I agree it's far-fetched at best. My first proposal was trading for Zach Redmond (another right shooting d-man for the Jets). I actually think he'd be perfect for the Sens, but same logic goes with that proposal.... would the Jets actually do this? Probably not. Also no one responded when I suggested Redmond the first time (I suggested something like Hoffman and a pick for him)... possibly because no one knows about him? He's young and largely unproven but so far his numbers are good and it seems to me like Winnipeg is the ideal trading partner for Ottawa right now, as they have many right handed d and we have many inexpensive forward prospects. Possible win-win for both.

I don't think anyone believes that Zibanejad has #1 C potential.
Meanwhile I think Bogosian has a realistic shot at becoming a #1 D.

Naturally I think we should get Redmond just so I can wear my own name on my own team's jersey hahaha
In all seriousness, don't know much about him, but his scouting report is promising. One has to wonder why Winnipeg would trade away a young PMD though, and what it'd take to acquire him.

First, I don't get why BM wants a defenceman when he has 8 defencemen in Ottawa. Why the hell did he sign Corvo? He doesn't play him & he is taking up money that could have been used for something else. They are rotating guys in & out of the lineup not so much because of the way they are playing but to give them some ice time. Why have they not sent someone to Bingo yet? Conacher & Gryba could have both been sent to Bingo & IMO Conacher should have been sent down a while ago & that would have saved them some cash.
Second, Greening isn't paid to score goals, he is a defensive forward who is paid to stop goals & is doing a decent job defensively plus he leads the team in hits. Why do so many want Greening out but say nothing against Conacher who was brought in to score goals but isn't? I don't see Conacher on the PK, I do see Greening though. I don't see Conacher on the ice when they want to preserve a one goal lead, I see Greening though. Greening is bigger, tougher, better defensively & not a liability on the ice the way Conacher is & neither is scoring goals, Greening is the better player. Condra isn't scoring either & Greening does everything Condra does plus he hits & can fight yet no one says anything about Condra. Get rid of those two, not Greening.

Hmmm, this is definitely interesting. Ya'll know I love Zibanejad but Bogosian could be special in his respective position as well. Also fills very dire need that could be here longterm.
I don't know. In terms of value I'd do it.
However with Spezza's uncertainty and such, it will depend on how highly Ottawa thinks of Lazar, Cowen and Spezza's future with this team.
Bogosian-Karlsson
Methot-Wiercioch
That looks pretty sick. But then we got Cowen. I guess if Cowen develops then we'll be able to trade him for a Zibanejad like player back if we need that.
We also got Ceci in the wings.
It's interesting for sure.

or it indicates a potential trade
thats way too optimistic at this stage
also per dreger (not the best source)
ottawa offered up condra+gryba+greening for del zotto but rangers said no

Dreger just tweeted that Gryba, Greening and Condra were offered for Del Zotto. Would have been awesome.

He's about as good a source as you're going to get, at least on non-Leafs items.

thing is though, his extension was based off of his offensive production as well, for a 4th liner greening is doing good but not what we signed him for in terms of an extension, and for a team on a budget thats what makes it worse.
fact is that when your getting out scored by erik condra, there is a problem especially if you are making that much money as soon as next season
Shows how they value our guys. That said taking on 3 NHL contracts at once while only losing one would be hard for any team. The players they receive would have to be equal or hopefully better than the guys they would be dropping from their active roster. For the Sens it would really open things up for some of the Bingo prospects but it's hard to see how it would benefit the Rangers.
This is the tweet,
Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger 18m
No match between Sens and NYR on Del Zotto. Told Ott made Gryba, Greening and Condra available. Fit wasn't right for NYR.
Doesn't mean all 3. To me, it means that NYR could made a deal around the players, depending on need. available is not the same as +++
That makes much more sense but I'm surprised the Rangers didn't bite on Greening by himself plus possibly ask for another piece. Greening could be a strong 3rd liner for them but his big contract extension may be the real problem here considering his role.

I was just gonna say, this is the vintage HF "quality for quantity" trade that we all love so much
Del Zotto would have been cool to have

Not to mention his contract is close to $3mil and every move Murray makes has to have money going out
