Trade Deadline BONANZA 2015

Wow let's not exaggerate here

Now, if he wants to keep playing as an Ottawa Senator despite the writing on the wall for him and the organization then that's something I can't get on board with.  That's playing for a pay cheque and only a pay cheque, it helps no one.  If he wants to keep playing hockey he should be asking for a trade to a contender.

NEELY wrote:Wouldn't include Cowen either... Wiercioch sure, Gryba sure, Cowen no.  You fill a hole to open up a bigger one?  Maybe if Methot is resigned you can throw Cowen in there but that's it.

NEELY wrote:They can't move Cowen unless Methot is signed, simple as that.

SpezDispensed wrote:Boro will become as good as Cowen - as I don't see an offensive upside to Cowen.  I'm dead serious too, I view Boro as a legit 2nd pairing guy with Ceci in the near future.  If they move Cowen, it's because of Boro IMO.

And that's not even to mention Claesson and Englund.  They could move Cowen...if they sign Methot - in a package for a LEGIT top line LW.

Meh. Detroit will overpay for him because they have played with nothing but LHD for most of the season and have likely not won a single game as a result. Ericsson to Sens, E7.

Petry is a really good frigging D man too... that's a diamond in a giant pile of crap waiting for a chance to play on a decent team.
