Rumor: Trade rumours/Proposals 2018-2019 (Part 11) [MOD WARNING PAGE 12]

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

The fact that this wasnt also announced for Stone is a great sign if you ask me. May have gotten a signal from Stone that he wants to sign.

Stone also played over 20 minutes last night while Duchene and dzingel barely played.

And so it ends with not a bang, but a whimper. I'm sorry it didn't work out differently, but it's been hard for me to watch him in a Sens uniform lately anyway. When you know they don't want to be there, you just want it done. Entirely emotional, non-practical reaction I know, but..

 

[DJB]

Duchene not dressed but Stone is?

I take it as a sign that there is nothing quite as imminent for Stone, but that's all I'm willing to read into it at this point. If they're still mid-Hail Mary, they're not going to want to bench him and invite the psychological experience of being an outsider looking on.

 

[danielpalfredsson]

Smart to sit Duchene out. Even if it would just be a 1 percent chance of injury, it's not worth the risk of dressing him.

 

[Crosside]

I m start thinkink is better trade all 3 ufa All the rumor about Stone excited me .

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

He's going to get injured stepping into a pot hole or something, isn't he?

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

That is pretty underwhelming to me. Donato and Debrusk kinda fit into the same tier as so many of our other forward prospects. 2/3 liners. I'd be more interested in Vaakanainen.

I’d rather both of those guys over Vaakanainen by a pretty huge margin

 

[RedWhiteBlackGold]

If we can only ink one of the 3 long term I'd be fine with Stone at 10+ mill and captain.

Cost wise I imagine Dzingle is the only one here next week.

Pretty decent tbh. Debrusk seems like a decent peice, nhl ready. We could do worse. Low first though.

 

[DrEasy]

Duchene wont dress tomorrow

Per dreger on insider trader

He'll skate naked! It's cheaper.

 

[OmniSens]

Any clue if maybe Duchene is the one that asked to sit because he doesn't wanna jeopardize his chances?

It would be a smart move on his part but under contract does he have that luxury?

 

[Sweatred]

Sell high - Half of Debrusk’s assist came in the last 5 games.

 

[Ice-Tray]

Wow this is A+ stuff thank you for this.

Just a common sense recounting of what happened, but you’re welcome

Why though? I don't think they really fit into a Sens time line here. You would get a glut of forwards of similar ability, age and contract status. Some would have to be moved out by default or risk having them depreciate in value as their stuck in the log jam. There's only so many spots on a NHL team and only so many quality minutes to go around.

I think that unless you're getting back a guy who's got a real future as a top line guy, you want guys who are younger and will be coming up in a few years as we move the Belleville forwards into the NHL.

I'd want Dmen in that age group or younger though.

 

[coladin]

The match is lit. Burn it to the ground. What’s the point of keeping Stone without Duchene. Saves a year in the rebuild? Why would he stay without Duchene?

I dont really like Vaakanainen. See him as a 4/5 guy longterm, similar to Lajoie but with a bit more upside. He would need to beat Chabot, Wolanin or Lajoie for a spot (and Boro/Harpur next year) so I don't see some gaping hole for him to fill anyways .

Debrusk is a solid 2nd liner already and has upside, and I really really like Donato's high end skill. Think he has a good shot of being a top 6er. I, too, would prefer a young DMan, especially an RD, but given Vaakanainens handedness and relatively low ceiling I'd much rather take the guys who I think are simply far better, higher potential players/prospects.

I would like that package from the Bruins although I dont think its realistic... and given that, the Bruins are not the team I would target. None of their D prospects are particularly interesting to me

 

[Dzingelberry]

You have about as much faith in Dorion as I do.

 

[Ouroboros]

Why is this Bruins fan still here low-key trash-talking us?

It doesn't make any sense. He stormed in here all like 'you guys are shit and you don't even have your 1st rounder amd there's no hope on the horizon' and we're all like 'no kidding', but he's still responding as though people are arguing with him?

Very bizarre.

 

[BonkTastic]

What’s the point of keeping Stone without Duchene.

Most successful rebuilds keep around one or two key veteran players to help the next generation up and act as mentor.

I'm not worried about keeping Stone around for the skill as much as he seems like a good leader and I don't wanna be Oilers 2.0 in a few years.

 

[SensFactor]

Stone is probably looking through the contract with a class of cognac and mulling over his time with the Sens as we speak. Weighing positives and negatives of staying in Ottawa.

The match was lit when #95 took the ice. THAT, sparked Ottawa Rising.

 

[inthewings]

Just conversation most talks on these forums are just that ...talk

Oh, conversation. So you’ve told Ottawa fans that the Senators shouldn’t have traded the pick, that Hughes is a special talent, and that you’re glad he’s (maybe) going to Colorado instead of Ottawa. And you’re looking for.... what, exactly, in response?
