Pierre-Luc Dubois (career 0.67 PPG at the time) was just traded at 22 with a 3rd for Laine (career 0.82 PPG at the time) and Roslovic (0.37 PPG at the time). Ryan Johansen (0.62 PPG in CBJ) was traded at 23 for Jones (0.32 PPG in NSH, top 4 potential). Matt Duchene (0.73 PPG in COL) was traded at 26 for a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, Girard (top 4 D prospect), Bowers (middle 6 C prospect), Kamenev (bottom 6 forward prospect), and Hammond (fringe backup goalie). Those are probably the best examples of big names being traded.
Brady (career 0.62 PPG) is still 21 years old and has played on one of the worst teams in the league but still compares remarkably well to guys like Dubois and Johansen. You're looking at the Dubois trade as the closest comparable, so the Sens would be expecting a Laine-esque return. That means the only return Calgary that could ever offer that would move the needle for Ottawa would be Matthew Tkachuk, and that's not going to happen.
Considering he's younger than Duchene, if you wanted to go the direction of futures, it would be looking far more in the direction of what an offer sheet would cost and the Sens would probably match anything up until the four 1sts bracket and at that point you're just overpaying for the player in dollars. It'll cripple the team before anything else can be done.
