Filatov to Ottawa?

Foligno has upside, but he looks quite slow, don't know what his final potential is but it might be 3rd liner.

If by quite slow you mean the 2nd fastest player on the Sens?

He can also fly an airplane.

Alright then. Sign him up for a two year deal at 5M per.

Where do I sign?

Or Murray has decided that the Campoli experiment has failed? Then you're looking at Campoli, Lee and whatever for Filatov and Russell. Maybe.

Either way, this deal will be done by noon tomorrow.

Campoli, Lee and a 1st or Foligno.

I'm not sure if it will be noon Eastern or Central, though. Sorry.

I would think that Lee/Campoli and Foligno for Filatov and a mid-round pick would work for both sides.

That's more like it in all honesty. Foligno + 1st Round Pick + for Filatov. No less. The kid might look like a pre-teen girl, but he'll fill out (muscle that is ) eventually and be diddling wicked.

Would you actually do this? Honestly?

I would personally hunt down Bryan Murray and shoot him in the face if he did that.

I would do Foligno, Lee, and 2nd for Filatov and maybe some other mid tier prospect the Sens like...

Thank goodness for context. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I said what I said, ok?

I can see the headline now:

Nikita Filottawa bound?

I don't think Foligno's going anywhere guys. I don't know how his name got thrown into the mix, but I just can't see Murray moving him with the way he's been playing so far this year on the third line. He's such a great energy player, I really think that he's the second coming of Fisher- he plays a very similar role, and is still very young. I think we'd be ridiculous to get rid of him right now.

I think it's especially true to get rid of him for a guy who isn't even in the NHL, and isn't here because he wasn't good enough to be here.

Just my two cents.

Foligno and a 1st? Yes, I believe I would. It would be a tough choice because Foligno is a future leader of the team, is fast, works hard, is starting to come together as a player, but the thought of Filatov would be enough for me to take the chance.

I agree for the most part, but the reason Filatov isn't here is because he weighs a buck fifty - if that. Once he fills out...cheese and rice, he'll be amazing.

I'm told that the AHL player in question is Jordan LaVallee-Smotherman or possibly Goucester native Grant Clitsome.

Not really, but people say Dung like that so I thought I would too.

Seriously guys, Kovalev and Filatov are completely different, as is Foligno. Foligno is tougher, but he plays peripheral way too much, doesn't have the hands, the speed, Filatov is the exact opposite and he drives the net more. I like FOligno, but we have 2-3 guys like him already.
I am not saying Filatov is the second coming, but the way he plays, he would help the Sens way more than Foligno.
I see your point that there is some risk, but there was also some risk with Leclaire as there was some risk with Cowen. Filatov is not ready, but that`s why he is a prospect. Hasn't proved anything, but way more potential.

About Volchenkov, if both him and Seabrook were on the market, I can assure you that Seabrook will get a better return, so Volchenkov for Seabrook+ ain't happening.

I'm not sure that he would. I dunno maybe I'm a homer, but I see Volch as being far more valuable than Seabrook. They're completely different players, so it's kind of hard to compare the two, but in my mind Chicago could benefit from Volchenkov far more than Seabrook. Thinking about it, it would make their D pretty dynamic and scary.

Seriously, imagine Buff and A-Train running around out there. Very scary stuff. Not sure if Buff still plays D though or if he was moved to F permanently.
