Even if he plays managed minutes as a third pairing  d-man, he's a huge asset to have on the powerplay. I can't say the same for Claesson. Don't get me wrong, I like Claesson a lot but I think Chabot will have more of an impact than him.

If there is a way you fit both then sure. Phaneuf can play on his off-side.. But we still have too many d-men on the left, and there is no way Chabot spends the whole year in Bingo so room needs to be made.

All this to say, we are more than fine without Ceci...

I still wouldn't hand him anything. I didn't watch any memorial games but I heard that people expected more from him than he delivered. Unless he is lights outheads above most, I'd start him in Belleville next year. MYbe play half. YeR before calling him up. It be good for Belleville, it be good for his development and it be good for all the other Dman that have made it this far. Even karlsson whent the AHL route.

I know, it be a hell of a risk.

Im assuming that means there will likely be no trade of Ceci this off-season if they are successful in convincing him. Friedman suggest they will try and convince Vegas with a sweetener to pick someone else than Dion. That's seems like a good idea but who? I believe wideman is a possible target since he's a RD but After this off season they might be interested in Claesson. I'd prefer losing Wideman but it does leave us thinner on the right side which isn't ideal. Do we just trade for a righty? Although Dorion has shown he can be active, I'd like the off season focus to be on acquiring a top LW

Why would he want to sign here once the trade is done though?  I think Montreal is perfect for him.

If we lose dion we're in worse shape than if we lose methot.  Such a strange thing for Dorion to do.  Sweeten the pot for them not to take methot, screw messing with dion.

I also firmly believe claesson is going to be a solid blue liner for years to come.

You say that now,  but if he does as a veteran leader for their blue line, Dorion Cussed up LARGE.

Don't see how that would be considered a Diddle up. You would lose Dion's salary and could replace him via trade or signing. Either way, Sens win with Dion waiving his NMC.
