timberz21 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) I'm guessing MTL's later 1st rounder and/or 2nd rounder (1st from that round) would be involved, otherwise Anderson/Dvorak is an underwhelming return for the 7th overall. Dorion going all out, since now that Melnyk is gone, whoever takes over as owner (succession or purchase) I'm guessing they'll want to clean the house and start fresh. His days are numbered. I think that would be good for that franchise, especially if they want to invest a little more resources in the front office.

That's what a retooling team needs to do....JR Montreal isn't retooling, they are tearing the entire house down and rebuilding from the foundation up. Vancouver was never in that position. The owners never approved that. Even Gillis talks about this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 This would genuinely be such a god awful deal for Ottawa I couldn't wouldn't be able to describe it in words. Like, the 7th OA for an injured overpaid 3rd line centre with barely 60 points over the last 3 seasons and Dvorak who is gonna walk the second he gets a chance from a divisional rival who is already loading up and shedding cap. They'd LOVE this in Montreal and Hughes would be a god. Meanwhile in Ottawa they'd be thinking Redden is totally better than Chara again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70seven Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) Not to mention all the cap flex for MTL watch them poach Malkin and Letang Edited July 6, 2022 by 70seven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 This would be brutal for the Sens. 7th overall has a good chance of being better than either player. Then you can use the cap space to sign a free agent who's also better than both players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Drunken Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) Seems like an underwhelming return for #7 oa? This doesn't pass the smell test... Edited July 6, 2022 by Harold Drunken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flickyoursedin Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I’d rather have Garland with contracts involved over both Anderson and Dvorak. If the Canucks are interested in a guy like Marchment and clearing cap I’d be happy with Garland for 7th and signing Marchment for a portion of that Garland cap space.

DownUndaCanuck Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Smart move, now's the time to do a fast crash rebuild. Selling now and they'll be bottom feeders next year too, this is how the good teams win Cups these days. They just need to get a few years of top 5 picks in a row and they'll be good to go.

If they really like a player you eliminate the risk of drafting a Virtanen or Juolevi. I’ll admit Anderson and Dvorak are very underwhelming names for the 7th overall but Ottawa be crazy. They did just draft Tyler Boucher (ranked late 1rst-2nd round pick) 10th overall just last year. Also maybe Ottawa would be dumping that Matt Murray contract in the deal with the 7th overall.

If they really like Anderson/Dvorak, both should be available for much cheaper. If that's MTL's asking price, best to walk away. Boucher was a huge reach. Hopefully for their sake they learned from that going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but that's all the more reason to draft and develop your own players. Could trade 7th OA and have the players demand out right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s referencing a recent article by Habs beat reporter Marco D’Amico: There’s not a lot of meat to chew on in the article. It basically just says the Sens and Habs are talking (like pretty much every team is right now), Ottawa is open to trading their pick (for the right return—like pretty much every team), and speculates that the Sens might target roster players like Anderson and Dvorak, as part of a package return for the 7oa pick.

We traded 9 guenther basically for garland so not out of the world of possible Amderson is so inconsistent in both his play and health I could never be happy about eating his contract id be very unhappy if I was a sens fan and they did that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 It's a confusing thought, a team trading the #7 overall for a couple of mid/late-20 year old middle 6 wingers, but OTT hasn't been a good playoff team in a long time and they want back in the playoffs. Adding a couple of big, seasoned middle 6 players to their young core, might help them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
