I wonder how Bickell's regular season numbers compare? Are they effected by being on a superior team?

I rather retain Michalek myself over Stewart or take a run at Callahan.

agreed. i think michalek brings more than stewart and could be had cheaper.

callahan would be awesome, would love to get him. that being said, i think he's gonna get BRUTALLY overpaid this offseason. a team like buffalo, who needs a captain and "face of the team" will probably give him a blank cheque....especially seeing as he's from there (or close to there)

Travis Yost: Chris Stewart is a Terrible Trade Target
- Travis Yost


I would prefer that all of the assets obtained in a Spezza deal be combined with other assets to land the one player available this year who can make a huge difference.

The power forward I want the Senators to deal for is Evander Kane.

What's the feel on whether Hemsky will be back with the Sens? I actually think the B's would be wise to look at him to complement Soderberg and Eriksson if the price were right.

I don't mind Chris Stewart. I do think he has a hot or not style of game, but given the right situation may thrive. I don't think he is a top line player, but could defiantly provide secondary scoring with a mean streak. That said, I do not want to loose a decent prospect for him. I've heard Stone is the guy T Murray wants. Stone will basically become Stewart, if not a better player, so I don't see much sense in that deal from our perspective. I wouldn't cheer or grown brining him in as long as the deal is reasonable. I'm sure Buffalo isn't looking to just give him away though, which is why I think a deal hasn't been struck yet.

As a grinder in the bottom 6 he is fine ,but he could be a bit to expensive to resign net season even with moderate sucess

ive been pretty adamant about stewart...i have no interest in that guy at all..the last thing this team needs is a guy that plays 25% of the games...i dont know why the organization seems so high on him...

id rather keep michalek...and would love to keep hemsky, but i highly doubt that he stays..

I will be somewhat surprised if Hemsky ends up some place different than Spezza. A team could transform their top 6 with those two players. Watch for Nashville, Florida and Pheonix surprise us with the strength of their trade offer.

The only other player I would want that strongly is J.Bo. I think he is the ideal partner for Karlsson.

if you figure that out, we'll finally have an answer as to why they extended greening. as travis mentioned in the blog, they're essentially the same player.

if murray asks for stone, i hope his uncle hangs up on him.

the most i'd offer (and i hope they don't offer anything) is prince straight up.

It's kind of creepy how similar they are, actually. Stewart might have a half-leg up on Greening on the scoring differential alone (think it's like 0.12 per-game iirc), but otherwise, it's fairly close.

Other than Stewart maybe exhibiting an uptick in shooting ability, I don't see much else there.

As a Blues fan, I was happy with acquiring Ryan Miller...... but I was absolutely ecstatic that we were able to unload Stewart! It was worth everything we gave up just to get rid of him.

Good comparison on Greening-Stewart Travis. If the deal for Stewart could be Greening+Prince I'd pull the trigger though. They might both be comparative as far as Corsi goes but at least Stewart can score more goals whenever he gets the chances.

Well, you also have dumping Greening's contract in there, too. That could incentivize Bryan a bit.

This might be a rare concept but if someone writes something, especially first, I try to give them credit for it.
