Deadline moves.

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.

Turris is an assistant captain, and plays incredible D along with being a very good playmaker. He is sticking around long term, despite his size. Not really debatable, the org loves him. If they had to choose between the two Turris stays every time.

I believe the org will try its best to move wier today. Possibly for a 3-4th round pick. They just won't qualify him next year so might as well.

Just got to wait till Russell and hamuis go.

Yeah. I would agree. If the org could land a guy with number 1 center or one with that potential that would be great (even though I highly doubt they will, it's a hard task). Then you have turris as an incredibly good 2 C. This team is dangerous.

I just don't see anyone *available* (sorry dreamers, duschene isn't on the market) that we could bring in.

I wouldn't at all mind Craig smith, who has a lot of untapped skill and potential

It was like this last year wasn't it?

Anyway. I hope Ottawa does something. Murray can't improve this team by continuing to sit on his hands and hope that prospects pan out. With Turris and Ryan? hurt, I'd look at this as an opportunity to start trading off players for picks and thinking about the future. This includes moving Hoffman today. His return is at its peak now - a 25+ goal scorer, restricted, and a cheap $$ add for a playoff team.

Safe to say that the balance of power in both conferences just shifted dramatically.

There will be at least 1 top 6 centre available. You just have to be willing to move the necessary assets.

Marty Biron just absolutely smoked Jennifer Hedger with the T-shirt cannon. I was going to make a joke on Twitter about being surprised any women got hit without Aaron Ward on the set, but took the high road.

here we go.  Looks like boedker has been traded according to dreger

EDIT: destination appears to be Colorado

Boedker to the Avs??

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie · 6s6 seconds ago

Per @DarrenDreger, Boedker to COL. Pending trade call.

Couldn't moving a C to the W be considered "moving one of the centers for an upgrade on the wing"?
