Not.
Even.
Close.

you will be giving up ether dahlen or joulevi for karlsson and especially with throwing back loui errikson

That 1st would be lower with EK

Why would Vancouver be in on him? They're not close to being a contender even if they get him. Better off keeping the required assets and letting them grow.

Mmmmk, so you are not giving Ottawa a big salary back. That is why they don't want Bobby Ryan.

And if you do trade Eriksson over there, you are adding a bunch more in terms of futures. You will need to start the trade with a top, young defense prospect. Then add a roster player worth hanging on to. Gubranson is not that player. He a physical defender, who provides little offense, and doesn't skate well. No go there.

Let's take Hughes and Stetcher to start. Then add a 1st. Then add a middle level prospect, so let's say the Palmu kid. You will probably need to add a lesser prospect or a mid round pick. Then you're done.

Hughes
Stetcher
Palmu
1st
3rd

for

Karlsson
Ryan

You are close but Hughes is NOT available .... Juolevi could be had but if you're dumping Ryan and Karlsson doesn't have a new contract in place you are asking too much. The first would be top 5 protected and not in 2019 as VAN is hosting the draft. so could look more like this.

Juolevi
Stecher
Palmu
2020 1st - top 5 protected
2019 3rd

for
Karlsson
Ryan

I don't disagree, but would you not concede that Hughes has higher value right now, so it would make sense that the Sens would ask for him first?

Also, it's easier to type Hughes than Juolevi, so I just got lazy.
