Attila Umbrus Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I have a question for you all...would you take on Bobby Ryan’s contract to get Stone in a trade? Obviously we would have to trade some salary players back to balance the books. But I think it would be the only way we could get Stone with out giving up major assets. And I will also add that I wouldn’t do it unless it was a trade and sign scenario with Stone...thoughts? One weakness of Melynik is his pocket book after all...

coastal.view Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 man i heard sens were offering stone 10.5 million on a long term contract hard to believe that he could earn that much given that he is not among the top tier of elite players ottawa must be quite desperate and still they could not conclude the deal (bonus issues? trade clauses?)

My guess is he'd take less money per year but wants 7-8 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 How about we trade Goldobin to Ottawa for their amateur and lower tier scouts Ottawa's only real asset right now is their scouts and I'd like to poach a few to add to super Jim's stable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got an owner who isn't afraid to spend money (especially since there's a good reason for the expenditure). Time to exercise a bit of the financial muscle under our disposal.

My guess is he'd take less money per year but wants 7-8 years Yeah there is no way he'd sign for less than 7 years. Any player can get a career ending injury at any time so no way he would sign for only 5 years as this may be his last contract in the NHL. $9.5 million over 7 years is probably what teams are looking at on July 1.

Ditching their three big guys will mean they will have trouble reaching the cap floor. No need to shed more salary at that point. Matbe Ottawa takes on som big dead cap contract to reach the floor. I am not sure if they are allowed to get one like Horton and take him off LTIR to use his cap hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She had a surgeon on there who specialized in dzingle enlargements. $10,000.00 per inch!!!!! So I phoned his receptionist thinking I could make an extra 20-30 k.

Provost Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 We are starting to get in the territory of Ottawa screwing this up. Today is the day to make the deal. Word from the TSN guys had been that the other GMs wanted deals done already and that potential suitors may be considering alternative plans to avoid being stuck as bridesmaids right at the deadline. No way Stone or any rental is worth two 1st round picks and two top prospects, that is the word on the ask right now. Ottawa would be so screwed if they mess this up and are stuck with any of these guys after the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
