Ottawa really doesn't need to add that much, especially on the Right side. I love Melo, and I'd take him back if we could get rid of Zaitsev, but there really isn't room anymore. Zub is going to get a larger role going forward, and I would be very surprised if JBD wasn't in the NHL next year.
Giving up that much for Manson doesn't make any sense for Ottawa. They Aren’t in a position to compete while he's on that contract, and it won't make any sense to re-sign him at the end of that deal. I also would steer clear of Stanley.
I think Ottawa should look to add a Veteran defensive LD. Brannstrom and Chabot are great, but flawed defensively. Getting a short term vets will set them up with an option to take defensive starts and play PK minutes until Jake Sanderson is ready to go.
