Also another question. Why on earth did it come down to the last minute with mark stone? Could they not get a clear indication he did not want to play for Ottawa anymore? How hard can that conversation be? It’s a simple yes or no. Isn’t anyone else finding Dorion isnaptitude at managing players and their contract talks worrysome?

The stone deal is a top prospect and a 2ndofr 8years of markstone. Doesn’t matter how you shake it, Vegas got a bargain. I’m happy with Brannstrom but we should have cashed a lot more. Oscar isn’t likely staying and even if he does, big woopy.

We basically got 2 high B prospects with bustability and at best a mid level 1st for duchene.which is.... meh. The only way this turns into a good deal is if Duchene signs another contract with Columbus and they suck from hell to high water next year and we wind up with a top 5 pick from that conditional. But does anyone actually believe he’s not gonna test the open market at this point?

You basically answered your question/concerns yourself. The return we got for Duchene was a return for a rental player most likely. It was a fair price in my opinion and I’ll be happy to get that first that’s going to be around 15-20. If Columbus misses the playoffs then they got hosed on the deal. And hell there’s still a decent chance Duchene returns to Ottawa although I’m not banking on that.

Dzingel, same thing, rental return but in that case it looks like they actually got a potentially comparable player in Duclair plus picks. Hes the only guy I would have traded even if they were a real team this year who signed Stone, Duchene etc

Doesn’t really matter now, we’ll see what the picks become in a few years down the road as well as the prospects we got.

Anything after 10 in this draft is a big drop in talent. Sure, it may be a 1st, but I’m still unimpressed with all things Sens lately.

Yeah I heard of him before but have watched his scouting film more and if he’s even close to lafreniere in skill then you’d have to take that kind of huge skilled centre based on our need.
