Do you like the league helping them to be super competitive right away? I feel like I do. Of course. The last thing you want, in a new market, is a crappy product like the Thrashers were. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's bigger than that. As a hockey fan in general, I just don't need to see the senators coming back into the league ever again 😂 they were so bad when they came back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Would you go 5x10 or 10.5 for Dougie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much rather do that than 7x9.5 but would he want to leave $10+ Million on the table to take a shorter deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right. I'm sure someone will offer that. Damn. Would I offer 7x10.5? I'm not going to lie... I'd consider it. Like legitimately. I'm not a big blow your wad on FA guy, but he's a damn unicorn.

Well, we gotta spend our money at some point and, if he gets to UFA, he's one of the few types that would be worth it. We'd have to go that high for him, for sure. He's only turning 28 so we'd get 4-5 years of great play out of him, at least, before he would potentially begin to fall off, one would think.

beekay414 Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 It's funny that you mentioned the Senators but not the Lightning. They were a joke a lot longer than the Sens were. One playoff appearance in their first 10 years. 12 years in, they got a cup though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd trade our fourth for his negotiation rights in a heartbeat if we really want to make a push. Hell, maybe our third depending on the trade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's all bottom of the barrel types that have the space, you'd think he'd have us near the top of his preferred teams. Massive RHD hole at the top, massive cap room, Jack Hughes.
