Apart for Branstrom-Guhle, these trades make no sense for Mtl

Pinto is way more valuable than that package imo. Poehling really hasn't impressed me at all as an NHL player, Mysak is a decent prospect, but not close to Pinto, and Ottawa doesn't really need another goalie prospect at all.

Brannstrom is older, but I really don't think Kaiden Guhle is anything special at all. I think Brannstrom will put it all together and be a really strong 2nd pair OFD.

idk where White and Drouin sit In terms of trade Value, but Drouin is really not the kind of player Ottawa needs by any stretch. He's not a finisher and he's really bad defensively. I think Ottawa should just run it back with White. Drouin might be the better player, especially if he bounces back, but I think he's a much worse fit for what the Senators want to be.

The exchange of Dman with the first trade seems fair.
White for Drouin might be fair as an exchange of two guys trying to find their game .
But Sens think Pinto can be a 2C, and those Montreal players, don't have nearly as high a ceiling as Pinto.

As a habs fan I hate all 3 of these deals

Brannstrom nothing is going to change the fact he is 5'9. Hes not Ryan Ellis who plays bigger than his listing and at 22 hasnt demonstrated anything beyond being a PP dman.

Pinto doesnt move the needle. Theres no guarantee hes a material improvement on Poehling and to give up both Mysak and Primeau to make that happen doesnt make sense.

Why would they want white period. below .5 ppg last 2 seasons terrible defensively and bad in the faceoff dot while being signed to a contract he isnt worth for 4 more years. Drouin atleast is over a .5 ppg every year.

I might be interested in that White trade but not really any of the rest

I see Pinto being as good as Cirelli if not better

I was going to say the exact same thing, but for Ottawa

MTL
Brännström, Erik
OTT
Guhle, Kaiden

Brannstrom is better than Guhle, but it gives the Sens a 2+ year reset on an asset's age, and it could allow Ottawa to transition from Chabot/Brannstrom to, Chabot/Sanderson, to Sanderson/Guhle and trading off Chabot for more assets and cap space that may be needed at that time.


MTL
Pinto, Shane
OTT
Poehling, Ryan
Mysak, Jan
Primeau, Cayden

This makes zero sense for Ottawa. Ottawa will keep the centre


MTL
White, Colin
OTT
Drouin, Jonathan
Ylönen, Jesse

Colin White might not be great, but there's no reason to trade him for a B prospect and a questionable, and overpaid winger. Ottawa will keep the centre
