Wouldnt trading him to PIT make more sense?
They're closer even if older and have Letang, Karlsson, Malkin and Crosby there already
Let the Transition to Team Wilson begin and help Ovi go to a team that can spark his Scoring again.
I mean having a Cheerleading team of Lamieux, Crosby, Malkin, Letang and Karlsson would boost his ego im sure.
Plus if they could get Fluery backing up Jarry i think you'll see Jarry's play boosts as every Tandem partner MAF has does.

The Vintage Team could sign a couple younger guys like Dakota Joshua or acquire a Kaliyev and be in prime shape for a run

Dubas couldn't handle a trade as big and important as that.
