Rumor: Trade rumours/Proposals 2018-2019 (Part 8)

[Sens of Anarchy]

Clearly he is worth more than Boyle its not even close.

So what does that translate to ...
I really like Pageau. IMO he is worth a late first.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Adding to the pain of this whole thing is reading Bruce Garrioch write about it. I know he’s got sources, but how he was hired based on journalistic merit I’ll never know.

It was great seeing Mike Johnston refuting Bruce's propaganda bullshit on the last TSN broadcast. It definitely caught him off guard. You could see he was surprised by the push back on "Question Period"

Perhaps or 2nd plus a good prospect, however he is the last player the team should be trading at this point.

I missed this was out of town, do you have a video or link? There is nothing more that i enjoy more than watching that snake squirm.

Yip. Late first or a 2nd and B prospect. I wanted more since it's MTL and they are our rival. They seem to forget that we don't NEED to trade him. We'll trade him if the offer is enticing enough. A 3rd and Hudon is not even close to enticing.

Garrioch is just a mouthpiece for Dorion and Melnyk... So he is really refuting them.. Be awesome to have a job that pays you what Garrioch gets and you don't even have to think for yourself.

Curious what you guys think of this proposal:

Isles 1st, Kieffer Bellows and Sebastien Aho (the Swedish dman) for Stone

Aho is a really good player but alas we have a logjam at D, he should be in the NHL already if not for our overflow of D-Corps. Bellows is a former first rounder developing in the AHL, and a first is, well, a first.

1st + Dobson no less for Stone

1st + Dobson no less for Stone

Fair enough.

No deal

Sens need RD... have lots of depth on LD. I bet we'd consider it if you switch Aho for Pulock or even Mayfield due to his contract

It's not a "blow me away" offer but I could see the final deal being similar to that tbh

I am sure that Mike Johnston has been "spoken to" and this will probably not happen again.

Stone takes a team that has a little hope to make some noise in the playoffs ... like the Islanders and makes them very close to SC Cup contenders .. He is worth more

I hope youre right but I am sure you understand that my optimism is low on these things

Yea I would also like to see this

"Hey, are you guys interested in trading your best player for a late 1st round pick and two depth prospects that we won't miss in the least?"

... How exactly are you expecting us to respond to this?

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Definitely understand.. but just because our GM is completely incompetent doesn't mean we should reduce their value

 

[HSF]

he would have to sign with the islanders

Sorry, looked and can't find anything on TSN.

Best bet is if you have an NHL.tv gamecentre subscription. You can just play that game and fast forward to the end of the 1st period.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

IMO, If he resigns he is worth even more than that.

 

[Silencio]

Serious question: how much control do NHL teams actually have over limiting and/or banning media access? I keep reading about how media outlets won't ask tough questions due to supposedly being terrified of getting on Melnyk's bad side and thus losing access to the Senators, but wouldn't the NHL massively fine a team if they actually blocked media access, refused to let their players do interviews or answer questions etc?

 

[bert]

Fair enough.

No deal

Ok so the sens will settle for Fabbro and a 1st instead.

If he covered the Sens almost exclusively, access (or free plane rides) could become a factor, I don't think they'd have any influence at all on Mike Johnson

If you don't think another team will beat that then I don't know what to tell you.

 

[Thrasymachus]

Bellows and Aho are good pieces, far from depth prospects.

Hey man, good luck. I didn't mean to low ball you guys, I can assure you that that is a good package. Aho is criminally underrated. Lets see what happens I guess. I don't doubt that with a bidding war you guys could get quite the haul.

Peace and love
