Had to be Ryan's salary at $3.375M; and Paquette ($1.65M) and Galchenyuk ($1.05M) are both about a year younger. Nonetheless, Ryan has certainly been more productive throughout his career than either Paq or Alex. I gotta believe they're renting these guys knowing they couldn't keep Dzingel at the end of the season. Besides, Ryan's career has been with Ottawa, except for his tour here. 

Couple thing to consider- maybe McCormick is done for the year and, at age 28, he might not be back with the team. Also look at the contracts of Drew Shore and Joakim Ryan and their respective ages. 

Interesting move, to say the least. Both guys are rentals and will be gone after the season unless one of them just tears it up the remainder of the season.

The salary cap relief was more than likely the reason behind it. We had to play shorthanded because we were maxed out and didn't want to put guys on LTIR in order to sign replacements.

I like Dzingel, but kinda seems like a win for both sides. Ryan is definitely the better player. But, most of the beat writers think Paquette is a better fit in our top 9. Ottawa gets their boy back, we get some cap flexibility and (hopefully) upgrade the chemistry on our top 3 lines.

Dzingel just didn’t fit in well here at all. We’d have been no worse off if he were a healthy scratch every night (and he was a fair amount last year). We don’t save much salary but I’m sure that was a part of it.

 

Paquette was a great 4th line C for Tampa for years but has been terrible this year - whether that’s just Ottawa or him declining, I don’t know. But he really doesn’t have any potential. His “potential” is just a 4th line C upgrade who can bring a bit more toughness to the lineup (which I think is the main reason for the move). Paquette definitely should not be in the top 9 at any point, but I do like him as depth more than Dzingel.

Galchenyuk is pretty worthless and I doubt he plays much if at all here. He has theoretical upside as a skill player, but he’s been even worse than Dzingel the last couple years and doesn’t offer anything else except a bit of skill — in a Rod Brind’Amour team, that is a recipe for disaster (see Dzingel). 
 

Decent move but unlikely to really have much of an impact at all. Certainly doesn’t hurt us. We didn’t give up anything of real value and saved a bit of money, so if that’s all it was too then so be it.

You beat me! I had strapped on my boots to come over here and post this.

Anyway, I’m curious to see if we get more information about the cause/reason for moving Dzingel.

gave you some pie for your trouble! I like the trade so far - a little cap space and a true, gritty fourth line center who can make the team deeper. Having won a cup helps too!

Nice write up. Interested why we grabbed two centers when we already have Geekie in the groove for the fourth line.

Geekie hasnt been playing well, we are probably interested to see what these guys can do instead of him. Also expect us to try playing Galchenyuk on the wing.

This was a good trade for us as all guys are expiring contracts.  Paquette strengthens us going down the middle of the ice.  I like Larentz but he has been inconsistent, and I thought Geekie played well last year but has disappeared this year.  This trade gives us depth that let's us atone for injury.

Also one or both guys could be moved before the deadline if the coaches don't like what they're looking at.  If you're a bad team these expiring contracts are incredibly valuable. It's harder for bad teams to get better when there is a salary cap decrease which amplifies the value of a bad team trading for expiring contracts for team building. Obviously this frees up cap in the off season. If you're a good team these expiring contracts allow you the ability to trade for a guy that has term but is stuck on a bad team.  Look at the Trocheck trade.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
