Who does BM trade?

With Shannon, Regin, Donovan, Kelly, Winchester, and Karlsson(2-way)/Picard/Campoli all fighting it out for roster spots, who do think BM is making calls about right now? Who do you think will get traded/waived/sent down? Someone has to go and any of them would almost immediately get picked up on the waiver wire. What happens next?

I would say Kelly, Shannon, and Campoli are the 3 likely candidates right now. A lot of teams struggling to score in The West and Murray might be able to get a draft pick or two to move up in this years draft if need be.

My bad, that's what I meant. I was trying to single him out as the only player in that list that can be sent down.

Even with EK going to Bingo, what about the forward situation with Shannon and Winch not having spots on the current roster once everyone's healthy?

Sens seem bent on keeping Karlsson here and let him develop in the NHL, still doesn't sound like that's in the card.

Campoli will probably sit.

Karlsson isnt going anywhere. What he can learn in the AHL is minimal because of how dominate he will be. What they want him to learn he is going to have to struggle with at first, it's as simple as that. You learn from your mistakes just like in school.

Really? Kelly? I'm surprised. I can't decide, but I think Kelly has proved his worth on the 4th line. I know he's expensive for that role, but still.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Shannon and Campoli (unless EK goes down) traded, but that still leaves Winch without a spot. That means either Kelly, Dono, or Winch get traded/scratched.

I was just saying Kelly has engraved himself in the lineup as that 4th line center, he's been great. 2.1 mil is a hefty price tag though. I really think Campoli and Shannon will be the odds guys out, they have both been garbage thus far. They looked good on an awful team and look awful on a good team.

Kelly showing his worth again... 2.1 mil is just tough to take, but if Neil is worth 2 I guess Kelly is worth 2.1...

I dont see Dono coming out honestly but if they wanna get Winchester in there then they gotta I guess... Cant take out Ruutu or Kelly at this point both have been great.

That's why I didn't include Ruutu in the list of players at the top of the thread. I only included Kelly because his name is one of the first I usually hear when Sens trade talks start up.

Shannon is probably going to be traded, but until everybody's healthy for al ong period of time, I don't see why should we trade anybody now, unless we can get a 2nd rounder.

We have 1 forward too many, so something is going to give there. 13 is plenty.
