Pens fan…
Thoughts on this trade idea…


Pittsburgh Trades
Bryan Rust to Florida

Ottawa Trades
Dylan Cozens to Pittsburgh

Florida Trades
Matthew Tkachuk to Ottawa

Florida gets a great player and cap space to help keep the window open

Penguins get your Center locked in for a number of years

Ottawa get’s to unite the brothers

Deal works for everyone….

21 Jun 2025 20:59:58
Going to need to send another more to Florida.

21 Jun 2025 23:37:12
Thinking your right…how about this?

Trade # 5
Pittsburgh Trades
Bryan Rust to Florida
2nd Round 59th Pick 2025 to Florida


Ottawa Trades
Dylan Cozens to Pittsburgh
1st Round 21st Pick 2025 to Florida

Florida Trades
Matthew Tkachuk to Ottawa.

22 Jun 2025 17:23:22
Why does OTT or FLA want to do this?

FLA is chasing another Cup, and the Cozens trade was just last year, and he’s performed really well for them.

12 Mar 2025 13:57:54
OTT : Chabot, Forsberg, Perron, Boucher, and a 1st

BUF : Dahlin, and Quinn

Hear me out. Ottawa has proven they aren't afraid to shake things up a bit by trading a key player like Norris for an equal or near equal return like Cozens, and Buffalo has also proven they aren't opposed to doing the same thing, when their players want out. Rumor has it, Dahlin like Cozens wants out. So, why not swap a couple big name defencemen like Dahlin and Chabot. Then have Ottawa bring the Cobden native Quinn back home at the same time. Buffalo gets a 1st out of it, a decent backup goalie, and some familiarity for Norris to link up with again in Chabot and Forsberg. Plus maybe a change of scenery will do Boucher some good too like it did so far for Cozens. Plus Ottawa also gets some familiarity for Cozens to play with as well in Dahlin and Quinn in a happier environment.

13 Mar 2025 11:43:55
Buffalo easily says "no thank you".

17 Feb 2025 17:36:54
OTT :
Norris (25% retained)
Sebrango
Forsberg
Perron

LAK :
Clarke
3rd

Then...

OTT :
Guadette
Docker
Highmore
5th

BUF :
Quinn
6th

Ottawa brings in a couple home grown young lads to help push for Playoffs and give the fans something more to cheer for.

Quinn could slide into the 2nd line with Pinto and Giroux while Clarke could compliment Sanderson on the Top pair allowing Zub to drop to bottom pair where he should be with Klevin. Also opens up one of Zub or Jensen to become trade bait themselves when Yakemchuck is ready to join the main roster.

17 Feb 2025 22:09:23
Pretty sure LA wont move clarke.

18 Feb 2025 14:15:37
gis1 there's actually already been real rumors speading about Clarke wanting out of LA and them being it talks with Ottawa. Hence why I posted this here

18 Feb 2025 16:16:48
Quantity does not equal quality.

2 pending UFAs and a pending RFA + Norris for $5.96m for 5 more years is not equal value to Brandt Clarke + 3rd rounder.

2 pending UFAs (fringe NHLers at best) and a pending RFA + 5th round pick is not equal value to Jack Quinn (8th overall in 2020) and a 6th round pick.

18 Feb 2025 17:39:08
If Clarke wants out, its gonna cost more then that package i think.

19 Feb 2025 22:37:25
gis1 i strongly disagree. Norris alone is a former 35 goal scorer and very capable of getting there or better again. His only issue is that he's injury proned which is the only reason Ottawa should entertain trading him. Forsberg is an on again off again backup goalie Kings can take a risk on, Perron is not my favorite player but plays the pesky in your face style a lot of gms like to see. And Sebrango is a decent prospect in his own right. Clarke is awesome but so is that package, plus Clarke is from Ottawa and if he wants to come home to play, it's not like Kings won't help make that happen at a reasonable cost like this one.

19 Feb 2025 22:45:51
DrwDave what quantity for quality are you talking about? Decent backup goalie, a middle 6 pesky in your face style forward, a solid prospect, and a proven 35 goal scoring young center who's only downside is injuries and is currently having a solid year for a solid Dman, those kind of trades do happen bud

And Guadette and Quinn aren't separated by much at all in value. Yeah Quinn definitely has an edge obviously, but that's why Docker and Highmore are there to make up the difference. Plus Quinn is from Cobden just outside Ottawa. Teams do help facilitate trades to send players home if the players want that.

21 Feb 2025 13:29:08
@Sensee when they are veterans absolutely they do. They are not going to do it just cause Clarke wants to lol. End of the day it's still a business and LA holds all the leverage in a deal around Clarke. Same can be said about Buffalo in regards to a deal around Quinn.

