Are either Elite?? I have to say i'm not qualified to make that call because i don't keep up with scouting like i use to. But one is a Center who may project to a #1 and the other is a LW/RW who can project to a top like winger. One is a former teammate of their current top stars they have now. A very hard choice.

OccamsRazor Posted Friday at 04:48 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:48 PM So that must tell you a lot when no one wanted this guy even if they picked up 50% of his salary must mean they want to just move on now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how close they are to contending....not very. Of course Briere thinks they could contend in 5 years....every GM thinks that This is an interesting point. A safe play for a GM. If you aren’t good in five years, you’ll likely to not be here to answer anymore questions about it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR Ewing Posted Friday at 05:22 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:22 PM 1 hour ago, OccamsRazor said: Yeah is it too much to give up maybe 3 really good players for one elite one though? Seriously asking? And giving up 3 assets for one to only have that one bust would be a huge huge set back. If you make that trade, it needs to deliver 100%. Not close, not sort of. You need to 100% end up with an elite player, and that's just not assured at #4. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Patrick Nolan and other draft picks that didn't come through (which also happens to other teams as well not lost on me) has set them back enough. So either let the draft fall how it is going to fall or commit and go get your guy. But Danny Jones has to knock this out the park miss and it could set you back 2-3 years.

It's why you can't pick an injured player, or Eiserman. This is a must succeed pick, and not a luxury one. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i meant to add how else will this team get to #4 to even have that chance again though? We all can most agree they mid as hell and will be hovering around 12-16 for a few years coming even. But next year's draft is suppose to be deeper...so if they don't like it they may have a chance to pick up something next year to move back... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted Friday at 05:30 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:30 PM Definitely saying no to giving up either 25 pick to move up in this one. Have a roster player and 32 or 12 but ****off if another team wants a 2025. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are referring to the Ulmark trade, then the 7th was not part of the deal. It's the Sens later first round pick that was involved. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilldoc Posted Friday at 06:51 PM Share Posted Friday at 06:51 PM The official trade between Boston / Ottawa: The Senators announced Monday that they had acquired goaltender Linus Ullmark from the Boston Bruins. In exchange, Boston will receive goaltender Joonas Korpisalo, centre Mark Kastelic and the Senators 25th overall pick in Friday's NHL Draft 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know Clarke wanted Makar all along, even though he never mentioned it for years after. The fact that several teams want to trade down tells me how many think there isn't a lot of difference between picking 4-12 or whatever. Colorado also knows how to build a winner.

BITFU and draft. 2 evolutions. And throw in a little shrewd asset management. A concept that continues to elude everyone in Flyerland. They think one more shiny toy and a caveman coach will get us to the promised land. I await this evening with trepidation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
