			<description><![CDATA[I think Rick Nash is a declining force in the NHL, maybe it's because he is "hidden" in Columbus, but I just can't justify getting an older player like that in exchange for so much young talent. Columbus' asking price is way too inflated. I'd be more inclined to pursue someone like Bobby Ryan, who is young and proves to be a 30 goal scorer no matter what. He is top line caliber and instantly imrpoves this team. If you're gonna spend big bucks, spend it wisely.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Shawn Simpson said on the Team 1200 this morning.. that he thinks Columbus would want Cowen. I don't think the Sens would do that.. Greening is one of McLean's favs.. so I don't think he goes anywhere... Mike Richards return was Simmonds Schenn + a 2nd round pick. Question is... how much better is Rick Nash than Mike Richards?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@ Alcatraz & Tookie - The funny thing is, with that trade and all their current prospects they would have a really good rebuild on their hands with a lot of the key pieces, but that sounds so unlike Columbus, they always find a way to f it up. haha A rebuild starting with Zibanejad, Johansen, Brassard, JJ, Wisniewski, Lehner, Jenner would be a pretty decent start though for them.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Well I think the consensus would be that all 3 of those players could be in CBJ starting line-up next year. Yes I know, but they're talking about current roster players, as in this past year. I'm not saying it can't happen, just saying it doesn't line up with any other report. Who are they going to put on their ticket stubs after that trade?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If that is seriously what they want not accepting it is STUPID....Lehne r imho is the only guy that really hurts, and frankly can be replaced this friday relatively easily. Too bad the source is TIGOR lol...Loosing the 15th would possibly hurt but not knowing who it is makes it a bit easier to swallow. I still think it is a long shot at best, there has to be better offers than that. RIch copy and pasting that, will give it a whirl this evening.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ That's 0 roster players! All other reports claim CBJ wants 1-2 roster players, so this would be a bit confusing. I'd definitely do it though, despite who we'd lose. technically speaking da costa and lehner would become roster players for clb and Zibanejad as well perhaps Interesting deal, and one that is interesting for sure. I would love to work it out in a way that we include someone like a prince or condra etc substitute bishop and take back mason mason could be backup this year and lehner still gets his one more year in the AHL]]></description>

Doubt its true but if it is, Murray should jump on that and FAST! Also I would be inclined if I was Murray to take a good hard look at Douglas Murray from the SJ, guy is a beast and SJ have way too much defensive depth to re-sign the guy.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I don't understand the argument that Ottawa would be a one line team if we trade for Nash, we are not trading the other three lines for him. We would still have Turris & Alfredsson who would likely return if we traded for Nash. Our bottom six wouldn't change all that much either so it wouldn't be a one line team. And those that say we need to add defencemen, we can do that on July 1 when free agency starts. If we find that we still need another defencemen during the yr then Murray can trade for one, there are always players available throughout every season. One of the biggest problems Murray might have is that his prospects could be more valuable than most of his roster players. To Columbus: Zibanejad, Michalek, Bishop & Boroweicki To Ottawa: Rick Nash LW - all four can start in Columbus this coming season To New Jersey: Condra, Butler, Pageau & Daugavins To Ottawa: Volchenkov RD - New Jersey gets some cap relief to sign Parise July 1 Free Agency - Sign Bryan Allen LD 2012 NHL Entry Draft - Ottawa moves up & selects Ceci RD - Cody Ceci should be ready to replace Gonchar in a year. Nash - Spezza - Alfredsson Foligno - Turris - Stone Greening - Regin - Silfverberg Z. Smith - JOB - Neil/Konopka - Silfverberg replaces Alfredsson when/if he retires & Noesen replaces Silfverberg as 3rd line RW Cowen - Karlsson Allen - Gonchar Phillips - Volchenkov/Cark ner Anderson - Lehner - if Columbus wants Lehner instead of Bishop, that's fine too. T. Murray will have to find a couple of goalies for Bingo which I'm sure there will be lots to choose from.