Because Turris was doing so much to help us win?

What else is there to discuss.  

Plausible trades of players actually rumoured to be available? FA ?

That's no fun.  

the reality is never as fun as fantasy.
We are likely starting the next year with Zib as our second C. Deal with it.

50/50 at best that happens.  Sens want to get serious about competing,  they upgrade C.

Sens management are still very hopeful about Zib. I haven't heard it anywhere that they are even considerating moving him. Last time that was discussed was a few summers ago.

Wasn't it last year Murray tried to trade zibanejad for kadri?   ZBad is not safe in the least  they know they can't win a cup with turris and zbad down the middle

Two years ago

Maybe first. Turris is going back on the IR, possibly shutting down for the season. He's been playing on a high ankle sprain. If Zibanejad steps up and figures it out he certainly has the build over Turris to be the 1C.

Diddle I'd love Brodin, then phaneuf can move to the right or Brodin plays the right, which he's quite proficient at and Ceci plays with Boro . Set for years and years

Ideally you keep both and add a 1C. When White is ready you look at making room for him. Smith and Lazar on the wings. Use the 1st rd pick this year, Hoffman, Prince, etc and go after Duchene.

Mac-Duchene-Ryan
Paul-Turris-Stone
Smith-Zib-Lazar
Dzingel-Pageau-Neil

Very weak on the left side but strong down the middle for sure.

Mmmm duchene

If you get Duschene then you move Zibanejad or Turris to upgrade on the wing. Both are better than a 3C. Turris is already a very good 2C but ZBad has the size (Duchene and Turris as your 1-2 is a bit light). As much as I like Turris, if it's Duchene then I'd have to go with ZBad.

Hell no. Turris is and always will be better than zbad.

I hope we're kicking the tires on Kerby rychel.

He is, now, and I said as much, but who would be a bigger 2C is the question. And with Duchene at under 6' ZIbanejad's size cannot be ignored.

Turris will not be moved. Too good. ZBad is the expendable one if the Sens bring in another C. There's not even a doubt here Prags.

Duchene's pretty stocky though

We'll see. Pretty obvious Murray didn't think so last year or even as late as September this year.

I don't know what you're referring to, but he is not moving Turris. He's not going to move ZBad today either since we're super thin at C with Turris out.

Not talking about this year, come on. Talking about having to make a decision in the future, because both Turris and ZBad are better than a 3C (and then you have Pageau/White/Lazar/Paul fighting for the 4C spot?)

If we get Duchene as the 1C then we will need to move one of the other centers (if not more) for an upgrade on the wing. That was my primary point -- it went against the OP's assertion that you would have Duchene-Turris-Zibanejad down the middle. The secondary point was which one to keep. No-one is arguing that Turris is better right now, as the 1C, between him and ZBad. But you have to consider all the parameters, including the fact that you would have Duchene (5'11" 200 lbs -- which I don't believe) and Turris (6'1", 190 lbs) down the middle.

Not watching but TSN/Sportsnet hosts must be going nuts by now.

I saw on twitter that the sens' prime minister mascots are there. That's probably about the most entertaining thing you'll see all day.
