The Senators trade Zibanejad and a 2nd to the Rangers for Brassard and a 7th. Terrible overpayment for the Sens IMO, and possibly motivated by salary/RFA concerns again.

This team is frustrating me so much.

Being a Sens fan sounds like literal torture, but I can't imagine how it must feel to play for that team.

I...this trade makes no sense to me.

Ottawa is just kind of a weird team to me. I get that they can't spend to the cap, but it doesn't seem like they are really being savvy enough to make up for it.

ayrt It's honestly not that great an excuse. I mean, look at how well the Ducks are doing in comparison.

The team is pretty strong at drafting, so they get mediocre by taking advantage of ELC/RFA contracts, ensuring they never get great draft picks. Then they get cheap in all the wrong ways until it fucks them over because they're terrible at trades. See Alfie leaving because management went back in their word to pay him, the Spezza "oops we can't pay you and now it's too late to get good value" trade, the Bobby Ryan "we just got dumped so we're rebounding hard and throwing money at the first big name player to show us positive attention" trade/contract extension, the whole Hoffman arbitration debacle...

Having a bad owner is the worst, because with bad management you can at least hope for them to get fired.

WTH. It would be an overpayment without the picks even. The picks make it way worse for the Sens.

And also, I guess the Rangers are going to do their best to wedge that playoff window open.

*sigh* I was really hoping the Rangers were going to further blow the doors off the NHL and trade Lundquivst to the Stars.
