Ottawa accepts.

You're off by a fair bit.

Lassi is still a blue chip prospect, despite not making the team last year.

He's someone I might give up for his brother Ryan, especially if there's a baked-in extension



As for Dylan Strome, he will never be a 1st line forward on any team.

His season from 2018-2019 appears to be a one-off IMO.

I do this.

I like Thomson, but Strome is a very good player. He struggled early last season, but did much better after he returned from his concussion. Ottawa needs another good young centre, and can afford to give Thomson.

After looking over the Blackhawks roster, you should be asking for a LD, not a RD. You have Jones and Murphy on the right side forn five more years, but only McCabe on the left. DeHaan needs to be replaced, soon.

The problem being with that is that Brannstrom is not the same value as Thomson. I also believe management are interested in the developing prospects in the pipeline on the left with C.Jones, W.Kalynuk, N.Beaudin, J.Galvas (who really impressed in training camp and pre-season and has pro experience in Europe).
