CASUAL: That would be cool Casual. Lucic on the Bash Brothers line with Thornton was just fearsome. Lining up against them several times a game would put your head on a swivel. I travel to Boston fairly regularly and they even had a “Bash Brothers” illuminated sign in the TD Garden concourse. How many 4th lines are THAT beloved by a fan base to get the star treatment? Amazing.
LUKOWICH: if ARI got that package from CGY, they or anyone would trade Lucic for a 6th in my humble opinion. His contract and play mean you’re not making a hockey trade for him, it’s a cap trade for compensation at this point.

Not interested in giving up Top Assets for dumping Lucic at this point. Unless we needed the Cap Space to bring another player in, we might as well just keep our 1st and use his Cap Savings for Huberdeau next season
Valimaki + Lucic sure, but we should at least get a 4th-7th Round Pick back in exchange.

Tyler Boucher, Lassi Thomson, Jacob Bernard-Docker or Ridly Greig +
2023-1st Round Pick-OTT
@MoxNix's offer is what they want, but I agree OTT won't include Jake Sanderson, but they'll have to give to get, as Chychrun (who I think is overrated and has health issues) is in High Demand and ARI isn't in a situation where they have to move him, so they'll simply wait until they get what they want.

08 Aug 2022 05:03:21
Like I said, you 2 are delusional beyond belief. And clearly I'm NOT the only one who notices that.
Young player is Alex Formenton
High end prospect is Docker or Thompson
2024 1st is the 1st
Ottawa also needs cap room to make this happen so a contract move of Zaitsev to fit Chychrun is pretty much mandatory, and Arizona has the space to facilitate that kind of move for a sweetener like Sokolov.
And without Crouse involved that's still an overpayment by Ottawa.
Arizona will NOT get their asking price for him and will likely get much less like in every trade for a guy with injury history and 1 year left till RFA status who has NO intention of resigning with that team. So get over yourselves.

08 Aug 2022 05:13:33
YOU are the one who is delusional if you think Alex Formenton and Docker or Thomson plus a first is going to cut it for Chychrun.
And you expect them to take on a cap dump too? That costs extra.
And then add Crouse too? ROTFLMFAO.
Agree1
Disagree8
08 Aug 2022 14:56:05
Obviously a cap dump costs extra why do you think Sokolov is in there as a sweetener. Sweeteners aren't meant to be the major top end players prospects or picks, they are meant to be solid mid level prospects or 2nd/ 3rd round picks, enough to make it happen. The only cases where it takes more than that is when the cap dump in question is no longer a viable option in a teams top 4 or top 6 and costs a cap hit of 6 million or higher which in Zaitsevs case neither point is true. He can still put up top 4 minutes when needed and is under 5 million cap hit. Yeah he's a cap dump that's not in question but he's not that bad of a cap dump like you let on.
It 100% meets their requirements no matter what you say.
Formenton is a roster player with Top 6 potential and is still under 25 years old. On Arizona he will easily be a top 3 forward, top 6 at worst the second he gets there.
Docker and Thompson ARE high end prospects no matter what you think. High end does NOT meat number 1 prospect and never did. Ottawa wanted a high end prospect for Stone, did Vegas give us Cody Glass or Peyton Krebs? No! They gave us Erik Branstrom who was like Docker and Thompson considered by hockey personnel as a high end prospect. But he was NOT their TOP prospect by any stretch of the imagination. They fact they say high end prospect and NOT top prospects means any top 10 to top 5 prospect on the team with value will do just fine if they are interested. And not only is Arizona interested in both guys but both guys also fit the criteria perfectly whether you agree or not.
And a 2024 1st unprotected is more than enough to fit the 1st they want seeing how a 2025 1st was litteraly just traded elsewhere, and not just any elsewhere, I believe it was to your Calgary Flames.
As for Crouse, yeah I added him, because like I said before, Chychrun has injury history, and is on record that he don't want to stay in Arizona anymore. Which both take away from his value. And Ottawa is currently a bottom 10 team. Yeah they made some great additions in the off-season so far and adding Chychrun would be another one, however a bounce back year in the first year may not be a total guarantee as sometimes players take a couple years to get used to the new teams, look at Matt Duchene for instance. And other times they never really do, Erik Karlsson, and Kyle Turris are prime examples, he'll Mark Giordano too hasn't been the same since Calgary days nor had Phaneuf. So yeah, that 2024 1st unprotected still carries crazy value compared to a team like Calgary or Colorado or Tampa who were all among the bottom 20 picks due to strong years. Picks values are based on projection to a point yes but more so they are based on the most recent success or lack there of in which case Ottawa has been a bottom 10 team since 2018 making their picks more valuable at this point in time.