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I've seen a few posts where people thought bringing in a vet like Aucoin would be ok at a 1 year deal. If were considering Aucoin, what about Gill? He's a massive, well known defensive shot blocking D. This guy has proved his worth more than once and could slide into a top 4 pairing if needed. I believe we heard talk about Wideman at one point as well, not as defensive, but could be made available. The list of UFA's is actually large, I found a good one on capgeek. Again, just throwing out ideas. Update: forget the Wideman comment, someone did their homework, check out this link: http://hockeyanalysis.com/2012/06/11/2012-nhl-free-agent-defensemen/]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ You'd have to believe that if Columbus is moving Nash, they intend to keep the 2nd overall as they will be looking for a new face of the franchise. They could look to deal with Edm for the 1st to get Yakupov, swapping the 2nd to Edmonton (and something else). This gives Edm Murray, as I think that is the guy they are after anyway. Is it just me, or wouldn't it look bad on them if they don't pick Yak with the 1st, so why not make the deal? You're probably right. The only scenario where it could happen would be if the current Columbus regime were looking for players which could help them sooner, since their current jobs and even their NHL managerial careers could be on the line. They already have J Johnson, and Wisniewski, perhaps they will look to bolster their goaltending and forward ranks via trade with that pick and the Nash trade. Again, just my fantasy scenario.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I see greening due for a regression since I doubt he plays alot with Spezza this year and thats really where all his goals came from. he will slot in probably 10-15g I just think that if the opportunity presents itself where we can grab a Rick Nash type player while still having a few elite prospects in the cupbioard, then you go ahead and do it. If Murray can get us a E.Kane for less, then go for that instead, but its very rare that a tema has so many assets that they can be a player in any trade, and if we can capitalize on it then we should because realistically (and its been said before) Puemple, Noesen, Silferberg, Stone, Pageau, Prince, Zibenajad will not all play for our team, especially not all at once, so we need to be smart with our asset management]]></description>

The grit can somewhat be replaced if we resign konopka I agree.

			<description><![CDATA[@Alcatraz, I definitely see your point but I still don't think Nash is going to make us that much more dynamic offensively. He would take away our ability to scatter scoring throughout the lineup as he will cost us scoring we already have and potential scoring down the road. I am very hesitant to add a 7.8M dollar Nash who is dependant on a 7M injury prone Spezza to produce at a level that would make it worthwhile (40+G, 50+A) giving up all those assets for him and still be very exposed on D, even more so than last year. We also have an influx of skill coming up that will help our scoring. And Turris is about as sure as anything to significantly add to the 12 Goals he scored last year. I wouldn't say Greening is "Due" for a regression but you're right, it's questionable he adds to it. i would be very happy if he matched his 17G from last year.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Fair point. I would counter that our top 6 will soon be bolstered by more offensive prospects. Hopefully Greening will be slotted properly on the 3rd line, and Smith potentially on the 4th, at which point we won't count on them for offense. Even if we see our offense slip from 4th in the league, we have seen our defense regress since allowing the 24th most goals against. As is, we have 4 nhl defenseman under contract (Karlsson, Phillips, Cowen and Gonchar). before considering Nash, we should address that. My pie in the sky trade scenario is that Edmonton does not select Ryan Murray, and we could then send some forward/goalten ding depth Columbus's way for that pick.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@Theboss I'm not denying that with karlsson/goncha r/phillips/cowe n we are doing somewhat ok By going after Nash does not limit our ability to trade for hjarmalsson or bring in a solid vet such as aucoin/allen or even go trade route for douglas murray etc My opinion on bringing in Nash should have no bearing on our defense as I don't believe we need to be in the market to leverage our prospects to get a star defensemen since we already have two in Karlsson and Cowen and history shows, no team pays more than 2 dmen over 5 mill which both will end up earning. Look at nashville]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ We are not going to out score our opponents every night. And on nights where we are not scoring, we need to rely on Andy to bail us out because as you've seen, our D has been atrocious as times. We can't leave our goalies out to dry as we've done this past year. Look at what's become of the Caps (high scoring), Ducks, and Tampa (arguable, but Stamkos..) are all teams that dominated with huge firepower... only to be exposed defensively.