Ottawa doesn't even entertain that offer. Declined.

Nylander Bracco and Johnsson doesnt even get you the 5OA

Swap Bracco for 15OA and drop the NYI 2nd

I still wouldn’t do that

WIth all the discussion of Dorion taking Sanderson or Quinn @ 5OA has me suddenly devaluing the pick

I don’t think Quinn will be taken, Sanderson might but I still think unlikely. There’s just no way scouts watched Drysdale as a 17 year old looks so good at the WJC and Raymond get a hat trick in the finals on Askarov and not think those are the 2 best guys after the top 3

Hey man, Im praying your right. Im stressed.

Sanderson isn’t that much better than Broberg, York, Harley from Heinola who went in the 9-20 range last year in a draft that wasn’t as deep as this year.

Quinn isn’t even rated in the 10, would be a huge reach, I’d assume they’d trade down for sure to get him. You really can’t justify taking him over Raymond/Holtz/Perfetti/Rossi/Drysdale.

And Askarov I really have no idea where he ends up. But I assume the Sens should feel comfortable about trading for a Georgiev type goalie and/or are confident in their young goalies (Hogberg, Daccord, Sogard, Gustavsson, Mandolese) and maybe even draft another one in the 2nd or 3rd round this year. Plus Askarov would likely ask for Vasilevsky money and I’m sure Ottawa know that and don’t want to give it to him considering Russians can threaten to go back to the KHL

You and I are on exactly the same page, then you see articles and podcasts from people with very legitimate connections talking about these (imho) super reachy picks.
