You'd have to make that pick the Sens first rounder minimum to make that go through IMO

Not if they take Ryan's huge contract back

Even if they take Ryan's contract, no way Ottawa makes a deal with Colorado that doesn't have their own first rounder returned.

Then I dont think they make a deal, Karlsson has to go which means that the teams trying to acquire him are competing with each other so they se this price tag.. Ottawa fans might not like what they get

They shouldn't get a deal they like, but someone will offer better than this package. Personally, if I was Ottawa, I would do it straight up for their own pick, but that would look bad publicly. A near guaranteed top 5 pick is the best they're going to do for a year of Karlsson, dealing from a position of weakness where everyone knows they have to trade him IMO.

I agree with you but all these Ottawa fans are expecting the world... just read that Dallas is the front runner and the trade is drew shore, Julias honka and their 1st rounder... not taking back Bobby ryan,

Comparatively that's like Colorado's first, soderberg and Duncan Siemens
