Are they even allowed to do that with the DeBrincat trade condition?

No thank you on the Offer Sheets especially with Raymond and Seider coming up

I think they're predicting which pick the Sens will get

your sure you want to offersheet with Sieder coming up? and with not a lot of money coming off the books

Can't trade that same pick twice but man would I love to have Bouchard on the team.

Could've been....

So the offersheet happens in next years offseason? That only works if Edmonton gives Bouchard a one year deal now.

We do not need to offer sheet Bouchard. Our future long term top 4 Defense is actually looking solid with

Edvinsson - Seider
Wallinder - Sandin Pellikka

A better plan would be to use those draft picks to draft forwards or to trade them and get another impact forward.

Also offer sheeting Bouchard would burn a bridge with a very good ally. Ken Holland. He is a good trading partner for Detroit and good deals can often come from him.
Two 2nds for AA.
Klim Kostin for basically free, (500k in cap penalty).

Assuming Wallinder and Pellikka pan out, I cannot see a world where our top-4 isn't
Wallinder-Seider
Edvinsson-Pellikka
Offense and defense.

Could be

Assuming they all reach their potential. That top 4 would be insane. And considering ASP's draft year numbers are better than Erik Karlssons draft year numbers, I think he has pretty good potential. Toss in a couple stay at home bruisers on the bottom pair and the defense is lit.

Yes it would. If they all hit their ceilings that is the best top-4 in the league, no doubt. We just need a RD for Brady Mfin Cleveland.

Antti Tuomisto, 6'5" is a RD Big body physical bottom pair guy. Has taken the long road. Signed for GR this season. Had a really good year in Finland last season. Him and Cleveland would be a mean combination.
Andrew Gibson 6'3" is a RD Big body physical bottom pair guy. Promising blue chip prospect. Too early to tell.
Anton Johansson 6'4" is a RD Big body bottom pair guy. Finally getting minutes in the SHL. Long shot.

Those are the three best RD in our system after ASP. Definitely nothing flashy but all 6'3", or above play physical and good skaters. if none of them pan out. Find a bottom pair RD Radko Gudas type in a trade or free agency.

As long as we get Brady Cleveland, we goof
