Not close on the Jeannot deal. NSH declines

Ottawa can't afford Dumba next year.

big no on greenway

At a likely $4M per, the Sens should be able to bring him back just fine. Hamonic too. It'll just beg the question on what Dorion plans on doing with some of the depth options like Brännström, Watson, Holden, and Motte.

Dumba will probably end up costing more than that and that's an overpay to acquire him anyways

what would needed to be added ? a 2nd round or is he close to untouchable unless massive over payment ?

Ottawa only accepts this scenario if Minnesota takes Zaitsev.

Exactly what you said. Untouchable barring a big overpayment

Current market value lists him at $3.9M dollars.

If he thinks he's getting more than that he'll be unemployed next year.

Weekes tweeted recently that Ottawa is willing to trade a high draft pick or prospect for someone to take Zaitsev. I’d imagine a deal would look something like:

Dumba for Zaitsev+1st(top 15protected)+JBD

Minnesota allows Ottawa to negotiate a contract before the trade. Pick becomes 2024 1st if in the top 15

Probably not and he definitely is (at the TDL)!
