I'm sure Gene will let me hang on to my schnozz if I get the 1st round NYI pick and have a crack at Tavares.

Yeah its not bad if we're "not chasing the playoffs" - or "tanking" for short - but if we are in fact doing that, then Gerber should remain with us and Elliott should go back to Bingo.Cap'n Clutch wrote:I haven't done this in ages and I thought it might be interesting to do this based on what you think the team looks like post Trade Deadline. Here is what I see happening.
Heatley Spezza Alfredsson
Foligno Zubov Shannon
Donovan Fisher Winchester
Ruutu Bass Z. Smith
Traded: McAmmond, Neil, Vermette, Kelly, Schubert
Lee - Phillips
Picard - Volchenkov
Bell - Smith
Traded: Kuba
Elliot
Auld
Waived: Gerber
Keep in mind this is just post Deadline and not at all what I expect breaking training camp in 09/10.

We would be stupid to trade an entering his prime Spezza for an entering the NHL Tavares.SeawaySensFan wrote:504Heater wrote:If I'm Melnyk, I don't let you trade Spezza. It's cutting off your nose in spite of your face.

No. His value is way higher than that I'd say. On a good team we know he's good for 20-25 goals, can kill penalties and is a top face off guy. I think he could fetch more than a 3rd easily...or should anyway.

I'm not one to promote trading Kelly, but calling his last two games a "no-show" is being way too kind - he was dreadful! Regardless, I would rather keep Kelly and trade Vermette. I've always felt that way about those two...Sens4thecup wrote:I'm glad that most people have Kelly on their lists for traded away. During Murray's auditioning (last two games) Kelly was a relative no-show. (my opinion anyway.)
I also worry that fans are disillusioned with the Senator's past two wins. The feeling that I got today from fellow co-workers (and people here) is that the Senators slump is over and that they are going to make the playoffs. This seems to me to be a bit of a deja-vu from last year. (making the playoffs and being swept in 4)
Please don't get me wrong, I would love to see our beloved Ottawa Senators charge up the standings and rip up all teams that are in the way. I just don't see it happening. Sorry.

Because none of those other teams are paying 6 million to a supposed center who can't adapt to the wing but can easily adapt to playing the point on the PP.
Vermette has been getting screwed and has been used as a face-off "ringer" for years now.
