Draft work

Leafs more than likely decline that. Add Kovacevic to the package and we have a deal.

Dvorak may have a 4.45 million dollar cap hit, but he is owed a 5.725 million dollar salary next season. That's about the least attractive "get to the cap floor" piece possible for a small market team, and we don't need your help to reach the cap floor, we're going hunting in free agency.

You'd have to pay us to take Dvorak, and richly.

Dvorak is a cap dump, don't think he is that bad but the 3rd should be going the other way

if the Sens were that dead set on Parekh (or anybody else who might be there at 5 and theyre convinced wouldn’t still be there at 7) and made that trade I’d be fine with it

Don't see Ottawa paying to move up to 5th from 7th, when it seems extremely likely that one of those juicy RHD studs will still be at 7th anyway. I think it's probably some combination of Celebrini, Demidov, Levshunov, Catton, and Silayev top 5. So that leaves both Parekh and Yakemchuk on the board for Ottawa, plus a host of other reasonable choices if they opt for something other than an RHD. Especially considering it sounds like MTL might just draft Iginla there anyway, there's just no pressure to move up imo.