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The GF thing is accurate but I would also tend to take the cautious side of the debate We are one year removed form being one of the worst offensive teams. Yes Maclean has opened up the system but keep in mind we had a career year from Greening/Smith/ Michalek/Karlss on/Spezza/Folig no in terms of goals for One would argue that some of those names will stay somewhat consistent (spezza/karlsso n) some are due for regression (greening/micha lek) and some are unpredictable (smith/foligno) We aren't a powerhouse offensive team (as seen in playoffs) and reality is still if you shut down Karlsson and Spezza you shut down our offense. Thats why having another bonofide star forward would make us that much more consistent, and powerful]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Not entirely sure. I think to get a defenceman, Murray is considering the trade route. The Hjalmarsson rumors are apparently accurate. I don't have any problem drafting defencemen. We drafted Erik Karlsson, didn't we? Too many good D prospects this year to pass up. I agree on the D front, I would be all over getting a better D core built, then shopping for a scoring winger, but it's been mentioned that BM wants both. So naturally the Nash talk is big. But from a D side, Hjalmarsson is the biggest name rumoured to us, the other that has come up in the past is Zbynek Michalek. Are they looking to shop, no I don't think so. But for the right price, he could be made available. It was mentioned again on the Team by McGuire that Pitts has a very good core of up and coming D and they could be looking to shed some salary to bring 1 or 2 of these guys up. Hard to say what the price would be, a prospect and pick I'd guess?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Not entirely sure. I think to get a defenceman, Murray is considering the trade route. The Hjalmarsson rumors are apparently accurate. I don't have any problem drafting defencemen. We drafted Erik Karlsson, didn't we? Too many good D prospects this year to pass up.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[WPG apparently may lose Pavelec to the KHL. Perhaps we can get Evander Kane off of them...? Would be A LOT cheaper than going after Nash. What would it take, do you think, to get Kane? Bishop+Prospect ? Also, I agree with LordAlfie11. We didn't have trouble scoring goals, we had trouble preventing them. Our focus should be upgrading the blueline. Would you guys do "the proposed" Smith for Hjalmarsson?]]></description>

It's funny to think people believe this is really going to happen. We're not getting Nash. Let's get a top 4 D first before we even think about big name players like that. This team was horrible defensively last year.]]></description>

I don't agree with that logic. our organization is weakest on D, we should shore that up before making any other moves.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Agreed. Matt Puempel is one of our best prospects and has been overlooked because of his injury. He's probably the most pure goal scoring young asset that we've drafted in years. There was a reason why they traded up to get this guy. Why would they be willing to get rid of him so quickly? I said it before, the moment Ott trades Matt they give up on one of the best offensive prospects in the league.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[How selfish do you think Spezza is? If he is a team player he would realize he is one or two years away from having a consistent 30 goal scorer (i.e, Rick Nash) on his wing. Could even happen this year. One of those 5 main forward prospects are going to meet expectations and be a consistent 30 goal scorer. I can't imagine each one is a bust. Instead he might think; you know, this team really needs a top 4 guy on D to make us a better all around team. Heck, we are already the 4th highest scoring team in the league. If we can keep more pucks out, we're better off. If we get Nash, fine, really good player. But we'd be getting him for the sake of getting him. And we lose assets we need to get a legit defensemen which is way more important and would make us a better team.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[There are two sides to every coin, and we have people who are dead set in either side of the argument. I consider myself an opportunist, but at times I can also be set in my ways. When it comes to this scenario of trading for Nash, I look at it as more of an opportunity for Ottawa to continue building a great team for many years. Yes, I like what Ottawa has done and how they have drafted, it's been an amazing journey the last few years. But as fans we have to be realists. Our prospect pool is so large up front, we cannot realistically expect everyone of them to become a star or land a full time position on this team. As much as we all want to see it happen, it's mathematically improbable. I would think most teams draft with an understanding that at some point, a few of these prospects may need to be used in trade scenarios. I think it's fair to say that Nash, being the calibre of player he is, is far ahead of any prospect we have when it comes to talent. I think most will agree that it's a good chance none of our prospects will reach his level. Thumbs down all you like, but it's a fair assumption. Do I want to see Ottawa sell the farm, well no. But our Farm is good, we have a long list of prospects who could be used as a package to help bring in a guy like Nash. The real issue is using up current roster players. But as we've seen in the past, other teams have managed to fill those holes with more seasoned vets with reasonable contracts. So I wouldn't worry too much about that. I'd like to think that the coaching staff, if making an offer, will do what it can to maintain what it considers to be it's best prospects for our future. And at the same time moving a few players it feels they could replace in the open market. But I've said this before. If Ottawa does nothing, I won't be upset either, because I do like the path we are on.