No Ottawa doesn't do that

They love Formenton a lot and rightfully

He's a Kredier-esque forward that probably gets around 20 to possibly 30 goals in a season.

I don't think a lot of people know this but he scored 18 goals this year while playing in about ~70 games.

13 goals at even strength and led the NHL with 5 short handed goals

As a 22 y/o rookie

But that is just a detail, his size/speed/nastiness package is way too enticing to give up.

Once Brown leaves which I think he does via trade this winter then Formenton and Joseph will form their next elite PK and those two are amazing skaters.

Connor Brown is pretty damn fast. Formenton is on another level but both Brown and Joseph are plus skaters

I am not sure Connor Brown is traded. I don't know what their plan is but he's the Sens best 2-way winger, their #1 PK forward and has been the most used Sens forward in each of the last 3 seasons. He's out there in every situation, coach relies on him a lot

Let's see which winger they acquire this summer first, then who complicates things at training camp...

Or what prospect they hope makes things interesting so they don't have to acquire a winger.


I think that Buraskovsky would be one of the best options though. Or Nechuskin. Both would compliment Stutzle well and be potentially 30 goal scorers and both would have deep playoff experience.