05 Aug 2022 23:36:43
No Monix it doesn't you're right. But when quality in quantity is offered its 100% does.
Formenton is already middle 6 forward status with top 6 potential and is easily one of the fastest player's in the game, that is quality whether you agree or not.
A 1st in any draft from any team is also quality, let alone from a team that just had the 7th overall.
Whether it's Thompson or Docker it don't matter, they are both GOING to be Top 4 dmen in the league no matter where they end up and both have already proven to be NHL ready, that is also quality.
And Sokolov is going to be a middle 6 big body power forward who will also look great on a pk and like the rest, already has NHL experience and looked great in that time, that is also quality.
Trades like the Matthew Tkachuk deal are extremely rare and in this case are extremely unlikely. Chychrun is RFA next year, Chychrun also already on record that he is NOT coming back to Arizona long term, and Chychrun has injury history. All those things guarantee noone will be getting fleeced by Arizona the way Calgary fleeced Florida.
This means an offer like this, that actually is rumored and being talked about by actual respectable sources is among the TOP offers that will get for him by far. Especially considering this is an even BETTER haul than Vegas even gave up for Eichel, Ottawa gave up for DeBrincat, or LA gave up for Fiala, who should all carry more value than Chychrun carries now.
I swear you only comment here to argue like a troll who has nothing better to do. There is a reason you are NOT an NHL GM, you would get laughed out of the league and either would NEVER complete a trade or if you did you'd get fleeced every time and turn an NHL team into a PeeWee hockey team in your first couple years lol 1 sided trades are NOT what teams look for, nor has it ever been. And Superstar for Superstar"s" trades are a gm just asking to be fired while the other is hailed as a hero. Lol.

No HockeyDad you are vastly overrating Ottawa bottom 6 players and mediocre prospects. There isn't much quality in your proposal.
Zaitsev is a good bottom pairing defenseman who's overpaid by about 1.5 million a year.
Formenton is a good bottom 6 forward but with the sex assault scandal he's a HUGE RISK. Nobody is going to touch him now.
Neither of those two is going to cut it as the main piece in a trade for Chychrun.
Lassi Thomson is a mediocre defensive prospect who may or may not eventually become a decent bottom pairing player. You compared him to Calgary's Connor Zary a center. Talking apples to apples I wouldn't trade any of Calgary defense prospects Mackey, Poirier or Kuznetsov for Thomson. Valimaki I might consider trade for him just to gain some cap space. Valimaki has been disappointing so far but still has far more upside potential than Thomson.
Sokolov is a big guy who might become a good bottom 6 but that's about it.
Bernard-Docker isn't any better than Thomson. Just another mediocre D prospect who might eventually become a decent bottom pair guy.
You want Chychruns it's going to take better players or prospects than that.
Sanderson, Pinto and a 2023 first probably gets Arizona talking. The pile of mediocrity you proposed isn't even close. I don't care what Bruce Garrioch or some other Senators schill says, it isn't true.

06 Aug 2022 02:59:59

Sohabs not a chance dude that's why Formenton is there. Ottawa has the depth on the wings to replace Formenton with Grieg or Jarventie for example. Pinto is NOT so easily replaced.

As for Sanderson, Pinto, and a 2023 1st? Lmfao we're talking a trade for Jacob Chychrun here, NOT a starting point for a Connor McDavid trade. Would you like Ottawa to trade DeBrincat, Norris, Batherson, Stutzle, Sanderson, Chabot, Pinto, and 5 1sts for Chychrun instead? Or is that NOT enough either? Lmfao get bent with your lame low ball evaluations.

