Thread: Zayne Parekh or Tij Iginla YOU ARE A SENATOR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>poeticentropy</b></div><div>So I take it you don't think they should forfeit the pick this year?</div></div>
Unless you are really convinced you are going to be picking 6th OA or less in BOTH the 2025 AND 2026 drafts, why the hell would you forfeit a 7th OA pick?

I need some reasoning

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caufield</b></div><div>1. Celebrini, that's a lock
2. Demidov, don't see CHI skipping on a Bedard-Demidov duo
3. Lev, ANA 100% picks him with this opportunity.
4. Lindstrom. It seems like its been a decent amount of time that Lindstrom to CLB will happen if the chance is there
5. Iginla. Only way its not would be Sennecke here, but Tij seems like someone Hughes would prize
6. Parekh. Utah gets the best RD on the board</div></div>
Then Ottawa picks up Silayev. Problem solved. He's ranked twice by Bob and THN, and top-5 by several other sources.

Not sure why you said "That should leave Catton or Sennecke" then

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>speaking of idiocy.. here you go again....
1st it was his second year, he got a 20 game taste last year. Second he's 21 now.
guess what Stutzle at the same age put up 58 points in his 2nd year as well.

Which tells you all you need to know about trying to find some reason for it.
You are what you are in this league. Now what some hopes and dreams internet clown thinks.
If you bust out in this year and start counting money it's oh look how they should get paid... But when they flop out the gate it's excuses all around.
prove otherwise then come talk. because if we had to deal with every hopes and dreams nonsense we'd be here all year.</div></div>
Pretty easy to see that you're new to this and life in general

And Stutzle put 90 pts in his 20 y/o season (turned 21 January 15th), I don't think I need you to know how old Sens players are and what they did or not lol

And Greig will never be recognized for only the points he puts on the board , he's an all around complete player with a top notch 2-way game. The vast majority of Sens fans see him as an untouchable despite "only 26 points derp" arguments from brain dead outsiders who know nothing

"<em>You are what you are in this league</em>"

Sigh. Drawing conclusions about young players who didn't even play a 100 games in the NHL is one of the stupidest things one could do. Lack of knowledge and experience is so obvious.

I'm all for getting Buchnevich but Greig is one of my untouchables (with Stutzle, Pinto and Sanderson)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rooster</b></div><div>The first trade is horrible for Washington. Why on earth would they ever contemplate this deal? Chabot is an oft-injured shadow of his former self on an untradeable contract. And I am a Sens fan. He's staying put because no one wants to pay $8 mil for his 50 games a year.

The St. Louis trade is equally terrible for Ottawa. So we're going to trade a top-9 young prospect who plays like Brad Marchand, along with high draft picks for a facsimile of Drake Batherson? Oh, and we'll need to pay Buchnevich $9 mil a year as a 30-year old once his contract expires. This is exactly the Dorion-esque thinking that has Ottawa in a perpetual losing cycle. No thanks. Keep the picks and prospects.</div></div>
Chabot missed 12 games in 2021-22 and 14 games in 2022-23. 2023-24 is the first season he missed significant time. He's not a "shadow of his former self" in the sense that he paces for a 0.60 PPG pretty much every season and his metrics are still pretty good in general, particularly in terms of transition, zone exits, OZ and DZ play driving

Personally, I am trading Chyhrun and getting Chabot a physical RHD (like when Karlsson got his Methot)

Buchnevich and Batherson are very very different players. Buch is a 2-way forward, Batherson is an offense driver. Problem I have here is the term he has left. Not a very good idea for Ottawa to trade for players without term

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tupty</b></div><div>I'm not sure about Chychrun's value off the top of my head, but I do know that Ottawa paid basically a 1st and 2 2nds for 2.5 seasons, and even that was arguably an overpay. You are proposing a similar value for 1 season of him (Merk is probably not worth a 2nd, but he does have some value like a 3rd or 4th). I doubt Chychrun's value has gone up very much since he was traded and he is now a pending UFA, so I wouldn't give up more than a 1st. If the cost is higher, then another team with more picks/prospects is welcome to pay it.</div></div>
Of course Ottawa will be looking to trade Chychrun to a team that would/could extend him, hence not for 1 season``

And not all 1sts are equal, it was a 12th OA pick.

Ottawa would only be interested in that offer if they are interested in Merkulov
