You guys are so hard to please. Everyone said we needed a hard-hitting defensive defenseman. Everyone wants to put Stone, Zibanejad, Silfverberg, Hoffman, etc. in to the lineup but you guys don't want anyone traded to create the spots. Not sure what you guys are expecting.
Agreed. Something like this had to be done. I would rather the odd man out be Foligno than Silfverberg, Stone, or Zibanejad. We can't carry 30 players on the team, folks!

I liked the first couple moves we did, but then this...
Calm down everyone... I was just surprised by the trade and honestly I think it's fair...
I mean, sure we have NO young players that have more potential than Foligno coming up through the system, plus we have that problem with too many defensive d-men. I mean, sure this trade makes no sense and Murray should be fired for breaking many mens hearts today...
Seriously, it makes sense. All of those who think we could've gotten a much better return for Foligno or think what he brings is irriplaceable is a massive homer hahaha. That said, I wish Foligno luck, he was a great guy and I'm glad I got a chance to meet him. Welcome to Ottawa Methot.
Foligno was a 3rd line player not a huge talent.
Decent, slow speed, above average agression, silly penatlies.
but we need to get some defensive help with Carkner and Kuba going.
easily tradeable.
Perhaps you should start attacking his character too and make wild accusations about how he was going to hurt our team at the most inopportune time as well.
Then we'll be able to swallow that he was just given away for a dime a dozen, grossly overpaid, bottom pairing D-man from the worst team in the league.
We just signed Mike Lundin for a $1M... we gave up a 24yo who just put up a 47 point seasons while being among the leagues hit leaders who regularly fought for himself and his teammates to get another grossly overpaid Mike Lundin.
I give it a week before the HF stockholm syndrome kicks in and we're talking about how bad Murray ripped off Howson for getting Karlsson's life time D partner for underachieving Foligno
Sens pro scouting staff needs to be canned. We have made one good trade in the past 10 years, and that was still an over payment (Turris). Surely Chicago would have taken Foligno for Hammer.
Good god, give the guy a chance on the PP. He has a break year, is young, physical, and then you dump him away for for less than equal value.
If Nick was the player you think he is, 29 GMs would have been lined up to talk with Murray. Truth is Nick doesn't have the value many think unfortunately.

It's already happening. nanuuq, Craven... quite a few others. Apparently because Foligno wasn't a first line talent... we can afford to give him away for nothing and not worry about the consequences.

Real puzzled.......blows my mind.
If Chicago would have taken Nick for Hammer the deal would have been done weeks ago.

The Heatly deal Ottawa really won as for the others yes there has been some bad ones but some have been good.

Then it's best not to trade him of you can't get good value for him. At worst he doesn't crack the top 6 and plays on the 3rd line and fills in on the top 6 if the young guys are inconsistent. Now the sens have a bottom pairing have not.
