Holloway is not getting traded PERIOD. He is McDaddy's future, maybe this year left winger.

OTT declines and its not close.

Holloway isnt enough to:

- Dump Neal: Costs 1st++
- Dump Chiasson: Costs a late pick
- Acquire Tierney: 2nd+midpick
- Acquire Reilly: Midpick
- Acquire Dzingel: Midpick

why would Vancouver do that deal? Easy pass

Why would they not lol? They not making the playoffs. Sutter isn't worth that much on the market.

They get:

- An RFA protected decent 3rd liner that will not cost much.
- Potentially Turris turning things around with a home coming on your 4th.
- A High pick for taking Turris salary next year

Do you prefer a 5th round pick?

A high pick for taking Turris’ salary? A 7th round is the lowest pick you can give. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yes a 5th round pick would be preferable

We'll do Sutter 50% retained for a 4th but we aren't taking Turris

I think holloway is definitely worth it, id do this pretty quick tbh. wouldn't get a higher-end piece back for Tierney, Reilly, and Dzingel that would contribute to the sens future as much as he would. Chiasson is a UFA at seasons end so if anything he actually has positive value and isint a dump, taking on neal for 2 years is the kicker but the sens could probably make it work with the big time UFA's they have coming off the cap this year and that theyll still have a bunch of kids on ELC's in their lineup until neals contract is up (Pinto, JBD, Stutzle)

oilers ain't giving holloway up

Chiasson being UFA doesnt make him positive value, he just is less negative. It is still millions in salary to be paid, and still takes a contract spot.

As for Dzinger, Tierney and Rielly, they wont alone net any asset as nice as Holloway, but they would get use stores of value in picks. Picks we can package to upgrade pieces later on, or just draft and develop for reinforcements later in the "unparalleled success"

OTT could make Neal's salary work, but its an inefficient use imho. If were already talking about an imaginary world where OTT is willing to weaponize cap space, im just going to picture an imaginary world where we do so efficiently.