22 Feb 2025 22:49:00
I really don’t like these for Ottawa. Gaudette is fitting amazing with Stutzle and having a career year for not much AAV. Quinn is unproven and sets us back.

We need a center in Norris much more than another unproven set back in Clarke. The rest I don’t care much about.

I think sens should do a Pageau or similar trade and make their run. They can’t afford backwards movement.

25 Feb 2025 17:37:29
Trading to get pageau would be backwards movement 100%.

16 Feb 2025 04:30:33
OTT :
Norris
Sebrango
Forsberg
Conditional 2026 1st Round Pick (based on whether or not Rantanenen resigns with Ottawa or not, becomes a 3rd Round Pick in 2026/2027 if not)



CAR :
Rantanenen

17 Feb 2025 16:15:25
0 chance Rantanen would re sign in Ottawa. Zero.

Also this package is way worse than what Carolina gave up to acquire Rantanen.

17 Feb 2025 17:15:27
DrwDave it might not be as good but it ain't far off that package either. Plus you got to take into account that Carolina was likely losing Necas to free agency next off-season anyway, plus they had time to flip Rantanenen who they expected to sign but won't. It was never supposed to be a rental situation in their eyes when they traded for him. But in this case Ottawa would trade for him in the expectation that he is likely a rental for the playoffs with an outside hope to resign him that's not a guarantee. So yeah, his value will definitely drop now because of that just like with every other player. Look at Chychrun return Ottawa got for example after the boatload they gave to get him. Or DeBrincat for that matter, or Duchene.

17 Feb 2025 17:44:27
lol @ DrwDave comment. "0 chance he would re-sign in Ottawa". any reason? is it because you don't prefer Ottawa?

17 Feb 2025 18:02:25
To add to what DRW said, CAR made a calculated move in acquiring Rantanen, and they’re not going to blow that up after 6 games.

17 Feb 2025 22:10:52
Nécas has an additionnel year.

17 Feb 2025 23:44:06
1. Canadian small market team with obsessed fans and sports media that push unrealistic expectations.

2. Ottawa is not going to be contending for a cup until Rantanen is at least 32-33 and by then he'd be an overpaid roster player.

3. There's plenty of teams lining up to sign Rantanen this summer that can afford to pay him more than Ottawa/ Andlauer can pay.

17 Feb 2025 23:48:02
I wouldnt try to compare the Chychrun return to what Rantanens trade value is.

That was just very poor asset management by Ottawa. Just because the Senators were willing to trade Chychrun for next to nothing, doesn't mean Carolina would be winning to do the same.

Hurricanes fans would probably riot if they heard the team traded away Necas to rent Rantanen and then flipped him to Ottawa 1 month later.

14 Feb 2025 18:26:04
Senators trade thomas chabot to the flames in exchange for kevin bahl.

15 Feb 2025 17:39:35
No from Connie.

04 Jan 2025 14:17:59
Ottawa trades Josh Norris

Nashville trades Ryan O'Reilly

Nashville season is done and they can build to the future with someone that is younger and still has upside.

Ottawa gets the style of player they need to push for the playoffs and a guy you need in the playoffs.

May need to add picks or players to make it happens, but at the core this might be worth it for both teams.

22 Sep 2024 23:24:02
Pittsburg Trades:
Tristan Jarry

Ottawa Trades:
Linus Ullmark

Thoughts?

23 Sep 2024 20:03:26
Why would Ottawa trade the Vezina winning goalie they just traded for.

24 Sep 2024 19:26:49
This would never happen.

26 Sep 2024 22:42:27
Ullmark for Jarry?!? lolol. good one. Get off the pipe.

22 Jun 2024 15:43:55
Ottawa - 7th overall

Philly - 12th and Laughton

24 Jun 2024 04:22:47
Its hard to move up that far in the top of the first round. I'd think Philly adds a little but close. Imho.

20 Jun 2024 17:21:44
Ottawa Senators
- LD Jake Chychrun ($4.6m until 2025)
- G Anton Forsberg ($2.75m until 2025)
- 2024 1st round pick (Boston's pick, 25th overall)

Boston Bruins
- G Linus Ullmark ($5m until 2025)


Ottawa is aggressively pushing to land Ullmark. The former Vezina trophy winner won't come cheap and the package offered reflects that.

Boston acquires a backup for Swayman this season and they recoup their 2024 1st round pick, but the prize here for them is Chychrun.

I dont expect Ottawa to hold onto Korpisalo, either a separate trade or a buyout will happen for Korpi.

20 Jun 2024 19:51:37
I did see this elsewhere, and while it seems steep for OTT with that 1st, the ARE desperate.

BOS is definitely in the drivers seat since so many teams need a starting goalie, and they have two.

