Quoting: TCMonkey
I thought it might be nice to bring him in for Stützle, but I'm fine leaving him out of the deal if that's what gets it done.
Yeah thought the same thing, more fair if you leave out JJP out of the mix
Pretty good offer IMO and "affordable" for Ottawa because it's positions where we have the most strength
1) White, Colin : former 1st round pick, good 3rd line player still maturing, a bit overpaid but still a good piece for Buffalo (similar to Tierney in the EK deal). I'd prefer to keep him though as he is CHabot's best buddy
2) Brown, Logan : another former 1st round pick, doesn't have that value anymore because time has passed but people may not realize how much time he lost because of Covid + injuries, it's almost like he was still 21 y/o. Pretty good bet to take for Buffalo in their situation
3) Järventie, Roby : early 2nd round pick last year. His stock raised a bit with his performance in Liiga and AHL, even though he didn't do much at the WJC, so he's probably worth at least a late 1st rounder right now.
Brännström, Erik : with Chabot and Sanderson 25 mins each on LD (plus Kleven, etc), it will be hard for Brannstrom to get the TOI he needs
2022 2nd round pick (TBL) : a 2nd is a 2nd, always a good piece
2022 1st round pick (OTT) : could still be a pretty good pick. Even with Eichel, there's still a lot of inexperience on the team.
Brannstrom, 1st, Jarventie, Brown + White + 2nd, worth approx these 4 first rounders they are asking
Problem is you'd need Buffalo to have faith in all these guys. They'd probably really like Brannstrom and Jarventie but probably not both White and Logan Brown.
