Not you sir , I was responding to Cheeseballin . He seems to have a hate on for Dudley . He did a great job as GM in Atlanta , but got screwed out of his job when the franchise was bought and moved to Winnipeg.

I don't hate the guy I just don't understand why everyone hops on his pee-pee. He took the talent Chicago couldn't keep after their cup win. The same team he was assistant GM of under Tallon not long before he tool the ATL job. He obviously had a connection there. It's not like he moved mountains to add Buff and Ladd. He obviously was a part of building that Chicago team which I acknowledge.

Ottawa sends - Colin Greening RW, Stafan Da Costa C, & a 3rd rounder 2013 for Steve Ott.

Plus that would just be funny to have "Ott" on the back of a Sens jersey.. Almost like a Martin "St Louis" trade to St Loius Blues lol

Then who goes..? You guys are sellers at the deadline & Ottawa are buyers.
We have lots of prospects & young players Murray could use in a deal.

The Chicago dismantling is what happens to all great teams in the age of the Salary cap . You just can't keep all the great young Talent, when they are due for new contracts . Whether you acknowledge or not, he is very well respected and will probably get the Next GM job that opens up . Why not here ? Unless you want to keep Darcy ? Just going with the Flow here . He has Buffalo roots ( he played and coached here ) and would be an outstanding GM if a change is made , why not him ?

You guys are just as stubborn as Calgary & Toronto have fun finishing one spot out of the playoffs for the next few years. Worked wonders for the flames & leafs

They are not trading with Ottawa . Teams just do not trade within their division if it can be avoided . I am sure you have some great young talent . But it is not going to happen.

Moving a worthwhile asset to a division rival is dumb.

And without Karlsson, why would you want to buy this year anyhow?

I hope they still sell Leopold and Stafford before the trade deadline . The rest I can wait if they are in a real race for a playoff spot . You can win the cup finishing in 8th and if you get hot at the right time . Just look what happened last year.

Leo is looking highly expendable, and Stafford as well.

What's the end game here? What's the ultimate best case scenario? 2nd round if EVERYTHING falls into place?

Just sell. Start Pegula's original 3 year plan now with a new GM.

Perhaps. I know what you're thinking, I even half agree with it.

Yeah, I'm with you here. We'd have to overpay for him, Buffalo shouldn't want to trade him, and besides Ottawa have no real need of additional 3rd/2nd line players.

If its one of Vanek or Pomminville, the price will hurt.

We don't want any rentals. We want a player that will stay for the cup run next year as well.

Also we are going to have Vezina finalist Craig Anderson & Jason Spezza back for the playoffs run.
