Quoting: Sabres923
Ottawa won’t trade their first either. They aren’t good enough to make a move like this.
Ottawa is open and ready to make a trade like this. The 7th OA pick is available. Sokolov is a fan favorite prospect but with the log jam coming up it will be very hard to make the team anyway. They can afford to move him
If they make this trade, they could literally have this forward group :
Tkachuk - Norris - Batherson
Greig - Stutzle - Fiala
Formenton - Pinto - Brown
Joseph - White - Watson
Crookshank - Kastelic - Kelly
I know some will say Joseph, Brown or Formenton are more proven than Greig for that LW spot, which is true but I think this kid makes the team and never looks back.
