Proposal: Trade Rumors and Proposals - 13/14 - XIII

[TheBradyBunch]

I really hope Murray doesn't overpay for Phillips. Borowiecki and Claesson are fine replacements for Phillips next season, and if we were to move him we'd probably get a pretty decent return.

Choosing to re-sign Phillips essentially is trading 1.5-2M in cap space (depending on how much Murray is willing to give him) and a 2nd round pick, for a minor upgrade over Boro or Claesson.

Easy decision.

5 years 9 mil (3.5, 2.0, 1.5, 1.0, 1.0)

That's the biggest deal I'd give him. If he considers 3 years a retirement contract, no more than 6mil. Ideally 5.5. Otherwise no thank you.

 

[Qward]

I would not give Phillips more than 2 years. Big Rig is starting to break down.

 

[Benjamin]

Dont need Myers.

Phillips deal better only be a 1 year.

 

[Philadelphia Collins]

If they shell out a retirement contract for Phillips, who is clearly on the decline, one year after letting their ****ing captain Alfie (who is still a top winger in the league) walk for money reasons I'm gonna lose it.

 

[Laphroaig]

Re-signing Chris Phillips would be yet another blunder in Bryan Murrays' catastrophic reign as Ottawa GM.

 

[Major Might]

Lets get Moulson and Ott for our playoff push boys!

Yeaaa!

 

[HSF]

Like I said earlier no way Ottawa deals Andy until Lehner proves himself

 

[BUCKLE UP]

Trade for Edler and Ehrhoff

Methot - Karlsson
Edler - Ehrhoff

Problem solved

There's no point in dealing him unless it's for salary purposes. Meaning, once Lehner gets a raise next year, they'll be paying two goalies a starter salary. Ditch one, and they can get a back up for 900k.

If he was still playing like Anderson of the first game of the season, and last season, I thought there might be a chance that they'd try to strike while the iron is hot and deal him somewhere with a year left on his deal. Goalies just don't get good returns unless they are elite, so it's not really worth losing him for what Ottawa would be offered at the moment.

As much as people rag on Ottawa for "trading away a Vezina candidate", they got an amazing return for Bishop. A top 5 rookie scorer a few years into his development in exchange for an UFA goalie who they would not have been able to keep. You could argue that they chose the wrong guy between Bishop and Lehner, but you couldn't argue that they got a bad return for him at the time.

Trade every UFA we've got for reclamation prospects, and trade our 2nd rounder for a defenceman.

Hopefully a game like tonight makes Murray realize this team is not a competitor and decides we should be sellers at the deadline. We could make a killing.

Michalek for 2nd + prospect
Phillips for 2nd + 5th
Condra for 2nd/3rd
Neil for 2nd + prospect
Greening for ??

Could completely re-stock our prospect pool with the market being one for sellers this year.

And with the way these guys have played, realistically we'd still have about the same chance to make the playoffs.

 

[HSF]

it is the first game back after a long break i wouldnt read a whole lot into it.

i am sure even lehner is a bit rusty. It is where they go from here that is key

My only fear with this is that most of these moves would make us worse in both the short and long term. Condra isn't amazing, but he's better than the average 3rd round pick. Same with several others on that list.

Ugh, this year is the WORST to be a seller. This draft is such crap.

Chances of getting good players outside the 1st round this year are far slimmer than in other draft classes... I'd be pushing to get 2015 picks, if possible.

2014 draft is going to be the worst since the 2000 draft, mark my words. A couple of star(ish) players at the top, some complimentary players in the rest of the 1st round, and almost zero depth thereafter.

 

[HSF]

why the hell would you want draft picks? get nhl players like a Stewart/ott/moulson which is a great step in the right direction

Agree 100%. Teams horribly over-rate picks and prospects. I'd rather trade our 2nd for an actual player.

 

[SixthSens]

I wonder if we could get Florida to swap Cowen for Kulikov...

Its about getting rid of the scrubs. Not about getting the picks.

Exactly. Players like Hoffman, Stone, Pageau, Grant, Da Costa can easily replace Michalek, Greening, Condra.

Giving those players opportunities + adding draft picks/prospects > keeping the deadweight on this team

This team has one of the best scouting staffs in the league. I have no doubt they could find NHLers even in a weak draft.

We could also ask for 2015 picks if we don't think we could find some gems in this one.

let's hope Florida's scouts haven't seen an Ottawa game since 2012

Exactly. Picks and/or prospects are what you're getting from deadline buyers.

u arent getting picks without taking a scrub back

Everyone said Ceci's draft was bad but go back and look at players now.

I think we need to get a first somehow.

Ya we made the playoffs on the backs of a lot of young guys last year, dont see why we couldn't do it again.
