I don't think it will happen....would be a steep price that's for sure but if we have to take bobby ryans contract back it might not be too steep....

Hondaracer gonna be pisssssed

I think we just need to come to the realization that JV isn't ever really going to have a ripped body like Bo, and there's nothing wrong with that.

If anything, I see the Canucks being the 3rd team taking on Bobby Ryan's contract for some sweet returns.

We can offer Sutter, Tanev, Gagner, guddy and 1st round pick

taking bobby ryan and EK

If we don't need to give up any top prospects, i'd be happy to take ryan's or anderson's contracts back.

hoping no picks will be trade for the 2019 draft if its 2020 then by all means go crazy

If there is a 1st round pick involved you can all but guarantee we win the lottery even if we finished 15th after all we are all Canucks and that's Canuck luck.

Ottawa is in a shitty situation. They need to trade their best dman but at the same time they can't finish in the bottom of the standings or Colorado wins with their lottery pick.

If anything, Ottawa might try to look for the best return players who can play now and help them string in some wins.

Edler / Stecher / Goldobin / + prospect say juolevi? for EK and Ryan?

Ottawa is in the worst position possible.

- Cheap/broke owner
- Player publicly stated he wants out
- Team publicly stated they're trading him

Those are pretty much the 3 things that you DON'T want the public to know when trying to make a deal :lol

With all 3 of those factors in play, any GM worth a damn would either try and bend them over in a horrible deal (Dahlen for Burrows) or simply wait them out. The longer EK65 goes into the season, the worse a return the Sens are going to get.

Have a hard time believing EK would want to come here, we suck, I’m sure he’s had enough fishing pucks out of his own net already in Ottawa

As long as Horvat, Boeser, Pettersson, Hughes, Demko, and our 1st round pick is off limits, I say everything else is expendable for EK.

Talk about a low budget commercial from Sweden: :lawl:

How does a deal for Karlsson not get done without prospects or draft picks, seems very unlikely.

Might as well keep him and try not to end up in 30th place.

Yeah but losing ek will pretty much confirms bottom finishing for 30th place.

Ottawa needs to trade for players now vs prospects and draft picks I feel or a mix

ok question here...Ottawa traded their 1st round pick in the matt Duchene deal to Colorado but Ott had a choice to either trade their 1st last draft or next years 1st in the draft coming up. Can they somehow trade that as well now to a different team? What I am getting is can Ott now keep their 1st which originally could have went to Col but now trade that to a different team? For example Ott keeps their 1st but now trades the rights to say Van in a EK deal so now Van has to send their 1st in 2019 draft to Col instead. I mean I know Van wouldn't do it but just food for thought if you guys can understand my jumble.

Ottawa will no doubt have to lower their demands if they really want something back for EK65.

No guarantee he sticks with the team that trades for hime

Nope. It has to be Ottawa’s 1st rounder. They can’t say flip a player for the 30th pick and trade it to Colorado. That’s why they’re so fucked. Hahah

so with this any trade involving Ott they would want a minimum 1st round pick in a EK deal

Good to hear that Benning has come out and confirmed that any trade would definitely not include any high picks for next years draft, which so happens to be in Van.

If EK continues to play for the Sens during this upcoming season, it will be interesting to see what kind of lowball offers that GMs would offer to Ottawa. :considered:

I hope everyone just says fuck the sens and leaves any deal till the last second and they either get some shit return or he goes into free agency.

Even with his gross the ownership situation is with the canes, ya gotta think the sens are worse

That $300 uber ride is looking pretty cheap now Melnyk. hahaha
