Andy Sutton to Ottawa!

Scott Gordon (NYI Head Coach) on Andy Sutton: "I don't think Ottawa realizes how much of a player they got. It's a very good acquisition for them."

Nice, I like that a lot.

I think this Sutton kid has a bright future in the NHL.

Source?

It's a good deal for a 2nd rounder, again, look at what guys are going for right now. Murray swopped in while everyone else was trying to obtain other guys.

And hemlock. He's been pretty clear about that.

He doesn't count

So two people don't like it then, lol.

I'm not in love with it either, but looking around the league I don't see what the other options were. I also have a feeling that Melnyk pushed for a move too.

Also, who knows what happens before the draft. If we deal Leclaire, you are probably getting a 2nd rounder back. Look at a team like Edmonton who has an extra one now, you may very well get that back.

Just because Murray doesnt have a 2nd now for those who love their 2nd round picks, doesnt mean he wont have one later. There are a few guys that could very well be on their way out after this season depending on the goaltending and who Murray resigns.

Sutton for a 2nd is a little heavy but if it translate to an extra home game or two for The Sens (I think that's 8-10 million dollars) then Im sure Melknyk will be pretty happy, along with Murray.

A 2nd for Leclaire? There are so many other options for Edmonton.

Like what? Who are they going to have in goal next year that they wont have to give up a ton for? Khabibulin is probably done, their two goaltenders right now are awful. There are probably a couple guys out there like Schiender who they can probably obtain but other then that... they are limited to say the least.

Tons of UFA goalies this year. Guys like Turco, Ellis and Emery, Biron and Nabokov come to mind.

That's not even counting prospects who could be available who would be good fits like Schneider, ect.

Leclaire is not a good fit for that team right now.

They're saying the Sens are done. But I wonder if the Kuba injury changes that

Could be right.

Yep. It's not personal against Sutton. He's not the issue. It's the trade for a defensive defenceman that really has me shaking my head.

Did he make it in for the game? I only saw snippets while doing the dishes.

Nah, he will join the team tonight, practice and play Thurs. I hope Kuba is alright because if he is out for an extended period of time The Sens are in trouble.

Please Murray get someone who can help this powerplay!!!!!

Kuba is that guy, sorry to tell you. Wont get a better D then Kuba right now in that aspect, or Karlsson for that matter.
