Confirmed with Link: Trade: Namestnikov for a 2021 4th round pick and Ebert

[bert]

Why is a rebuilding team giving away draft picks for bottom 6 forwards my god man why do they make it so hard to like this team.

What a joke, 0 direction on any level.

 

[Senscore]

Eh. Low stakes move.

 

[Silencio]

Great timing to announce this trade while everyone else in Ottawa is distracted with the debate.

On the plus side (?), can't remember the last time Ottawa had this many Russian players on their roster.

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

Ebert +2021 4th with 750k retained

"Should" be able to get that back at the minimum at the deadline

Boom...
Senators' Chabot absolutely rocks Namestnikov at center ice - Sportsnet.ca

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

You fools thought he'd take advantage of Pittsburgh's centre injuries.

 

[starling]

So what can you guys tell us New YAWKERS about New Jersey native Nick Ebert?

He played a whopping 1 game for the organization. In AHL. He was probably our best D in that game. That doesn't say much though.

 

[bert]

I don’t see a downside here. They can easily get that pick back for him if they wanted to

Why do you think that? Why are they trading any future assets? They are the worst team in the league by far. They are rebuilding.

Like other posters have said they are making it impossible to like this team.

They should be the team trading players for picks not vise versa.

 

[sens13]

lol. wouldn't take a 1st to buy marleau out but ok with paying this guy 3.25? how does this make any sense?

Sounds like a regular Chris Philipps

it’s a 4th in 2021 and he will return close to that later in the year if we don’t re-sign him

 

[OD99]

Is he any good on the draw?

What is the long term goal here? So we bring up Abramov and now add Namestnikov as another C/W I guess meaning we keep all the other kids in Bingo all year?

 

[Silencio]

I'm guessing one of Tierney or Pageau is getting moved soon.

 

[BigRig4]

He's a good 3LW/3C and only 26. For a 4th rounder, that's a good deal.

We have like a million picks and will be getting more when we ship players out later. expect more pick for player swaps.

 

[Engineer]

The only thing that makes even the smallest amount of sense is they think he will improve his stats playing top 6, then be worth more than a 4th at the deadline

 

[Chabottawa72]

Let the tank commence

 

[danielpalfredsson]

You fools thought he'd take advantage of Pittsburgh's centre injuries.

I feel like we're moving someone out and that created an opportunity to take on the Namestnikov salary.

There'll be another trade before the next game.

It makes no sense that we don't pounce on getting a 2020 1st for Marleau, but we spend similar salary on a middle 6er who might be a rental.

I think we're close on moving out a Pageau or a Tierney, and that has freed up the salary to pull the trigger on acquiring Namestnikov. We've probably known that Namestnikov has been available for a while.

 

[Six Assets]

interesting

 

[Matsens15]

In my opinion this is a solid deal by dorion. Get a 26 year old 3rd line center for a 2021 4th round pick and a AHL defensemen. Plus the rangers retain 750k on Namestnikov salary. This will make him even easier to move at the deadline for a 2nd round pick. Solid deal by Dorion!

They need players for next year, I’m not saying I know much about Namestnikov but seems like a guy you can re sign or, worst case scenario, flip him again for a fourth. I don’t see why he wouldn’t get a fourth at the deadline. He’s one year removed from a 44 point year and is only 26.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Namestnikov Anisimov Abramov

The Ov line

 

[starling]

Anisimov, Abramov, Namestnikov what's going on? Are we suddenly becoming The Russian team of NHL?

Nobody will pay a 2nd for a guy like Namestikov at the deadline. Not sure many/any playoff teams would be looking at a guy like him

He cant even make the rangers. Pierre Dorion needs to stop helping other teams out.

He is 2 years removed from scoring 44 points playing with Kucherov and Stamkos. It makes no f***ing sense.

I disagree he’s a good 2 way center and at deadline price always go up because teams want to add depth.
