GB5 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 but bit.... we have Louie if you need to get to the cap floor so badly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Provost Posted December 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) I actually don’t think Ottawa is going to be the pushover that many seem to think. Short season, weird division, any of the Canadian teams can make the playoffs really. Also, Ottawa is now pretty much a cap team if you include potential bonuses. They could make room by putting Gaborik on LTIR... but they are nowhere near a floor team. In real dollars their salary expenditure isn’t much less than ours.

rekker Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I've really liked a lot of the Sens moves and I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Good deal for Arizona they are, sorta, hurting for draft picks cash... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakrami Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Wow lucky for Arizona to make that trade and get a 2nd back in this market. Now they are within cap lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No kidding eh, would have thought Stepan could be had for a mid to late round pick considering his decline and big cap hit, sure a low salary for this final season but why would Ottawa offer anything close to a 2nd to Help Arizona shed cap??

Arizona did not have to shed cap. Putting Hossa on LTIR would have made them cap compliant. Melnyk expects his team to be competitive this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Wild, is Stepan even worth a 2nd at this point? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Stepan will help the kids develop. Then at the deadline, barring a miracle run by Ottawa, they will retain half his cap hit and recoup the pick... maybe even a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RakuRaku Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Looks like the Coyotes have given up on the season before it even got started!! Their offseason transactions said it all!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing With Pride Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I don't understand this trade. Seems like an over payment. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I’m a little surprised Ottawa gave up a 2nd. Seems like a lot to give for Stepan these days. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Not sure how Arizona isn't the one giving the pick here... Stepan looked like a shadow of his former self last season... Sens overall have done well this off season though so I guess I'll give em the benefit of the doubt here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep trying to predict how the north division will wind up and I just can’t come to a conclusion. The division will be wide open this year. Gonna make for an entertaining season! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigerian Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Ottawa has to have some sort of vet presence and Stepan can bring just that. Ottawa is going to be a force in a few years. The turn around they’re going to face is going to be astronomical. As long as that cheap owner will pay his young guns once they get to that point and don’t do any silly Zibenajad for Brassard lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it's because they missed out on poaching anyone from TB due to Kucherov's LTIR. Could also do worse than to pick up Stepan who's on an expiring deal. If Stepan is at least serviceable that would really help them (also wise of them to avoid any of the term that comes with Pacioretty/ Johnson).

Outsiders Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 OTT you could have just taken Sutter from us for free and saved your 2nd! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
