Pete Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Seven pages on Vlad Namestnikov... A player everyone hated and wanted traded since the day he got here. Now he's traded and it's an issue? Go figure.This is what I'm getting at. The difference between what you're getting between Names and McKegg in 8 mins on the 4th line is negligible.

Dunny Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Namestnikov can slot up and down the lineup and the others can't. He provides flexibility. Like I said, they have no interest in winning this year, or they handled the cap in a way that makes it impossible. Either way, same outcome. Dumping useful parts for hypotheticals in the next year, caused by having to buy out yet another useful part, spin it however you want, I find it disappointing.

Pete Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 He can't play up and down the lineup successfully. If he's your barometer, Strome and Fast can as well, and combined make what Names made. If you want to blame the team for anything, it should be for signing him to that absurd deal in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leetchy2 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 He can't play up and down the lineup successfully. Didn't he center the first line with success in Tampa? Why couldn't he slot up & down here successfully if there was an injury to say Zib? I agree signing him to the contract was nuts, but getting rid of him at this point in the season is questionable in the least unless the freed salary cap will be spent on something bigger & better soon (as in a trade for a #2 center).

He was given time with Zib here... He was brutal no mater who he played with. It wasn't a fit. If people want to blame Quinn, OK... But the coach isn't going anywhere so Names had to.

josh Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Not blaming Quinn. Different styles. I think it’s a sign, but oh well. But the timing, the comments made... doesn’t make a ton of sense. They’d be better off keeping him until the trade deadline, or June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sod16 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Ottawa's leading scorer now is 4-3-7 in 7 games. At this rate, the trade will be an even set off with the Brassard-Zib deal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I fully expect him to turn back in to a pumpkin here at any moment, but it's not just the points, he's doing everything for them and playing 20 minutes a night. Last night he caused Pageau goal on the PK, didn't get a point, but it was a lot of Namestnikov that caused it. I just find him easy to root for. Also, DJ Smith is squeezing a lot out of that roster, kind of like what Quinn did last year for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leetchy2 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Yup, and we haven't won a game since trading him. So far looking like a stupid needless trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be "Why is Names on first line over Kakko?!?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooksBurner Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Exactly. He's also playing in a role that he never would have gotten here. It would be "Why is Names on first line over Kakko?!?" Maybe, or maybe he would have looked like how he did in Tampa and we are talking about him as a good player that can be moved up and down the lineup, complementing higher skilled players. Guess we won't ever know because we didn't keep him long enough for Quinn to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJWantsTheCup Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 So the McDonagh trade ends up Miller & McDonagh for Hajek, Howden, Nils Lundkvist, Karl Henriksson, Nick Ebert & a 4th rounder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slobberknocker Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Probably not the best return we could?ve gotten he seems like the guy you get on an established team with high-quality players where he is in addition and not asked to carry the plate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