24 Jun 2024 04:52:50
I really don't think Boston is trying to add salary.

13 Jun 2024 23:44:53
Ottawa Trades
7th pick in the 1st Round
25th pick in the 1st Round
Anton Forsberg (1 yr, $2.75m)

Pittsburgh Trades
Tristan Jarry (4yr, $5.375)
46th pick in the 2nd Round

14 Jun 2024 02:50:28
Jarry isn't worth close to that.

14 Jun 2024 21:09:13
PIT says start the car…START THE CAR!

17 Jun 2024 12:28:01
Why doesnt Ottawa take a look at DeSmith (UFA) and merzlikens (I think he's on the block) and use 1 draft pick on a guy like Hronek or something.

13 Jun 2024 22:57:56

11 Jun 2024 20:50:36
OTT: Ehlers
WPG: Chychrun

11 Jun 2024 21:09:59
Winnipeg has zero need for LHD, so the Jets should say no.

An Ehlers trade needs to fill a need for the Jets, like a top 4 RHD or 2C with term or team control.

13 Jun 2024 03:28:36
Memarcus, connor Murphy, a 3rd for Ehlers.

11 Jun 2024 14:38:37
Ottawa Trades
Chychrun
Katchouk

Toronto Trades
NRobertson
Liljegren
DeWar
1st Round Pick 2026


Unless Chychrun is planning to resign which I believe he isn't in Ottawa, The Sens make a smart move in this proposal going forward in the future.

Leafs will be looking at bolstering Defense and Chychrun helps to get the off season shopping started, Katchouk a RFA will probably not be qualified making him a UFA imo.



Thoughts ?

11 Jun 2024 15:31:47
In your own words you consider Chychrun the worst defenseman on the Senators roster because of his -30 +/ - stat.

Hes playing for a provincial and divisional rival, if he was going to be traded within Ontario the ask from Ottawa would be a lot more than 2 RFAs and a late 1st round pick considering they'll be seeing a lot of Chychrun with how often the leafs and Sens play each other.

You just continue to try and offer different combinations of Liljegren, Robertson, McMann or Dewar and that 1st rounder hoping that you'll find something that sticks.

You're absolutely braindead and you are wasting your time on here. Go play franchise mode on your ps5 where trades like this will still get rejected.

12 Jun 2024 08:39:01
It’s trades like this that necessitate a Pinball quality control rule. One person littering this site with daily nonsense just lowers the experience.

#PinballNeedsATimeOut.

10 Jun 2024 22:14:09
CBJ: Boone Jenner, Sean Kuraly, Erik Gudbranson

OTT: Josh Norris, Mathieu Joseph, Conditional 2025 3rd (Norris plays less than 60 games it becomes a 2nd; less than 40 games it becomes a 1st).

Ottawa gets the veteran leadership help and 3rd-4th line help it seeks. Columbus gets a potentially young 1st or 2 nd line centre if he can stay healthy, a winger that can play up and down the line up, and rids themselves of one of their bad contracts

08 Jun 2024 17:02:46
Ottawa Trades
Joseph

Pittsburgh Trades
RSmith

Pens I believe will try to shed some salary for Cap Space and this trade off saves 2,050.000..

Sens looking to take the next step in improving imo get the better player in this proposal..



Thoughts ?

08 Jun 2024 20:36:04
Pittsburgh fits for Joseph but Smith doesnt fit for Ottawa. Ottawa needs the extra cap space to extend Shane Pinto.

11 Jun 2024 12:38:49
Sens have just shy of $12.5mill in cap space so they got room to sign Pinto and add Smith. Smith's contract expires at the end of the year so if it's not working out then you deal him at the deadline for a pick. Could revamp it and do:

PIT: Smith
OTT: Joseph and Hamonic

Opens up just under a mill in cap space for the Pens, but they get a serviceable dman for the year and a 3rd liner.

Ottawa gets a guy who can play in their top 6 and still have ample room to sign Pinto. If it's not working out they can flip Smith at the deadline for a pick or more. Opens up a spot on D for one of the younger guys.

13 Jun 2024 23:31:50
Not sure this is an offer that makes sense for Ottawa.

30 May 2024 17:03:05
Montreal Trades
Slafkovsky
Reinbacher (AHL)
1st Round Pick 2024 (5th overall)
2nd Round Pick 2024 (57th overall)

Ottawa Trades
BTkachuk


Thoughts ?

30 May 2024 23:08:43
No. Slaf is gonna be good. Not sure if he will be as good as Brady, he may even become better. ( to early to tell) . and to add a top 5 pick in Reinbacher and this year's as well as a 2nd, well Gorton and Hughes aren't idiots.

