Sounds like the cost as of right now would be ceci, white and à first.  A little bit too rich for my blood

I read in one of the Garrioch articles that they want a roster D (Ceci, for example), top prospect (White/Chabot/Brown), a 1st, PLUS. 

Come on. This isn't Stamkos getting moved. That's an absurd ask. I'm sure it's just posturing, but I kind of hope everyone just hangs up when Sakic comes calling.

This is how negotiations start. I think the very highest price it will cost is Ceci and a 1st and maybe a warm body like Lazar or Nick Paul. [/quote

So now Adrian Dater is already saying a young established D and a 1st could get you Duchene. Just like I said...

Yeah, I'm not sure why people buy in to what is being the "reported asking price", as this is all negotiation tactics. Like Drouin, this could come down to the Sens not wanting to part with Seesee.

Yup. Add Duchene to the list... and don't forget Taylor Hall.

Were we supposed to be in on Hall?

Done deal if we had given up the Cecer... Oh well...

Rumor mill seems awfully quiet. What changes do you think they Sens make at or before the trade deadline (if any)?

I don't think we're going to see anything substantial from the Sens, unless they get a good deal on a player who a team is trading away instead of potentially losing at the expansion draft. Now that Claesson is playing decent that kind of takes care of a depth defenceman, and with Wingels looking good, our forwards are OK.

Trading for Duchene (or whoever) would be nice, but could further complicate our expansion draft protection list in addition to costing too much in Dorion's eyes.

If Ottawa goes on a really good tear here, though, and gets in a zone, maybe the Sens go "all in" here....

Found this odd:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Duchene

Lists Duchene as a Buffalo Saber

It'll be interesting to see what, if anything, happens. At first Garrioch said he didn't expect any more moves from Dorion, but since then I've heard Dreger, Duthie and even Garrioch saying that Dorion is looking to upgrade.

It's pretty much expected that Montreal will be loading up and maybe the Sens will have to do something to keep up.

Vrbata's name has been brought up a few times.

As long as he doesn't cost that much - and I think he might get a 2nd at the deadline - which, I don't think'll be worth for the Sens to do.

Still would like a third line RW that pushes Pyatt down to 4th line and takes Lazar out as the 13th forward and Neil as the 14th.

Vrbata has 34 points and is $1M for only this year, so he's a pretty valuable trade chip me thinks.

Especially that we don't have any 2nd rounders for the next two drafts.

So a good prospect like Chlapik for a rental...don't really think it's a great idea right now.

Im not enamoured with the idea of rentals. I don't see why we are going all in. If we should make a move it should be for a player with contract attached to it. I don't mean to always bring it back to the duch but...
