SEA
Daoust, Philippe [RFA Rights]
Järventie, Roby
Zaitsev, Nikita
White, Colin
Murray, Matt
Thomson, Lassi
2022 2nd round pick (OTT)
Additional Details:
This is basically two trades in one as Ottawa gets a bona fida top four defensemen in Dunn and gets out of the contracts of Murray, Zaitsev, and White. So I'll kinda explain it in two seperate trades with the first one being the Dunn trade and the second one being the Murray-Zaitsev trade.
1. This trade is primairily Jarventie and Thomson for Dunn and I get that those are two pretty good prospects for Ottawa but Ottawa does need a top four defensemen and Dunn is pretty good all over the ice and is a physical defenseman that can score and that plays pretty well into DJ Smith's system. Jarventie and Thomson are also blocked on the way to the NHL level as there is more depth there. I also think that the Sens will keep and prioritize JBD cause other than Zub they don't have a defensemen with the same profile.
2. The trade is pretty much White, Murray, Zaitsev, and Daoust for nothing as that's 15 million in cap dumps and that allows the Sens to pay Stutzle, Sanderson, Pinto, and Norris in the coming years and that cap space does allow them to add on more freely in the coming years. Plus it allows Seattle to get to the Cap floor and Daoust is pretty much in the same boat as Jarventie and Thomson in that he doesn't really have a path to the NHL. Plus he is a way's away but does have good scoring talent.

Dunn, Vince
Additional Details:
Ottawa gets a cost controlled young top four defensemen that is an RFA at the end of his contract that can contribute at all ends of the ice and would probably fit well in DJ Smith's system and would give them a more balanced defense core as he is kinda a very similar but less talented Chabot.
Ottawa says no
