Rumor: Trade Rumors/Proposals/Free Agents 2017-2018

[Micklebot]

Well that was shocking...

 

[Liver King]

soooooo....wtf

 

[Senscore]

I'm actually pretty relieved it was a quiet evening.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Karlsson is still with Ottawa.

Another positive step.

 

[Super Cake]

If we didn’t have to dump that 2nd round pick to NYR for brassard it could’ve been used to outbid NYI for Grubauer. Lmfao
Assuming anyone would take Andy or Condon tho

I think you are forgetting that the Sens would also have to take on Orpiks contract.

No way would Melnyk take on Orpiks contract without getting rid of one of our other terrible contracts first.

 

[SensFactor]

I'm pretty sure Dorion will make Karlsson an offer and if he declines he's gone.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Karlsson is still with Ottawa.

Another positive step.

Over the summer he lost that puck he grabbed out of the net so he may stick around until the trade deadline now.

 

[Icelevel]

Yeahhhh... that's not happening.

it happened

 

[Ouroboros]

Sounds like the Caps are about to lock up John Carlson. That could increase the interest in EK.

 

[Langdon Alger]

I heard that Randy Lee has requested a trade.

Problem is no one wants him.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Problem is no one wants him.

Gotta be really good at what you do before everyone's willing to ignore your terrible behavior.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Andy to Philly or NYI makes some sense I think. I don’t want Greiss unless we can also ditch Condon and Greiss is the backup. I wouldn’t mind Mrazek on a one year deal if it’s cheap. A prove yourself kind of deal.

If we deal Andy to Philly we could get Mrazek’s rights and maybe a pick or a prospect. I’m sure Philly could trade Neuvirth or Elliott to a team looking for a backup.

 

[Masked]

Problem is no one wants him.

Except the authorities....

Or, you know, we can just do what Washington is going to do and extend our own Karlsson.

 

[Boud]

Except the authorities....

Badum tssss

 

[Daffy]

it happened

EK re-signed?

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

I thought it would be quiet tonight for the Sens, but i think we see one deal tomorrow sending a bit more salary out the door. Smith or Anderson is my guess.

Im starting to get the feeling we're getting trolled along by the media and that Karlsson and Duchene both sign day one of FA with an attempted youth movement around them.

Yeah, I think Smith could move tomorrow. Andy I think will move in July if he does move. I think teams in the market for a goalie will explore the free agent market and trade possibilities before looking at Andy. Never know though. I hope we get something to talk about tomorrow.

I guess its up to his agent a bit from the sound of it. Whenever they talk about an agent seeking out other opportunities i assume its cuz the gm either couldnt find a taker after trying or just threw up his hands and said go ahead, good luck with that, have fun telling your client nobody wants him.

If he just had the one year left, id say he would be easy to move based on his resume. With that extra year though its gonna be tough, but i think they do at least try.

Yup, and how many teams need a starter? Probably not too many. It will be a challenge to move him.

Not very many unfortunately. Whats the count at?

NYI
Philly

Anybody else?

Buffalo? Carolina? Small market for sure.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Ya not lookin good is it.

Canucks maybe? A vet as they start to move towards competing?

 

[Ouroboros]

Given Anderson's age, contract, and play last season I think there is a pretty decent chance that he'll have to come back to Ottawa and show people that he can still make saves if he wants a chance to move on. I'm not too thrilled about the idea of moving him for some other problem contract [Moulson, Hossa, etc.] and then having to go and somehow find another goalie - the UFA goalie market seems to be complete garbage. Unless the Sens just want him out of the room immediately I'm not sure this will happen any time soon, or at all.

Zack Smith could maybe go tomorrow if the Sens are willing to just punt him off for a 5th or something. I'm just not sure how motivated they are to dump him, and, honestly, I'm skeptical about the level of interest in him as well. Similar players will come much cheaper as UFA's, and you can begin talking to them in a few more days.

Probably going to be a quiet day.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Karlsson re-signing is next.

We got rid of Hoffman ASAP. And now we drafted a guy who’s gonna make EK’s, and rest of the team’s job, easier.

Can’t wait.
