No. And why does it need to be within a year?
How are the Sens gonna bring in more talent? eh?
Tell me how that's gonna happen.
A high draft pick is the best bet.
Anderson = half the team
right
I'm referencing the 100 different trade proposals that have popped up in the last 48 hours. My point stands: that trade is awful and that shouldn't be too hard to see. I'd be shocked if more than 2% of Sens fans liked that deal.
Keep both for this year
If Lehner proves he's a #1, trade Anderson at the draft for a top 6 forward/top 4 defenseman, or a 1st round pick
We've concluded a trade with the Oil
Anderson
Smith
Gryba
for
1st rounder in 2014
conditional 2nd rounder in 2015 (if the 1st is not a top 8)
Dubnyk at $2M
Martin Gernat
Done
That's a terrible trade for us. The reason we gave up Silfverberg, Noeson, and our 1st rounder this year was so we could have a better chance at winning now. We don't want any picks or prospects. We need a top 4 defensemen and some scoring help in the top 9. 2 players from the Oilers we would value are Petry and Hemsky.
To Edmonton
Craig Anderson 3.18mill
Zack Smith 1.88mill
Eric Gryba .56
Total$ 5.62mill
To Ottawa
Jeff Petry 1.75mill
Luke Gazdic .63
Jason Labarbera 1.00mill
Ales Hemsky(with 2.5 mill held back) 2.5 mill
Total$ 5.88mill
That's my trade prospal
Why the **** would we want dubnyk? He is terrible.
And what makes you think Edmonton will accept that. Trades go both ways
i prefer the first one. although i havent really seen petry play.
Well go on over to the Edmonton board and ask how desperate they are for a goalie. If they haven't realized Dubynk isn't a number 1 goalie. How far are they going to slip before MacT makes a move. Right now they are on pace for a 5-15-5 start to the season. Do they want to let all of this unfold and just hope for the best or are they going to address the issue before it gets out of hand? Edmonton won't like the overall trade but they are getting the best player in this trade BY FAR. Anderson is a proven starting goalie that can steal games and when he is playing his best he is almost as good as Lundqvist. Outplayed Price last year. Ottawa fans know he can face 30+ shots night in and night out and keep you in the game. Last time i checked that is exactly what Anderson needs. Not to mention this trade also helps with with there current problem at C well Ganger is injured and help them when he gets back too unless they like Will Acton as there 3rd line C. Smith is someone they have been looking for. A center with toughness that can play 3rd or 4th line and isn't afraid to drop the gloves.
The thing that makes Petry better for us is that his cap hit is only 1.75 and he is still an RFA. N.Schultz and Smid are both in the 3 mill range and are both UFA's. Not to mention Petry is playing 20+minutes a night well Smid and N.Schultz are playing 18 and 15. Petry is also a right handed shot so he can pair up with Cowen. Overall Petry makes the most sense for us.
They don't wanna give up Petry
They don't wanna give up Petry
Petry is also terrible, much rather the first one. I want at least a 1st rounder coming back for Anderson. Petry is only playing so much because hes on the Oilers.
Petry over Anderson i guess. Who needs a starting goalie when you have a good 3-4 defensmen. They should realize what there priorities are. Considering they are willing to give up prospects and picks i would suggest after they trade away Petry in this trade they could easily get a player of his skill or better with the assets they have to trade.
