This is an interesting one. Not sure if the Sens would be the team to take #2, since our centre depth is already pretty good. However, adding Wright to the mix would be absolutely insane.

Why would Calgary retain on Lucic in this trade?

I like the Tkachuk trade but it is hard to give up Mercer not sure. I don Think they should trade for Bertuzzi as he is a nuisance off the ice and an anti-vaxer so he can’t play any games in Canada

Calgary trade is acceptable but there's no reason to pick up Lucic. The other trades aren't so great

Lucic? I understand Tkachuk but Lucic does nothing for us.

2nd overall for Tkachuk is only one that sounds worthwhile to me

Love Sharkolov but if that and a 3rd is the price then I’d hope Ottawa pulls the trigger.

definitely worth for the Sens. not sure if they do it, because there's no obvious spot for Wright and if they don't also have 7th overall as a trade piece, there's no like, big trades to be made by sending away Shane Pinto and having Wright take that spot. that being said, I think I'd say yes and just figure the rest out from there

I think the Devils could use some more physicality on both offense and defense (I feel they need a stay-at-home right-handed defenseman - one reason I thought about Lindstrom from Detroit). That's why I thought about taking Lucic with M. Tkachuk. I would hate to lose Mercer, but M. Tkachuk is becoming one the best forwards in the league and would come at a price to get him. As far as Detroit, I was at a toss-up among Bertuzzi, Rasmussen, and Zadina. Zadina getting a fresh start, or Rasmussen if moved to LW since Hughes and Hischier have the top center positions locked down for the foreseeable future. As far as Ottawa, I forgot about Shane Pinto in Ottawa's farm system and having Stutzle and Norris.

Can not see Yzerman making that deal.

Super easy pass for Detroit. The difference between 2nd and 8th pick in this draft ain't even close to Bertuzzi
