Legace on Waivers

by Guest on Fri Feb 06, 2009 1:32 pm

He has been put on waivers.

by **caissie_1** on Fri Feb 06, 2009 1:42 pm

Meh! I dont think he will get picked up. Im pretty sure he is UFA at the end of the year so you never know!

by **SeawaySensFan** on Fri Feb 06, 2009 1:48 pm

He could be the J-S Aubin of the future! Sign that guy tout de suite!!!!

Huh? Why?

He's never done anything on a team that didn't have great defense. Not to mention when you look at the UFA/RFA goalies coming due this year and next why waste your time.

Elliott is maybe not quite as good, but he's pretty close and he's younger and cheaper.

Same can be said for Brodeur.

I was just kidding about Legace anyway.

Phew...although it can be debated that over the last couple of years and his first couple NJ's defense was anything but great. Well, great in terms of names, they always have good defensive systems and players so yes I would agree.

That's all I'm saying too.

Legacy might be a good pickup for a team like Washington right now. Could very well go to a team like Philly.

by **SpezDispenser** on Fri Feb 06, 2009 2:25 pm

Agreed. Legace would be good for Washington or Philly.

Wow, wasn't it last year he was in the ASG? Incredible. Andy Murray basically said he couldn't stop a beachball anymore and he was going for Mason. So I guess they have someone who will pick him up off of waivers.

Good for them. Cut ties with deadwood.

The price of goalies is going down amazingly. Go get Giguere to mentor Elliot while the market is so low.

by **dennycrane** on Fri Feb 06, 2009 2:54 pm

Giguere? Six million a season for two years after this one? His GAA is worse than Gerber's.

If you get him, say goodbye to any hope of Ohlund or Bouwmeester.

I doubt we have a shot at Bow, and Ohlund doesn't excite me. I know you don't like Giggy anymore, but this guy is clutch.

Ohlund is prob a better player than J Bo, he is just older. Ohlund is everything that the Sens want in a number 1 right now.

by **SpezDispenser** on Fri Feb 06, 2009 3:22 pm

Really? Tell me more about Ohlund. I know very little about him obviously.

by Guest on Fri Feb 06, 2009 3:33 pm

SOLID player. Good offensivly, good instincts, good defensivly, just solid. He'll drop the gloves and battle (like he did with Iginla in the playoffs in 04) I say that because thats prob his best known scrap. Also, the thing I love, he has a mean streak and a good work ethic.

IMO, he is the guy that Murray will bring in and over pay to get.

by **SpezDispenser** on Fri Feb 06, 2009 3:36 pm

Can he move the puck though? Is he a bonafide number 1? That's what we're missing - and going just by stats, I see he doesn't put up much offensively.

He can move the puck up. Look at his stats when he was playing with Naslund, Bertuzzi, and Marrison. He was a big part to their success. I havnt looked yet, but I will guess they were a lot better when he was moving the puck up to the Sedin's in a defense first system.

Ohlund can do it all and if he isnt a legit number 1, he without a doubt a number 2. For the way things are heading in Ottawa, especially if we land Hedman, Ohlund will be the guy coming in IMO.

A lot of this depends on the draft though... too many unknowns in Ottawa right now, but thats just my guess, it will be Ohlund.

Granted because of time zone I don't see them often (while sober). I like Ohlund as he is solid and good in both zones but I would still take Bouwmeester personally. Jay Bouw's skating is second to none. He is younger and has put up decent numbers while never having a decent forward core to move the puck to. He would do wonders on a club with high end forwards. (Cap rarely allows for high end defence and forwards but...)

I would take J Bo over him in a second because of his age, but I dont think its going to happen for Ottawa.

Fair enough, I truly believe it is a pipe dream for all Sens fans that he shows up here. Some have speculated his friendship with Spezza may influence him, wanting to come back to Canada... yaddah, yaddah, yaddah. I don't think we can afford him without moving out one of the big three.

We cant afford anything without moving one of them. Im not getting into it all again, but Ohlund I think is the guy that Murray wants anyways.

Heard about this from another source this morning, actually, and forgot to post it... Dobber is reporting it too...

I can't imagine he goes unclaimed...

by **SpezDispenser** on Fri Feb 06, 2009 4:50 pm

If Ohlund can be 'the guy' to make the transition game better, that's great. Not a penny over 4.5 million though. We'd still be one legit D-man short, but if Ohlund can get the puck up the ice to the Big 3, then let's do it.

by **SpezDispenser** on Fri Feb 06, 2009 4:51 pm

Me thinks he's all used up to be honest.

Ohlund wont be getting less than 5 mil a year, prob closer to 6. Garenteed. You can say "forget it then", but the worth of a puck moving D man is a lot more to any other franchise in the league right now.

by **SpezDispenser** on Fri Feb 06, 2009 5:04 pm

5 million I can handle, I can't handle anything over that. I think he would take 5 in this economic climate.

Not if a GM offers him 6, lol, and someone will offer him close to that. If Redden gets 6.5, Campbell gets 8, so on, Ohlund will get close to 6.

He is worth 6 mil to the Sens IMO. I just hope we get Hedman, then Ill put serious cash on us bringing him in for a long term contract, like, 4, 5 years.

This is just my opinion, but I simply can't see a team offering Ohlund 6 million bucks. If it were the Sens I would simply blow anyone out of the water for J-Bo at that point. Like 8.5 million. The difference is fairly small at that point, and J-Bo is better IMO.

Gee, I hope GMs have learned something from the Redden fiasco and the pain and suffering the Rangers have just started with his contract, but they're so Diddle dumb, they probably have not.

I dunno, I mean at the end of the day we're losing Kuba at 3.1 and Gerber at 3.7, so we're essentially gaining 6.8 mil right there. Vermette's another 2 and a bit.

We could afford him, but I don't think teh smart move would be to do so... we need to address other issues IN ADDITION to the PMD.

by sennies1980 on Fri Feb 06, 2009 5:37 pm

I thought this was a legace thread? All this Ohlund talk is distracting.

I live in Van so I see a lot of the nuck games and believe me Ohlund is not what Sens need.

He shows bouts of impressiveness from time to time but is 2nd pairing at best.

by **SpezDispenser** on Fri Feb 06, 2009 5:53 pm

Meh, turns out no one cares about Legace, so somehow the thread turned.

by Guest on Fri Feb 06, 2009 9:07 pm

Legace is a good goalie. I can see The Caps picking him up.

He would make everyone on that team 1 foot taller.
