No point in trading for Anderson if you’re gonna pay Rakell and Rust all that money for THIRD line minutes.

Doubt OTT gonna do that. they are solid on d they need a star foward for that pick

Habs pass. They arent trading Josh for a bunch of middling pieces.

He's exactly the type of player we need. And any of our top 9 forwards can play on any line. Having this much depth is a good problem to have. It would just be a matter of who has the best chemistry.

Grewe pretty much has no value at this point as he hasn’t lived up to his draft position and probably won’t ever get an NHL contract

Exactly we do need an RD but if we're dealing 7th it's for a better player. The trade is decent value but Ottawa needs a Fiala type player.

I've seen the Ottawa trade a couple times in Pens ACGMs and tbh I don't know how I feel about it. Ottawa is getting solid value there, and then there's the whole "Sens are probably gonna take a guy who was supposed to go 20th anyways" of it all. But I agree with others that the Sens probably would be looking to get somebody that moves the needle a bit more for 7th overall, even if they're getting a different 1st back. Considering I know that the Sens probably aren't targeting like, Kemell anyways, I'd probably do this as a trade day deal at the moment the 6th pick is made and Jiricek and Nemec are both already taken. If any of the top 5 (wright, slaf, cooley, jiricek, nemec) are still on the board (which won't happen anyways), Sens keep the pick, otherwise, I'd say I'd do it

Speak for yourself. I’d easily take that trade and flip Kapanen for a pick. Albeit tbh i’d rather have quality than quantity in return, but wtv i still like the idea of getting over a 2nd in value in return for a glorified 3rd line scorer who can play 2nd line .That contract is gonna hurt us so badly in a few years.

Detroit will accept but Heinen has very little value so we ask for Nylander instead, you're putting him through waivers anyway.

Personally I think both of these trades could go either way. At the very least I think both are a good starting point.
