Phaneuf To Sens

CarltonTheBear said:
Tobias Lindberg was a 4th round pick by the sens in 2013. He's 20 years old, has 22 points in 34 games in his first season in the AHL. 6'3'', 215lbs. Scored 78 points in 67 games in the OHL last season. Played for Oshawa under now-Leafs assistant coach D.J. Smith.

And he's done that on the worst team in their conference, and 28/30 in the league. I wonder what he'll be able to do with Nylander and the boys.
 
I'm waiting to hear the downside, but I can't seem to find any.

Does everyone in the NHL owe Lou a favour or something?

Ok, so we know why we did the trade. Why the hell did Ottawa do the trade? Why would they take on an albatross?
 
Shanahan and co. have sure torn down basically all the pillars of the Nonis years and the ones people thought would be impossible to do so. Or at least possible in a way that wouldn't hurt the team badly.

Stuart Percy must be absolutely terrified right now.

As a "compete now" team (and I use the term loosely), Ottawa needed to move salary - Cowan was a healthy scratch, Greening in the minors taking up 2.5 mil, Michalek too injury prone. The Sens basically traded 1 more year of $9 mil for 5 years of $7 mil, because they want that extra $2 mil of cap space for this/next year.

It's a stretch, but the fact they've less money to throw at Stamkos due to this trade seems to be the early front-runner. Even with a Cowen buyout they still are paying more for the remaining guys than they would have been for Phaneuf.

IF they are after Stamkos I'm sure there are moves they can make...this team continues to impress !!

Am I missing something?

Cowen (-$650k) + Michalek ($4mil) + Greening ($1.7mil) = $5.05mil