Because Zaitsev has negative value, duh 🙄
Who wants a $4.5mil Bottom-Pairing D-Man!? Better to use the $$$ elsewhere and to give the spot to a younger guy, like Thomson or Docket who neither have proven anything yet. They’re the same as Jusso Valimaki and only get playing time in OTT because they only have 2 Good Defensemen: Chabot and Zub. They wouldn’t get playing time in CGY
So what Formenton is Fast, he’s also Small. He’s only had 1 Good Season. Let’s see if he can replicate it, then we can talk about whether he has Top-6 Potential or not. He’s definitely not better than Dube at this point. Sokolov will probably end up being better
Ottawa won’t be bottom dwellers anymore but if they don’t fix their Defence, they’ll struggle to make the Playoffs. @MoxNix is right, this isn’t near enough for Chychrun and other Teams can & will easily beat this group.
Kylington + Zadorov + Zary + 1st for Chychrun & McBain. At lease they’d be getting 2 NHL Players they can use, not just a Small one who’s Fast. Whoopee 🙌.

There you go again, according to you every Sens prospect is a superstar in waiting and every Flames prospect trash.
Get real dude, a few year's ago Ottawa had one of the best prospect pools in the league but all those top prospects, the ones who actually had true top 6 potential (Tkachuk, Norris, Batherson, Chabot, Stuzle) are all IN the NHL now. What's left isn't nearly as good as those three.
Now you're being completely ridiculous. I never suggested anything even remotely close to "DeBrincat, Norris, Batherson, Stutzle, Sanderson, Chabot, Pinto, and 5 1sts" for Chychrun.
In fact what I did suggest was the 2 least valuable of those players and ONE first. Get your story straight and stop making things up.
If you don't like having your proposals critcized then put some thought into them for a change and stop making absurd lowball proposals. No GM is going to trade a number 1 RD without getting qaulity assets in return! If he did he'd be fired before the ink is dry!

OMG Monix listen to yourself dude that is a troll if I had ever heard one. Every single one of those guys before graduating the prospects list were at one point or another among the Top 100 prospects in the NHL according to actual reputable sources including dobber hockey and TSN rankings, I ain't over valuing a damn thing. You are just undercutting them because they are sens prospects, for what ever reason you seem to think the sens got nothing of value outside the top 2 lines, Sanderson, and Pinto, which is simply NOT true. Sens have drafted far better than most teams for years now hand do have a cupboard of talent in the system whether you like to admit it or not.
I do believe Docker was ranked 56th and Thompson 87th or something less than 2 years ago. And Formenton 3 years ago was 52nd all According to dobber hockey.
And considering this is NOT my proposal outside the pick change, and was actually posted by a legit source outside you or me on YouTube, yeah I'd say the value 100% is still there for all these guys.

Trevor A Connor Brown is worth a 1st, Dorian is a dumbass who settled for a 2nd so he could free up cap to go after Giroux and have cap space left for Joseph, Formenton, and Branstrom if trades can't be made for decent value with those guys. It's called a rushed trade to make priority signings. In case you hadn't noticed it was also made the very 1st day it was allowed, but yeah take your lousy shot lol.
And last I checked Calgary still got bounced embarrassingly by Edmonton lol. Ottawa was also one of the most injury rattled c.v. struck teams in the NHL last year and wasn't far off from them in the North division the year before with our rookie team to your seasoned vets.
I'd gladly bet you Ottawa finishes better than Calgary this year with or without a possible Chychrun addition. Not that that determines prospects value. And not that you'd have the guts to even take that bet lol.

Hell even Tkachuk Norris Giroux might out play them too, less likely but possible for sure.

You think he’ll play as well with Younger less experienced guys like Tkachuk & Norris!? You’ll be lucky to get 60 points out of him this season, both Mangiapane & Toffoli can & will do better than that on Line 1
Barkov > Lindholm
Lindholm >> Norris & Stutzle
You think DeBrincat will score 40 Goals or more Points in OTT without Patrick Kane feeding him or getting Top Line minutes!? Ha! Fat chance!
I like Batherson, but similar to Formenton, let’s see if he can replicate it and for a full season at that
I like the direction OTT is going, but without improving their Defence, your forwards will be playing in their own zone the majority of the time, so won’t have time to be scoring, unless they on the pp.
Both FLA & CGY had Superior Defence last Season. CGY by far has the more Superior Defence >>> OTT.

