very low. nobody wants RyanSo..what's the odds of Ryan being swapped for Perreault ($retained by Sens)... gives us a C to replace Duchene
very low. nobody wants Ryan
maybe if the Sens ate 2 or 3 million, but i still dont see teams giving up much value for him.If Sens ate 2 or 3 million then Ryan becomes a desirable asset. He'd get at least 4.5 on the open market. Teams saw what be did in the playoffs and 50 point guys don't grow on trees.

Last year's stats? Some 27yo named Logan has 20G this year...otherwise..?

If either Stone or Duchene go to Nashville, I think we could pry away one of Tolvanen or Fabbro, get a 1st and forgo a roster player.
After Boyle got a 2nd, Dzingle can get us a first.
There are less than 10 stanley cup contenders & half of them don't have their 2019 1st.
With Panarin, Stone, Duchene, Hamilton, Huberdeau, Schenn, Hayes, Kreider, Ferland, Silfverberg, Simmonds, Faulk, E.Staal, Edler, etc .... no one is giving up a 1st for Dzingel.
Does it make more sense to target 1sts for next year (not just for Dzingel, but all of them). I seem to recall people saying that 2020 is supposed to be a better draft year, and hell there is a chance we can grab what ends up being a lotto pick instead of what will almost certainly be 16 or later. It isn't like we aren't going to be terrible next year so why not kick the can down the road a year?
Laine isn't moving lolDo you think they’d do Laine for stone+
Because I think they’d be dumb not to

Jets fan in peace...
Not sure why Dorion would want to extend any of the UFAs. I think you should be building around Chabot/Tkachuk ( who are too sweet!) and adding 5-8 picks/prospects around their age would go a long way to making the Sens elite in 4-5 years.
In addition to @GrantLemons point above, a lot of it has to do with optics. The organization has been bleeding talent. If they cut loose Duchene, Stone AND Dzingel, what does that say about the team's ability to spend, its desire to win or its understanding of the fanbase's issues with the team as a whole? It cuts much deeper than just "smart hockey decision" because the organization hasn't shown much ability to make those smart decisions in recent years. In a vacuum, I'd see your point. But given the state of the franchise, letting all three go will do a lot toward further alienating an already alienated fanbase. If they won't spend to retain Stone, for example – arguably a top right winger in the league with ridiculous work ethic, at an age where he'll still be effective once the rebuild is complete, what does that say about the team's ability to retain talent when Chabot or Tkachuk's ELCs come due?making the Sens elite in 4-5 years.
WTH ???You are joking??I actually would not mind losing Tkachuk, he is way too physical/blabby for my taste. It wouldn't look great though, he's actually a fine building block.
We need to keep Stone though, let the gloryseeker Duchene go elsewhere.
I wonder if Dorion has any self reflection on this. Like how its his job to evaluate where his team is at and the gamble he took that Duchene would want to stay after deciding to take the team way out of any kind of playoff contention

The Sens had already decided they weren’t going to give Turris $7x6 to stay in Ottawa. Turris is hardly worth a second.
Pop quiz, "monkey's paw" style.
Would you rather:
a) sign Ceci to a 3-year $4.75 mil contract and trade Boro for a 4th rounder, or
b) sign Boro to a 3 year $2.75 mil extension and make him the assistant captain, and trade Ceci for a 2nd.
Samuel Girard, prospect Vladislav Kamenev and a 2018 second-round draft pick last year.The Sens had already decided they weren’t going to give Turris $7x6 to stay in Ottawa. Turris is hardly worth a second.
