Will the Sens be "all-in" on Zach Parise?

In all honesty, I think the guy the Sens end up with is Bobby Ryan if there is a big named winger coming back. Fits into Ottawa plans like a glove.

I doubt either GM will let such a player walk away for free.

I was gonna say that, yeah. And the team that gives up a 1st + prospect + to get either one will likely make a major push to re-sign. That's why I don't like banking on UFAs, but...if they're around when July 1 comes around, I'm sure we'll be in on them with bells on.

I think this is the perfect year to give up that 1st. You can pick up a guy young enough via trade that you don't need to pick anyone.

Problem there is we're competing with 15 other teams and the price might be too high, but yes, him or Perry would be great.

you guys are living in a dream world. The only player we are going to to trade for is Malkin.

Yeah. The price is always "too high" then we end up getting the player we couldn't afford. I'm very optimistic.

There are parameters on that IMO. Yes, I agree if the right player is involved, but it can't be for someone in their 30s, if we give up a 1st, it has to be for someone in their prime who's under contract. We still can't afford to roll the dice as I'm sure you'd agree.

1.Bobby Ryan
2.Corey Perry
3.Ryan Getzlaf
4.Ryan Suter (with an agreement in place)
5.Zach Parise (with an agreement in place).

Those kind of guys. Maybe even someone like Bogosian.

We can wait for Bogo to become UFA and sign sign with his favourite team: YOUR. OTTAWA. SENATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORES!!!!

That never works though.

What I'd really like to see is an "all in"-themed picture of Bryan Murray dressed like a poker jacka$s with dark glasses and sponsored ball cap.

How many of those 15 teams can take a 5.5 mil cap hit for 4 years without having to trade back a cent?

This!

But seriously, a name like Ryan, Ottawa has the pieces to get.

I dunno...7 or 8? I know what you're saying, but you know how this works, bidding wars can be damaging. That said...Murray must be salivating at the thought of getting either one of his draft picks Perry or Getz or a sniping winger who's big to boot in Ryan.

I think I speak for all when I say...go Murray!

If Ottawa doesn't trade anyone in the top 6, Smith, of the 2 studs on the blue... they are fine. Silfverberg, Lehner, and Zibanejad are probably off limits too... probably Borowiecki

Ottawa has a 1st round draft pick, 2 3rds, Noesen, Peumpel, Stone, Weiroich, Gryba, Prince, Hoffman, Da Costa. On the current team Butler, Foligno (even though they should try and avoid that), Daugavins, those guys can all be moved. There is plently of assets to make a trade.

No way a star player goes back for any of Nash, Parise, or Ryan.

If Nashville deals Suter at the deadline while Nashville is still in playoff contention you can bet Weber doesn't re-sign there either. That would set them back 10 years and probably the death of that organization.

Ryan is a RH shot, how many more of those can we possible have ? (our PP would be lopsided lol). He always struck me as a huge douche as well.

I refuse to believe Anaheim will trade any of their big 3 (and if they do it will be Ryan). Perry was the Hart winner last year, you don't trade players like that (and if you do it would be a massive overpayment).

If it was a trade like Butler, 1st rounder (2012) Stone, Wiercoich for Ryan... good luck to any team trying to top that with the cap space to take Ryan.

Whiel I agree that Cowen and Karlsson are 100% off limits, and so are Spezza, Michalek, Turris, I doubt we can land one of the big 3 in Anaheim without letting go of Z-Bad + 1st + something else of consequence. Maybe Puempel, maybe Noesen, but if I was Anaheim I'd ask for something a little better - like Cowen + 1st for Ryan + Sbisa. Which I would NOT do personally.

I don't like that deal for Anaheim at all personally.
