Proposal: Trade Rumours/Proposals PART XXX

[Masked]

Marc Methot didn’t want to play in Canada because of taxes so it’s a real thing.

Yet he signed in Ottawa long term when he was eligible to be a UFA.

Assen na yo!

 

[Dan Patrick]

What does a trade for M. Tkachuk even look like. He's only got, what, one year left at 9mil a year before he's a UFA. So he's a 9 million dollar rental unless he is being traded to STL.

 

[Micklebot]

That may be accurate or perhaps a case of PD showing his side where he misspeaks a bit when live. Personally I think it’s likely they spend “close” to the cap and maybe peak out for 1-2 years which fits EM’s original quote.

That should cover extensions to everyone up to Stutzle/Sanderson and after that Brady may have UFA etc.

I wasn't really worried about the distinction of close to the cap vs to the cap, just to the claim that fans add their own quotes to the FYOUS story. Dorion definitely said what he said, that's not Ottawa fans making up quotes. Now, if you want to suggest he mis-spoke, or interpret to the cap in a broader sense, that's fine. Don't think anyone believes to the cap meant exactly to the dollar anyways, teams often leave space to allow for deadline acquisitions that may or may not come to fruition anyways. I'm sure all these players are staying doesn't mean we won't make hockey trades either.

2 years remaining prior to UFA, either a sign and trade, or a team risking a 9 million dollar Q.O after this coming season and then a trade at the deadline

Thanks for the correction. I guess two years boosts his value quite a bit but still pretty rough if you dont at least have an agreement in principle to something beyond 22-23.

That's fair - there are a couple sets of quotes out there … I think the original prepared quote of “we plan to spend close to the cap” is the most realistic expectation.

Also of note is that his salary this upcoming season is a full $9m with no signing bonus.

Assen na yo!

Well it's ambiguous, so it's realistic in that you can interpret it to suit whatever you feel like realistic is.

Fans will understand the Cap if we can't afford everyone - but they have to sodden to get there first and none of this cloak and dagger insurance pay out / LTIR list thing Ottawa does.

Real dollars for real players and close to the cap everyone will be happy with

Geepers it seems like I touched a nerve. I'll try and be less obtuse, but I sure hope Dorion makes a trade soon so everyone can back off the ledge.

Frankie says relax.

 

[Silencio]

Well if the Wexiters ge their wish Matthew will be playing for an "American" team anyway

 

[dumbdick]

I still want more futures.

 

[Crosside]

Per EK we are between the five team interested to Gaudreau

Don't want that guy. He had his time.

Erik Karlsson or Hacklund?

A small soft left winger who is a year from UFA really seems to fit what the Senators are looking for and building. Klessel probably needs some hits from eastern Ontario.

Assen na yo!

 

[Silencio]

So Calgary's plan is to acquire Eichel and then auction off all of their remaining point producers?

First domino down...

The Tatar signing is a domino?

He's eating pizza for lunch.

Eichel to the Rangers?

 

[Dan Patrick]

Does Gaudreau play RW? LW is probably our strongest position right?

I dont understand this organization if this is true.

Keep in mind it is from Eklund so its probably not so much a rumour as it is probably made up and pulled directly out of his butthole

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Eichel to the Rangers?

Yup
