlapik, Nikita Zaitsev, Dylan Demelo, Thomas Chabot, Mike Reilly, Christian Wolanin, Anders Nilsson will all have played 3+ years in the NHL.

Vets don't have to be has-been's. If Sens execs have learned anything about foresight and budget management, they'll focus on signing their own talent instead of chasing character and locker room presence.

That's how they ended up paying Smith/Anisimov + Zaitsev/Ceci + Namestnikov + Hainsey more than Mark Stone. Nevermind bringing in Boedker instead of flipping Hoffman for picks...

Sure, but not sure why you felt it was necessary to point out the "has been" angle as I didn't say anything about that.

Your own list contains Anisimov, Connor Brown, Duclair, & Demelo who were vets that were free agent or trade acquisitions.

The Senators are rebuilding and will focus on developing its young talent that it has drafted. That will be the primary method, and there's no argument from me whatsoever on this subject. But, they will also need to fill out the roster and add some vets, so a few viable vets will either be resigned or added & sprinkled into the roster. Its what all teams do.

No way we give Names $3.75 and go cheap on Brown/Ennis. I also think the notion that Pulj will play for $700G is a reach. He can make more in Europe.

 

[MatchesMalone]

Signing Pageau, Connor Brown and DeMelo should be top priority. Brown is RFA so I'm not too worried there.

There are a lot of variables with those three though. The main thing is getting them signed short term to lead the transition. All three could also be useful pieces long term, i.e. could fill roles when we're competing again, so signing them long term would be ideal. But assuming they want to get paid for the roles they're playing now, that makes things trickier. If a reasonable de can't be worked out for Pageau and DeMelo, at least their trade value is at its peak.

The rest of the pending free agents, I don't care too much. If we can't sign Pageau then we should sign Tierney, but only for one or two years. Likewise, if we can't sign DeMelo, then we should at least sign Boro.

Namestnikov and Duclair, I don't really care. If we can get good returns for them, trade them, otherwise don't. But if we do trade them, we need other NHL bodies. It's just that guys like those two are kinda perfect for our situation, because you don't want players that are good enough to keep Batherson, Balcers, etc. down the lineup, but you want to create healthy competition and not just hand spots to rookies - you want players that they can outperform and move past on the depth chart over the course of the season.

If we can get anything for Hainsey, Ennis, Anderson, great. If not they go to UFA, no big deal. Depending what happens with a bunch of the other pending forwards, it might make sense to re-sign Ennis. There is no scenario where we should re-sign Anderson or Hainsey.

Would be nice if we could trade Zaitsev and Anisimov somehow, but this is supposed to be a wishlist, not a prayer circle, and that would be a miracle.

 

[bert]

Wish list with some form of reality. For example no one is taking Anisimov, Boedker or Zaitsev.

Pageau traded for 1st 2020 + warm body on expring deal
Ennis traded for 3rd 2021
Namestinikov traded for 4th 2020
Tierney traded for Puljujarvi + 4th 2022 + warm body on 1 or 2 year deal to match salary
Demelo traded for 2nd 2021 3rd 2022
Hainsey traded for 5th 2020
Anderson traded for 4th 2020 50% retention

Borowiecki extended 3 years 4.5 million
Duclair extended 3 years 9 million
Brown extended 5 years 14.5 million

Anisimov plays out the year hopefully can move him for something at the next deadline.
Sabourin, Boedker play out the season and walk at years end.

This would be my most ideal trade deadline but I am not holding my breath.

 

[guyzeur]

I'm not going into naming players, I believe Dorion to draft and trade the right players.

My wishes:
2020/21 drafts, add a 1 st a 2nd & a 3rd
Add/develop a partner to Chabot like a Methot. Add/develop a top 2 defense - I prefer that our best 2 defenseman are not playing together.

The forward pool will be ok after the 2020 draft. I believe we're fine with the goaltenders.

Clean up the dead wood, restructure the salaries appropriately. Best players get most money.

And that Melnyk's plan doesn't change. We need another two years to develop our prospects.

Note:
Add a couple of big and strong players to please Aragorn

 

[Imnotagoodposter]

Keep Demelo and Pageau. Hainsey wont fetch anything, maybe a conditional seventh. Keep Duclair.
Ship out Namestnikov, Tierny, Ennis, Anderson.
Keep boro if he’s happy with 2 million.
You need good vets and leadership.

No one’s touching Anisimov, Zaitsev, or whoever ‘Boedker’ is

 

[Upgrayedd]

I hope Dorion starts dismantling this roster via trade ASAP, i mean we are already terrible but it's time to go hard to the hole so to speak, trade anything not nailed down for picks and worse warm bodies, send anything possible down to Belleville asap, see what Scott Gomez and others are up to and finish the season no higher than 30th.

[Puikiou]

''The time is nigh''

 

[Ouroboros]

Vlad Namestnikov - to Colorado for a 3rd in 2021 and Calle Rosen
Tyler Ennis - to Edmonton for a 4th in 2020
Ron Hainsey - to Vancouver for a 6th in 2021

Mikkel Boedker - waived today and unclaimed. Plays out the string in Ottawa

Craig Anderson - not traded

JG Pageau - Kept past the deadline with no extension in place. Walks on July 1st.

 

[TkachukNorris79]

Pageau+Namestnikov to Colorado for Jost+ Cond. 2021 2nd (1st if WCF or JGP signs)+Barberio

Tierney+Ennis to Edmonton for Puljujärvi+2020 2nd+Gagner

Anderson to FLA for a 4th+warm body

Hainsey to CAR for a 3rd

Finish the season with a great tank lineup of:

Tkachuk-Norris-Batherson
Duclair-Jost-Brown
Paul-White-Ryan
Hawrluck-Anisimov-Sabourin

Chabot (if healthy) - Zaitsev
Reilly-Hainsey
Barberio-Jaros

Unfortunately I don't see this all happening in a day

Interesting use of our 1C UFA signing ....

 

[Hale The Villain]

My predictions:

Pageau for a B prospect and a conditional 1st (probably if the team reaches the conference finals, making the pick 28-31), otherwise it would be a 2nd

Eg. Ratcliffe + pick from PHI, Puljujarvi + pick from EDM, Jost +pick from COL, Bellows + pick from NYI

Ennis and Namestnikov probably return a 3rd/4th each

 

[Xspyrit]

Pageau+Namestnikov to Colorado for Jost+ Cond. 2021 2nd (1st if WCF or JGP signs)+Barberio

Hawrluck-Anisimov-Sabourin

Chabot (if healthy) - Zaitsev
Reilly-Hainsey
Barberio-Jaros

That's not a great tank line-up, Norris and Batherson have to be in the AHL, can't afford them to break out now.

At least, Sabu is still there to make us look ridiculous and the defense is very thin after Chabot. A borderline #4 (Z) and a few bottom pairing D-men (and Hainsey who should be playing his last season)
