Ottawa Senators 2007-2008 Season Thread
Just a suggestion, but an all in one thread for the whole season, makes it easier to keep up with everything.
Also fun because it'll probably be the most posts out of any thread ever by the time we clinch the Cup in June!Donny Vantage NFL Guru, since 1974

There will be Cup party unless they get a GOOD second line Center that can score. The 1st line might be the Best in Hockey...but when you break them up to try and get scoring from the second line it hurts both lines.
They have cap room to buy a player near the end, but can they trade for one now....what they could give that does not hurt them and helps the other team????
Looking for the player that fits Ottawa's needs and where to find him and have what the other team needs...
Let say Shane Doan from the Coyotes - I think a perfect fit - He is tough, can score goals and set up his line mates - what could you trade that the Coyotes.
Phoenix does not any help on the blue line or in nets now.
So what would you offer to get this type of player.
Use any player from any team - what or who would you trade to make it happen???
I'm trading Vermette and Foligno for Shane Doan
would that be to much or not good enough?

My wife would be pretty upset if they trade Vermette.
A tough loss last night with Eaves, especially when HE was the one delivering the hit.
I think we should trade Emery, we can get great value!Donny Vantage NFL Guru, since 1974

Yup my daughter would not be happy. She seems him every day when she goes to work - She works at scotiabank place...and to quote her "Dad, he's so HOT"
Trade Emery for what and to where..if he is a great Value?
If you say trade a player you should show or post what the trade would be if you were trying to do the trade?
What do you think it's your thread

We have two very highly paid goalies, essentially both paid as number 1 goalies. Emery's stock is still high after last year's season, but I personally believe he lacks the fundamentals to be a great goaltender. I don't like the way he takes his angles, and I don't like how he handles the rebounds. What we can get for him, that depends on what we need. I wouldn't make any trade right now, I'd wait until February. Injuries can dismantle our Cup run, but with Emery we can compensate by trading him in return for skilled replacement players. If we don't suffer any injuries, I would pick up a second tier offensive defenseman and a solid stay at home defender.

So you thnk they need help on the Blueline to win the Cup?
Just think you and I know "nothing" as in the Hockey Big shot world but we both see the faults with Emery - what do you think the Smart minds of Hockey see? Why would another GM want him if he lacks the fundamentals, can't control rebounds - to fill a need because the other Teams starter got hurt - Maybe - but that is one heck of a contract to pick up to replace an injured palyer...I would grap CUJO for less money than Emery if i need help in nets.
This is fun - thanks for starting this thread

I don't think that Emery holds much value...........NOW.
Brian Burke just let Bryzgalov go for nothing other than waivers compensation - to me that means there was no buyer for a goalie and Bryzgalov is certainly in the same "league" as Emery is

Good point on the brains in the NHL knowing Emery's faults. Thing is, why did we sign him for THAT much, still bothers me.

I would like to see Vermette play with Spez/heater! Find somone to play with Alfie and Fisher. Kelly, Neil, Eaves as a third line, Donovan, Macammond, Schubert as a 4th. pick up a shutdown D-man. they really dont need another D-man that pinches, ie last night againt Buffalo. I feel kinda bad for Emery but he has to go! He needs ice time to play well.

better fill this in first....I know Vermette and Spezza are both Centers but I think Spezza would be better on the wing, and have both of these guys able to be on the ice for key faceoffs.

Very good point Dave. He's not a rent-a-goalie.

I believe that Bryz would have jumped at the chance to sign a contract extension and then be traded to a team that would play him.......Burke obviously couldn't find a dance partner for a trade.
As for a HUGE difference I will agree there. Bryz isn't the one making close to 4 million dollars a year with ahistory of missing flights, fits or road rage, less than perfect practice habits and all kinds of other alleged "bad habits"............
