Not even close for Ottawa
I would be willing to increase the value going back the other way, say by adding a Bolduc.
The notion that the Isles have completely tanked Bellows value though, I think is completely overblown. Has it dropped? Sure, but the team has arguably the second best team the last two years, is a team run by two of the most conservative coach/gm in the league when it comes to rookies, and is a defense above literally everything team.
This was also based on a recent article out of Ottawa that the Sens are looking for a Forward, and would be looking to offer Brannstrom, a player with a negligible number of additional NHL games over Bellows. Also, let’s not kid ourselves, Bellows would be a roster player already on basically half the teams in the league. He has a great shot, but he is figuring for a roster spot on a very deep roster, and with a coach/GM that have extremely short leashes for Rookies. Put him on an offense focused roster, and the points will come.
