A value of 2nd + 4th for a winger = trading all our picks

Really there's no excuse that the following lineup can't compete in the playoffs:
Greening/Sepzza/Michalek
Lats/Turris/Alfie
Cowen/Gonchar
Methot/Phillips
Anderson
Vaclav Varada
CoJo

hyperbole, but you get the point. This isn't the year
Sure, in a year when the Sens can actually win the Cup. Otherwise its a waste.
?
Qward
Because! That's why!
When we are going up against
Kunitz - Crosby - Iginla
Morrow - Malkin - Neal
Lucic - Krejci - Horton
Seguin - Bergeron - Jagr
Nash - Richards - Kreider
Clowe - Stepan - Gaborik
We need to step up our game
it doesn't matter?
what?
You must play the lottery, honestly look at how many 2nd round picks haven't panned out and you dont wanna risk one for the slight chance that you might draft a Silfverberg or a Lehner? in that case lets trade spezza for a 6th and hope for an Alfie

I don't think there's such a thing easily. Many teams peg themselves as contenders in a year but fail to even make the playoffs. Us being in a playoffs position should not be taken for granted.

This isn't the year, but with some assets it is the time. Some assets need to be move now - so you act (Bishop). And other assets may only be available now (Glencross). Time to make a move to help the team for the rest of the season and next year. Not a run at the cup sell the farm move, but a good move that makes sense. A Bishop for Glencross type of deal this year makes perfect sense.
We will see what happens... but I think BM sees the value like I do... he`s made moves in the past when the Sens were playoff bound for rentals.
Think we will see it again tomorrow

The way the Sens are going there's much more than a slight chance that pick becomes a player.
No, I don't wanna take that chance just so the Bruins can beat the Sens in 6 instead of 5.
There's no such thing as too many good prospects. Prospects are valuable currency that can be used to upgrade your roster a lot better than picks can, but you use it when the time is right or the right deal is to be had (ie Turris). Keep on drafting and developing young players.
I'm wholeheartedly against rentals.
If a trade like what you're describing is to be made, then I want the player being acquired to be young with potential or in his prime when the Sens are challenging.
lineup against Buffalo on Friday:
Glencross-Turris-Alfie
Latendresse-Zibanejad-Silfverberg
Greening-Smith-Neil
Kassian-Regin-Condra
Cowen-Gonchar
Methot-Streit
Phillips-Benoit/Weircioch/Gryba/Lundin
Andy
Lehner
amarite?
I think camalleri is most likely to be traded and I dont mind him too, he will cost less than glencross
There's a problem with this, 4 of those guys are currently out, not including karlsson
and you have to include the 3rd pair which will most like be wier/benoit/lundin. If the other teams coach is smart enough they will make sure the top line goes against that and most teams can roll at least two lines if not all 4(damn bruins). we need another top 4 dman and drop phillips to 3rd pairing
All I'm saying is Fuhr is saying (I think) to get these guys a little help if it comes cheap and you seem to be totally against that but have no problem trading Spezza, please explain your rationale behind that if you have the time.
I would only move him for a good return. Just like any player not named Karlsson or Alfredsson.

Isn't Glencross locked up for a few years? That's not a rental, that's a roster addition.
Sens are challenging next year. And the year after that. No reason whatsoever we should expect anything less than what we're getting right now. We certainly shouldn't expect or accept anything less with our best players in the line-up.
So what's wrong with moving picks for a good return? ie youngish goal scorer with a few years left on his deal.

We're on a long, tough road trip and we have a very depleted lineup. No one is saying we should "sell the farm" (hello, Mandy), but we sure as heck need some help to retain our spot and at least have a decent chance at winning a round or two, which would go a long way in helping all of the kids in the lineup get some valuable experience for next year.
We're not going to need a ton of picks for the draft either, considering the quality of our scouting team, and also the fact that we'll have Spezza, EK and Cowen back next season as well. I seriously don't get how people can't even see the value of trading for a 2nd line winger ala Pominville if it means having to part with a few picks. It helps us much more in the short AND long run to pull off such a move.
Not saying it's an easy move to pull off for Murray, but I would hope he realizes that the team can only do so much in the playoffs with what they have. And no, it's not a guarantee we make them despite what Vegas says.

Me too btw.
Unless you know you have a really, really, really good shot at the cup. Like Pitt or Boston right now.
Sure, and I'd give up a lot more for Glencross than I would for Roy or Jagr. Not disagreeing with you
Probably wouldn't give up as much as some of you for Glencross though. Dunno how long that guy can keep scoring like he is.
