Chychrun

Leafs aren't trading McCabe or Cowan.

Unlikely to trade Kampf also. But he can be moved.

I’m a sens fan and this feels like an overpayment by the leafs.

McCabe isn’t good enough to be a number 2 D on a cup contender. But he would excel in a 3rd line role on the Sens. I do think he has value at his cap hit.

Kampf is more of a salary dump tbh. He is a good 4th liner but replaceable by a cheaper player.

Cowan and the 1st are where the big value lie on the Leafs end.

Chychrun is a solid #2D on a cup contender. He is buried behind Chabot and Sanderson in Ottawa. His value will only decrease as his contract expires and I don’t see the Sens contending this season and I’m doubtful for this season as well.

If Toronto does acquire Chychrun please play him at his natural LD position.

He's having a rough season in Ottawa.

I agree that McCabe should be a 3rd pair guy on a cup contender. But he is also better than Benoit and Lyubuskin. Lyubuskin is a 7th dman and Benoit should be a #6.

Keep McCabe and get rid of Timmins and that top 8 would be very solid.
