Top 9 should be :
Tkachuk-Norris-Giroux
Debrincat-Stutzle-Batherson
Formenton-Pinto-Joseph

Brown is likely being traded . Also Zaitsev won’t be on the team, they’re looking to acquire a top 4D in the upcoming weeks

I could see Tkachuk, DeB and G being a line putting up a ton of points… sorta reminds me of the Jagr, Hartnell, Giroux line in Philly

I can’t see Giroux playing centre tbh. Norris, Stutzle and Pinto will all be playing centre

Yeah, if he becomes a S’en it will be to play wing… maybe this is a PP line, although Giroux was playing RD on the pp a lot in Philly… more of a sliding into that position because Philly doesn’t have a RD, but lots of interesting things can happen

I hope so. I would love the Leafs - Sens rivalry to be reignited. Debrincat is a huge W for them

IF they bring in Giroux this is likely the top 9, which is great.

Now I know Brown is likely gone, and it sounds like he may be included in the talks to bring Chycurin back, not sure if they can include Zaistev in that deal but would be another huge W for the Sens.

IF they do Chycrin then they can;t do Girox as well, so what is Plan B then. Something via free agency ?

Can I interest you in a slightly used Justin Holl...?

hahah hell no

i wouldnt be totally surprised if he went to ottawa tbh. Im hoping he moves, just no idea where

I have read those rumors too, but I don't see the need for the Sens to add him when they will still have Holden and Hammoic next year. Especially with Sanderson expected to step in on the second pairing.

The names being thrown around are Marino , Carlo, Chychrun , Weegar etc . The Sens can send a protected 1st and one of Thomson/JBD/Brannstrom at a minimum if not more
