I can't see OTT giving up Jarventie for Schenn. They'll just wait till the offseason to sign him,

didnt the canucks just move hamonic,because hes a anti vaccer and was driving everyone in the dressing room crazy.schenn has revived his career in vcr.

Fair enough on the Jarventie front, I am basing this trade on Friedman's report that the Sens are looking to upgrade the d-core on the trade market. Not only does this trade immediately improve Hamonic into Schenn, but also adds cap space to make a corresponding move. Would a lesser prospect or draft pick get it done from your perspective? Ostapchuk/Pettersson/Johansson?

I can see what you're saying, but as mentioned above this trade is purely business in swapping Schenn for Hamonic who is a worse dman + costs mores while adding a prospect or draft pick to our cupboard.

It all depends on what OTT's plan for Schenn was. If they were acquiring him so that they could sign him before he hits free agency, then a lesser prospect or mid round pick would work. But with them not being in playoff contention, it doesn't make sense IMO to trade any prospects of picks for him unless there is a future plan.
