Playoffs are no big deal,
don't have a crap attack.
Has a great player been traded for anything close to his value recently? Seguin for Eriksson is the only example I can think of, b/c Neal, Spezza, and Iginla have all been traded for much less.

That trade return is poo poo, no one on this team has any loving plan besides "save money", it will take 5-10 years before we get a centre close to what Spezza gave us, when Ryan leaves Turris will be the second highest paid Senator at 3.5 million a year

Do you consider Vanek or Miller to be great players?

There is a non-zero chance Chiasson continues his rise and gets more consistent. I just wouldn't have put my money on it, despite really liking the kid.

I do, or rather, the perception is that they are great players. Either way, I knew I was forgetting about other big names getting traded.

Sabres plan: Let the veterans walk, fill the cupboard with young talent and then tank for McDavid. Win Stanley Cup in 5 years.
Senators plan: Expunge the team with all its talent except for Karlsson and then tank for McDavid. Continue to be horrible because two players can't win poo poo.

Sorry Sens fans. You deserve better.

This is what happens when you disrespect Cam Neely
Alex Guptill is a good prospect with solid 50-60 point potential. He's real creative offensively, but has some issues with his fitness level and work ethic that you would expect to get sorted out with a couple years of professional hockey.

Chiasson has a bad year, but he'll be a good 2nd/3rd line player. It was kind of anticipated that he would be the major piece in any trade the Stars made, because he's kind of the odd man out on the roster with some top prospects pushing for the top 6 winger spots, and some more effective players holding down the 3rd line right now.

I mean Orpik, if paid to be a 3rd pairing defender, is probably fine. But he's going to get first pairing dollars from WSH and it is going to suck.
