Report: Ottawa Senators looking to trade Mathieu Joseph

 

Shane Seney Wednesday, June 05, 2024

 

According to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Citizen, the Ottawa Senators are looking to trade forward Mathieu Joseph ahead of the 2024 NHL Draft. Garrioch reports a league executive mentioned this to him recently. 
 

Joseph, 27, is signed for two more seasons at a $2.95 million cap hit and does not hold any trade protection. He's found his name involved in trade talks throughout the last two seasons and it's become quite clear the organization is looking to move on this summer.

 

Joseph scored 11 goals and 35 points in 72 games last season and enjoyed a career season. He's quickly become one of the Senators best penalty killers and also landed 105 hits and blocked 49 shots in 2023-24. He's been rumored to be heading to the Philadelphia Flyers in the past, but no word yet if the Flyers have circled back this offseason.

 

The Senators are also listening to trade offers on several of their other players, with ongoing reports Jakob Chychrun and Joonas Korpisalo could also be in play. After another season of missing the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the owner and management are looking to re-tool on the fly to get back into playoff contention.

 

One things for sure, captain Brady Tkachuk isn't going anywhere. GM Steve Staios has denied the trade rumors circling their captain after the New York Rangers were linked to making a mega-offer this offseason.

 

For now, Joseph is in play, among others, Tkachuk is staying put. Lots going on in Ottawa this summer as the silly season in the NHL begins.

Don't know enough about MJ specifically but this is the type of situation Mgmt should be looking at for Mik - one for one trade that lowers the AAV for for the Canucks and sends Mik to a team that needs some stable vets to support their youth as they attempt to take the next step.

If MJ were on Van, would you trade him for IM?

They'd like to move Korpisalo and Tkachuk isn't available? Shocking. 

 

A Chychrun trade seems inevitable.

Brady is available, as soon as he talks to Quinn about green and baumer.

Dunno, apparently Green and Tochett are pals and they think hockey in a similar way, I'm more than willing to give him a fair shot in Ottawa. It's not as if he had a lot to work with during his tenure here.

Greener and Tocchet are similar coaches. One just had an actual blueline and Greener had Ben "Look at me Smile" Hutton, DJ Del Zotto, Eric "the Handsome Pylon" Gudbranson, and Derrick "Stinky" Pouliot. Not exactly the Avengers. Edler and Tanev were the best options he had at first, and Edler was starting to age out of his role. Greener did have 18, 19, and 20 year old Hughes. But I mean, guy was still coming into his own. We hate on Greener way more than he deserves. Team was cheeks the entire time he was here.

 

Similar how?

Similar in how they play Call of Duty. What do you mean? They coach in a similar fashion. Tocchet said they are really close and talk shop too. Quinn Hughes even said that Green is a big reason he never lost confidence and was able to develop.

If we can work out a deal where we send Mik for Joseph then I'm open to it. Mik could score 20 again once properly healed up and at worse he'll be a solid defensive forward (similar to what they have in Joseph now). Ottawa could choose to take a risk and pay about a million and a half more for at a chance at a better offensive player. 

 

Joseph seems to be at best a 30 point guy who will get you about 10-15 goals. Will play in your bottom 6, PK and hit. Canucks do it to save a little cap, that's it. They need offense still and they'll have to look elsewhere for it.

If the team could find a monster physical centre for the 3rd line, it would be interesting to see how having two speedy forechecking wingers like Joseph and Garland being pests on a line together.

I don't find the player really compelling for our needs, but in a package deal he could fill a hole.  Ottawa needs a big roster shakeup and show some serious forward momentum this year or risk their younger high end players wanting to bail (kind of like Petterson if we didn't get better this year).

Batherson, Zub, Kastelic, and of course Thachuk are all players from Ottawa that the Canucks could really use... of course Ottawa could really use them too, so it would be that easy.  Most of their D shoot left, so maybe a gamble that they could re-sign Hronek would pry some of those attractive pieces from their team.

They would also be really interested in Silovs as they need to strengthen their goaltending.

OK... Green was never able to run a decent defence, relied on Demko too much and never really brought the room together, but sure, similar.
