A) You have a deal.

B) Joseph isn't a center.

McGinn is the better player here. I wouldn't trade him or the 2nd straight up for Joseph.

He can play center, but he is definitely better as a winger

I like it. Get a new third line center like Domi maybe and have Kapanen and Joseph as wingers. Suddenly thats a very young, fast line.

Ottawa accepts.

I would do it. I like Joseph but Dorion screwed up (as usual) too much.

Seeing him makes me realize how stupid Dorion was to not sign Nick Paul to a almost similar contract (IIRC he wanted 3.25 AAV x 5 years)

Not only that, Paul trade was heavily disliked by Connor Brown who also asked to be traded

Dorion traded him at the worst time of year, in a buyer's market, for a 2nd

God knows how much we could have used Brown so far this season