Lmfao Norris just scored 35 goals, and Tkachuk is easily one of the BEST true power forwards in the league easy and gets under players skin to boot. And both guys being near a point a game. Adding Giroux to a line that did that kind of damage with Batherson and never lost a step with Joseph replacing Batherson? Yeah I have no doubt what so ever they can at least keep that up and likely do better than that with Giroux.
As for the other like, Stutzle had a rough start then when Batherson joined his line he lit the league up nearing a point a game and Batherson was over a point a game, and now you add a 40 goal scorer to that duo in DeBrincat? Yeah thanks for coming, I'll enjoy winning this bet.
Then either Formenton Pinto and Joseph or Grieg Pinto and Joseph if Formenton is included in a possible Chychrun deal is arguably going to be one of the BEST 3rd line trios in hockey either way.
And Norris or Stutzle >> Lindholm any day of the week. Lindhold had Johnny Hockey and Tkachuk to help pad his stats all along, and remains to be seen if he can operate with new linemates yet or not. Lol.
And yeah DeBrincat likely will get 35+ goals if he's playing with Stutzle and Batherson lol Norris would have reached that with Batherson had both guys had NOT gotten injured at different times for extended periods lol and Stutzle is an even better playmaker than Batherson so save your breath you wanna compare that lol
Calgary Defense was better these last few years only because Dorian won't give the kids a chance to play and keeps bringing in old duds. Do yourself a favour and look at the results when Branstrom or Docker or Thompson were in the lineup, they were a winning team with them in, and a losing team without them in. It's NOT rocket science to figure out why Ottawas defence was so bad. Lol
If they add Chychrun, and bring up Sanderson, for a 2 pair, and bring up Branstrom and either Docker or Thompson which ever they don't get rid of, and ship out Zaitsev Hamonic Holden like they should, they instantly change from terrible defense to arguably BEST in the league by a mile. That's the whole point of a legit Chychrun trade. And NOT these one sided fleece Ottawa garbage trades you and Monix keep mentioning. Even without him though, Sanderson and the kids coming up is a huge change in dynamics back there.

Are You Not Entertained!?
I'm having fun with it, just mirroring the tone of the other posters! It's a forum to discuss, banter & challenge ourselves/ others in regards to our/ their hockey knowledge and proposals
Don't have to agree, but I see this as a passionate & competitive hockey debate. I haven't experienced anybody crossing the line or getting abusive
P. S. Calgary Flames >>> Ottawa Senators.

The only delusional ones are you and Monix Trevor A. The stats actually do support me NOT you. Like I said go look up the teams record with Thompson or Docker and Branstrom vs the teams record without those kids. The stats like you said, don't lie. The last 20 games roughly after Chabot got hurt and the kids were given a chance to play they won far more than they lost which as a fan who wanted losses at that time for a chance at a better pick it drove me nuts. Also the stint when Zaitsev and Holden were out injured and Hamonic hadn't been acquired yet. Both times we had winning records. The overall record was a result of injuries, c.v. protocols, and having the old useless bums on the blueline behind 1 good pair of Chabot and Zub. Facts.
Norris and Stutzle are BOTH better than Lindholm no question. Lindholm had not 1 but 2 100+ point players to feed off of and pad his stats of course he should at least be a point a game lmfao 🤣 Norris and Stutzle were BOTH just 10 points shy of a point a game in their soft more years playing with other rookies and soft mores and NO 100 point players to pad their stats, do the math dude.
You tell me how you wanna do this bet? I can't wait!

Add causal fallacies to the list above. Just because the Sens won a couple more games than usual when a player is in the lineup doesn't mean that player is the reason why they won.

"The last 20 games roughly after Chabot got hurt and the kids were given a chance to play they won far more than they lost"
Why aren't you using the same flawed logic to conclude Chabot is a bum and the mediocre kids are better than him too?

It does whe it happens year after year. Same exact thing happened when they each had their debut runs the year before as well. You can talk all you trash you want, facts and stats and history don't lie, you do.

Wow been a while since I posted in here and it's gone full WWE lol glad to see some common sense for once in here though lol, a few new names here but I see there's some new trolls right MoxNix and TrevorA? Lol don't worry, it can be our little secret lol.
I can actually say this is a solid trade all round that is a fair hockey trade for both teams. I'm kindve suprised to see none of the original trolls have a comment on this one yet to be honest LMFAO.