30 May 2024 23:29:33
Overpay. MTL needs to push for a playoff spot. They will need both Slaf and Tkachuk.

31 May 2024 02:58:55
It's amazing how much worse your trades are when they don't involve your favorite team.

Ottawa would take this and run, Montreal would lose their entire future and everything they've worked towards for the last 3 years.

More proof you should never be in charge of anything.

31 May 2024 03:52:00
You’re pretty generous with trade capital except when it’s coming from your leafs.

Absolute no from MTL.

29 May 2024 12:22:08
Habs Trade.

I heard this rumor and loved it for
Both teams.

Habs Trade 5th overall, 26th and Reinbacher

Ottawa.

Tkachuk.

Habs should have drafted Tkachuk

29 May 2024 14:45:00
I would love Tkachuk on the habs! My only concern is that they are trading a lot of future for a current asset and we don't have enough current talent for that trade to make enough of a difference.
Ottawa could use with future pieces as well for people in good contention, maybe LA/ Van/ WPG/ etc.

01 Jun 2024 02:48:29
“Habs should have drafted Tkachuk. ”

Wow…you just don’t get retroactive draft insight like that every day. ?

The Habs whiffed taking KK instead of Ykachuk or Hughes, obviously, but I wouldn’t compound it with this trade either.

02 Jun 2024 13:22:13
I watched the draft and I was yelling at the TV. Pick Tkachuk.
Tkachuk is 24 and is the perfect age for the Habs on their rebuild. You need to trade assets to get a player like Tkachuk.

04 Jun 2024 17:19:46
MTL's loss was OTT's gain, and I don't see OTT trading their Captain.

28 May 2024 22:57:26
Ottawa Trades
Chychrun

Toronto Trades
NRobertson
Liljegren
1st Round Pick 2026 (Lottery Protected)


Sens get a young scoring LWinger and RHanded Shooting Defenceman, plus a 1st Rounder in 2026.
Teams rebuilding make trades like this for the now and future, with Chychrun on an expiring contract this also makes sense for Ottawa.

Leafs would start with a bang adding Chychrun in their off season adding, and Chychrun will fit in nicely of a second pairing defenceman probably paired with McCabe.



Thoughts ?

29 May 2024 05:33:44
Think the Leafs should look bigger, with Marner being the guy heading out for a top pair Dman.

29 May 2024 12:17:44
You tried this trade yesterday.

We laughed then and we're still laughing now. ???.

29 May 2024 13:13:51
DrwDave
Seems your the only one laughing, Chychrun got traded for actually basically the same a few years back with Chychrun having more term on his contract than now an expiring contract next season and a UFA after next season, unless Chychrun resigns he will be traded imo and my proposal is about right even though Leaf players in your head have zero value including Toronto 1st Rounders.

30 May 2024 12:16:52
2 pending RFAs and a 25th-32nd 1st round pick are not going to get a top 4 defenseman from a divisional and provincial rival.

There's more to hockey than just trade value, life isn't like GM mode on PS5.

When Chychrun is traded the return will be better than what you're desperately offering in every proposal.

30 May 2024 22:13:18
DrwDave
So tell me what Chychrun is worth since you seem to know so much.
Oh Chychrun was a -30 on Ottawa last year the worst +/ - by far on the entire Sens Defense.

31 May 2024 03:02:50
I'm not the one trying desperately to make a Chychrun to Toronto trade make sense, that's you lol. You show us why Ottawa would throw Chychrun away to a provincial rival for basically nothing after they traded so much for him 2 years ago.

Also, if his -30 is a detractor and he's the worst defenseman on the Senators in your own opinion, why do you want him on the Leafs?

01 Jun 2024 02:53:58
Wow…. you sure are dying to trade Robertson and Lilly pinball…you’re doing that thing where you compulsively include the same couple of players you’re dying to unload for someone of value on the other side.

What happened to Robertson being worth much more than I or others were giving them credit for?

OTT isn’t giving you Chychrun for this yard sale of yours. Post less, and perhaps you’ll post better. DRW was right to use the clown emoji?.

28 May 2024 12:18:01
Carolina: necas chicago: 2025 Toronto 1st, 2026 Toronto 2nd, athanasiou (50% retained). Then chicago: Ottawa 3rd, calgary 5th, raddysh rights. Tb: jeannot

Apparently Toronto has two players they can trade and pinball think they're good enough to trade for anyone in the league. Its tiring.

28 May 2024 16:09:18
Oh my God pinball ? at least you didn't try to explain yourself here because there's absolutely no logic to this trade proposal. Just awful.
