Senko heads to Florida for a couple of draft picks.

What an addition by Florida. Few things to remember about this deal. Tarasenko had a full no movement clause. He ultimately got to decide where he went and because of this limited what a potential return could have been. This by no means sets the price tag for getting a top 6 winger at the deadline. Ottawa's hands were tied and it was either hold onto him and let him walk for nothing or get something for him and clear the cap.

Take a look at what he got back last year with no, no trade clause. You're wrong imo. Rielly Smith will return even less.

07 Mar 2024 10:22:53
He got a tonne last year with his NTC (he had a modified one) tho. Last year he got dealt the Blues got Samuel Blais, Hunter Skinner, conditional 4th (turned into a 3rd), and a conditional 1st that (ended up being the Stars 1st rounder) . That is way more than what he got this year with his full NTC. Not to mention he's playing overall better this year than he was last year.

Chris Tanev for Artem Grushnikov, 2024 2nd & Conditional 2026 3rd
Sean Monahan for 2024 1st & Conditional 2027 3rd
Elias Lindholm for Andrei Kuzmenko, Joni Jurmo, Hunter Brzustewicz, 2024 1st & Conditional 2024 4th

What do we think Noah Hanifin returns for the Flames? I’m thinking a 1st + prospect + roster player for rental, more if he comes with an extension.

29 Feb 2024 08:24:00
Flames basically got two 2nds and a 3rd for Tanev, you’re telling me Treliving couldn’t do better than that? It was rumoured that they were asking for a single 1st, why wouldn’t he pay that considering Tanev lives in Toronto in the off-season so there’s no doubt he’d resign, you’re getting him 75% retained and he improves your defence drastically for the playoffs. Flames fans know have seen this from Treliving for years “runner up” constantly lol.

Not a bad return but also not as good as everyone anticipated, I’m pretty sure it was VB who was pretty spot on about his value.

01 Mar 2024 00:41:36
Isn’t the condition on if Dallas wins the cup? I’d say it’s closer to a 2nd and 3rd as a return.

After season ... if vancouver really is having trouble signing Peterson, I know 4 firsts would be the price to sign him but don't know if chicago could protect their own picks and trade tb's and Torontos 1sts next two years, would be great for chicago if they can protect their own picks this and next year.

28 Feb 2024 18:30:33
Might be cheaper to trade for him and no they have to use there own picks as far as I know.

19 Feb 2024 05:11:52
How do you all see Kirby Dach? I still beleive he has the potential to be the Canadiens best player. I'm probably wrong like usual, but what do you guys see? I wanna hear from some unbiased guys like myself.

19 Feb 2024 08:14:11
I mean. im biased to Montreal. So want an unbiased opinion.

21 Feb 2024 13:50:46
I think he has potential, but not their best player. I really think the habs will have depth and balance, but star players never really happen. Price was their star.

22 Feb 2024 01:53:01
True Turkey. but we are due! . Haha. I remember Richer had a couple 50 goal seasons and thought he was gonna be that Star. been really since Lafleur, that the Habs had a true offensive Superstar.

10 Feb 2024 15:32:13
If you do redo of the Dubas area what would you change?

My thoughts would
- keep Kadri as 3c,
-keep marchment,
-sign hyman and
-sign strome over Jarnkrok, and
sign better defence


Hyman Matthews Marner
Knies Tavares Nylander
Marchment Kadri Robertson
Lafferty Kampf Marchment

Reilly Brodie
Graves Mccabe
Sandin Benoit.

10 Feb 2024 19:42:47
Letting O'Reilly and Lafferty walk, trading away durzi.

19 Feb 2024 08:16:42
I dunno if it all woulda fit in salary. I'm sure every fan of every team wishes they kept certain guys. I wish we kept Phillip Danault as a 3rd line center, ect. but Kadri as a 3rd? He's making to much money, Hyman is making to much. ect.

07 Feb 2024 02:51:08
The 4 Nations tournament that is happening next year or whenever, should be canceled or revamped? With Olympics back on, we don't need this tournament... or... make it better. With no Russia, no Czechia, Slovakia, no Draisitle.. this isn't a best on best.
To me, this 4 team thing is kinda lame.. thought was a goofy thing last time, but maybe make a young team and a Europe team again.?
No Pasternak and Draisitle( arguably top 5 players in game) not playing is not a best on best... let alone no Russians.( but that's a Putin thing)

08 Feb 2024 00:16:21
Bring Russia back then make team europe with each player having there nations flag on jersey then I’d be very into it.

09 Feb 2024 13:54:29
Agreed. If olympics are back anyway you can make this tournament different with team Europe and u23 team. Try out some different rules even.

01 Feb 2024 01:13:11
what a haul for Lindholm

01 Feb 2024 13:37:34
I thought other teams could have used him more, but definitely not offering that much for him.

31 Jan 2024 00:20:56
I didn't catch the game last night, but read multiple Sens fans complain on another site about how poorly Chabot did and has been playing, asking what it might take to dump him and his fat contract.

Thoughts ?

{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Sporting Fairytales Part 4: The Rumble In The Jungle

08 Jan 2024 14:09:45
Auston Matthews - $13.25 @ 4 UFA
William Nylander - $11.50 @ 8 UFA
John Tavares - $11.00 @ 2 UFA
Mitch Marner - $10.90 @ 2 UFA

yikes dude, this team will never win a cup with contracts like that.

09 Jan 2024 02:26:29
Tavares will sign a league Minimum 700k deal then they will be fine.

10 Jan 2024 15:10:23
Tavares could sign a Giroux / Pavelski deal easily. So he’s gonna leave 20M off the table?

12 Jan 2024 01:44:09
Nylander might end up being similar to the Nurse contract.

02 Mar 2024 17:45:02
After Tavares and Marner contracts are up I suspect Marner gets in the $12mill range and Tavares is let go unless he take a nice Jason Spezza like deal.

13 Mar 2024 00:22:16
The exact opposite will happen @mg69.
