I hope Bob is brighter then that. I think giving up Higgy for a european is an insult to Higgy's heart. Higins is the nrxt captain. I would sooner trade Saku then Higins. Hossa has no heart and thats what you need playoff time and Bob knows this. Promise that trade will not happen EVER!!!! I would try and pry Marleau from the sharks he would be a great fir with Higgins. Trade Ryder and Brisbois for Marleau and an equal defencemen in return. Ryder is yound and is gonna be a good 1 so straight up for Marleau is fair.

I would disagree with (B) Goaltending. There is only a goaltending issue in Ottawa when the team in front of the goalies don't play defence. How many 1 on nones and 2 on 1's does a goalie need to see in a game. Or Defensemen throwing the puck up the middle of the ice or not clearing the puck on rebounds. It's the small hard working stuff that needs to be done and if it was done, we wouldn't be talking about goaltending in Ottawa. This team is underachieving and they need to look at their team play before they look between the pipes.

To be honest i didnt really missed the point its just that in my opinion
Leclaire has more potential,is not a distraction and a deal like
Emery,Corvo + pick for instance would also save us money to re-sign
Vermette,Kelly and mezsaros.I wouldnt mind having Roloson either straight up for Emery.

More than a trade the Sens Need:

Paddock to stop his EFFING RETARDED POLICY OF "WIN AND YOU ARE IN."

Emery and Gerber are BOTH starters. The reality is that you have to just arbitrarily pick one and go with him.

Gerber (and the whole team) was DOING GREAT (17 straight wins anyone?) until Emery came back was eating into his starts.

This does NOT mean that Emery is to blame.

Emery also plays in the same way, he will play better when he knows he is No.1.

This Paddock policy is what is ruining the team, not any lack of talent. Look at the start of the Senators season, they dominted with the same team they have now. What's changed? Paddock alternating goalies, then the team losing confidence.

Change or GTFO Paddock.

Vermette + Whoever for Erik Cole is fine, not Brian Lee tho. He will be in next season.

After getting Cole:

Redden for Campbell

True, but it's unlikely that either team is going to trade their No. 1 tender, especially if they still have their services for a year or 2. Edmonton's MVP recently has easily been Garon, and since he's playing better and costs less than Roloson, if they're going to ship one out it probably wouldn't be Garon. They may also look for a reasonable goaltender to come back in the trade, because the next goalie on their depth chart is Devan Dubnyk. Who?? Exactly.

Legace is an All-Star, and as much of a joke as the game is, he did deserve to be there. He outplayed Toivanen to the point where he hardly gets a game anymore. St. Louis made huge strides this year, and the organization knows that they won't be able to take the next step without the kind of goaltending he's given them this year. I would say, barring a total meltdown or bad injury, Legace gets an extension before next years deadline, and if Garon continues playing the way he is, he'll get one too.

Goaltending is obviously not the only issue. Gerber will come out of his current slump. I can't see them being able to swing a deal for a great number one. I would try to unload Emery for some secondary scoring. On paper it looks as though they have secondary scoring, but they're recent play has showed that a couple of injuries could get this team swept if they aren't careful. Emery is a headcase, and not too many teams are going to be interested in a mediocore shit disturber. Ottawa's best bet would be to unload him for nothing, and make a seperate trade for a little more scoring help.

because their teams will most likely miss the playoffs, a player doesnt have to be UFA to be available at the deadline.