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[VERY VERY well stated "taxman". I obviously want Nash most out of the possible young elite talent we can acquire, however, Ryan, and Kane would be excellent options as well. I had no idea that Perry and Getzlaf were also on the trade block. It somewhat makes sense though, due to Burke's incompetence he signed both Perry/Getzlaf to identical contracts that expire at the same time. Anaheim might be in tough to resign both of them, so perhaps their looking to deal one of them while they can acquire picks/prospects ; instead of losing Getzlaf or Perry for nothing in free agency. Perry would be brilliant on Spezza's wing and Getzlaf would be a phenomenal 1B centreman (convert Turris to wing- he's more a shooter than puck distributor anyway). Oh please oh please hockey gods!! Get us an elite forward!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Why the hell is everyone (or at least most) are throwing Puempel under the bus? Clearly Murray wasn't just satisfied with drafting two 1st rounders, so to satisfy his hunger, he worked with what he had and gave up two 2nd rounders when all along, Murray could've just passed on by and drafted twice in the 2nd round instead. Noesen is great, don't get me wrong. He was over a point per game prior to being drafted and did it again after being sent back. But Puempel (before and after suspension and injury) achieved the same with being a point per game player as well. He was also proclaimed by analysts as "the best pure goal scorer" for whatever that may give us. Can easily replace Heatley with Puempel by the time he reaches 20, he would've then done his time in the OHL and AHL just for good measure. Kind of reminds me of someone else who was drafted, went back to juniors for another year, did the exact same a year later, then went to the AHL, THEN FINALLY, got his break in the NHL. Eberle turned out alright I think, eh?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If I'm Spezza, and BM tells me "actually, there were all these top line wingers for you, but we thought it made more sense to sit and wait for our prospects to develop," I'm going to lose it. There has never been a better opportunity to acquire top line talent, and if we don't at least make a serious run at any of these names, we're going to be regretting it for years to come. We have a great group of prospects, and any one of them could be a super star. Or, any one of them could be a bust. We just don't know yet. What we do know, is the quality of the names that are out there now. Someone above said that it would make us a one-line team, and doesn't that sound familiar. Yes, it does. It reminds me of the year we went to the cup final: something we haven't done before or since, btw. If Rick Nash the one missing piece we need for a cup run? Maybe not. But comparatively speaking, can we ever hope to win a cup without a star like that? It's not like we're getting someone for a one year term. The player we would acquire woud be on our team for years to come. How can we realistically pass up this opportunity?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I disagree with this point of view for the most part (agree about our defence though). Defence is important but, what should we wait for? Nash and Spezza have chemistry. We have seen this happen at the WC. But waiting for our youngsters to develop is also a risk. We may always be waiting for them to develop (see Foligno). Value is a funny thing, but 1st line wingers who have chemistry with Spezza don't come along very often. You have to listen, and perhaps even go for it. KJ I think having a team that has good 3 lines, is much better than one that only has 1. Sure Rick Nash would look good playing with Spezza. At the same time, he was also supposed to look good playing with Jeff Carter. Look how that worked out. What I'm trying to say is, although Nash is tempting, it would centralise our talent a lot more and make us a 1 line team. Sound familiar? Let the prospects develop, see where they are in a couple years, assess what we have, and make the appropriate moves then. The Sens are in no rush whatsoever. And with all the pro-Nash talk, the reality is that the Sens are still an outside chance]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I disagree with this point of view for the most part (agree about our defence though). Defence is important but, what should we wait for? Nash and Spezza have chemistry. We have seen this happen at the WC. But waiting for our youngsters to develop is also a risk. We may always be waiting for them to develop (see Foligno). Value is a funny thing, but 1st line wingers who have chemistry with Spezza don't come along very often. You have to listen, and perhaps even go for it. I too have grown somewhat attached to some of our prospects, just because of the extra coverage the draft gets these days, and it is very exciting to see some of the young prospects we have, but we also saw that having a good prospect is a very important trading piece vis-a-vis the Turris-Rundblad trade. The more assets you have in the system make even contemplating trading for Nash possible. Without the pieces, we are not even at the table. I say go for it if we can. KJ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[^ Couldn't agree anymore with TyrantWeeeeeee. Although goal scoring is always wanted, it is not the Senators' biggest need. We were one of the easiest teams to forecheck against last season, our defence was distasteful. Let's focus on acquiring better top 4 defensive punch, that is what we need. Usually teams that bolt for big names like Nash, are teams that are almost complete, considered contenders, and need that extra. You seldom see rebuilding teams go for guys like these. I'm not really sure that getting Nash would entitle us as contenders. Wait until the team is solid from top to bottom, before making the move for a player like Rick Nash.