Ducks decline

though so

what if rangers sign and trade so something like a 4.25 by 3 and then we add robertson plus barron?

The Ottawa trade is nowhere close. Strome is a loaded gun with his upcoming deal because of being inflated by one of the best players in the league, so the Sens have zero interest in that, and 6+22+him is not anywhere close to enough for 3 anyways.

thanks for the feedback. now i know

i guess i would just change that so instead of byfield we have one of perfetti or rossi

I think Ottawa is asking for an absolute gold mine package to move up right now because Dorion has been pretty adamant that it's going to cost a lot. They won't really care for Strome as an asset, and 22 doesn't move the needle nearly as much as it would need to. But, I think the value is there. Still, you would be fine to just stay at 6 at that point then. Detroit may/will likely pick Perfetti at 4, but there's very little chance Ottawa takes Rossi at 5. Like many teams, they see him as being nowhere close to the BPA. He simply just isn't. It'll likely be Raymond at 5, or Ottawa seems to like Sanderson. If not, they have been reported to be fans of Quinn and Jarvis and would trade back to pick them. One of those two will slip to 6 in just about every scenario, I would say.