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If Robin Lehner gets dealt I will not be a happy camper. He is an amazing goalie and is projected to be just as good if not better then Henrik Lundqvist. Lehner's dad both coached Lundqvist and Lehner and also he said Lundqvist was the better overall goalie between the two, he said Lehner's Competitiveness makes him the better of the 2 because he can step his game up at any level to be a dominate force. I think also he showed that in the AHL playoffs coming in Cold in the 1st series and backstop his team to an Calder cup and a MVP award. He has struggled in the minors a bit but he thinks and is probably right he deserves to be in the NHL right now as a backup to fight for a job. Trade Bishop for a late 1st round pick and then draft a goalie with that pick. Then have Lehner and Anderson share the duties this year. This kid is only 20 years old and he was outstading in his 5 games he played in the NHL last season. He went 3-2-0 with a 2.01 GAA and a .935 save% and 1 shutout. A 20 year old did that at the NHL level like wow.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'd say it makes a lot more sense for Ottawa to look at adding 15th overall + X forward prospect for a young quality top four defender than it does to deal for Nash. Deal from the strength of our prospect pool to improve the position where we need help both right now and go going forward. That's the reason we take the BPA when we draft. So we can make that trade later on to fill out the depth all through the lineup later on. Someone is always going to want a good young player - just have to find the right trading partner. Phoenix maybe.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It's odd how quickly fans want to swing the bat and go for Nash. He makes an insane amount of money and really hasn't produced truly special numbers despite playing on a team where he gets all the key minutes. I'd rather keep our young inexpensive players and see how they develop. Zibanejad could be just as good as Nash and he's far younger. Throwing away our goaltender depth and our first rounder in addition to that (which is what it would cost) just isn't worth it to me. We don't even know what's going to happen with Kuba and Gonchar. Those two guys who played very well in our top four last year. How will the team even respond to losing half of it's big minute defenders in the coming years. Alfie isn't going to be around forever. I don't think the franchise is in a position to go for broke right now. Right now the best thing to do is sit and let the assets mature. Find out what you've got before giving it away. Personally, I just think it's only worth it to trade potential young stars like Zibanejad+ if you're putting yourself in a serious window to be a Stanley Cup Contender for 2-3 years by doing so. Given what we'd have to give up I'm not sure Nash gets us that much closer. Ottawa is going to be a solid team and is going to battle but it's not a certainty that we're ready to contend yet. Still need to let those young assets mature and see what we have over the next couple years.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I've been reading a lot of the comments and rumours and although I think it would be great to have Rick Nash playing with Spezza, I think the price is going to be more than we expect. I'd definately make some of the 'rumoured' asking prices we've had on this site, but it seems we always have to give up more than we want to make trades for pro players. When the Turris deal went down in September, it was for a player that wanted out of Pho and we still had to give up a fairly highly rated prospect AND a 2nd round pick. Just because the player wants to be traded, it seems teams are still getting their worth. It'll be interesting to see where Nash ends up and for what. I do like the idea of adding a Hjalmarsson or Murray. I don't think would be top pairing defenseman, but someone to play with Sergei for a year while killing some penalties as a stop gap for another season or two. Shouldn't take TOO much to acquire these guys from a dwindling defenseman market.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Probably why they invited so many goalies in. As they say a lot of the deals that may happen have had ground work laid for months. I sure hope it's not Lehner though, especially if our 1st is included too. I guess Murray is serious if their is talk of moving Lehner or Bishop. I agree, I hope it is not Lehner.]]></description>
