<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>herzausstein</b></div><div>I could see it working if they took McDonagh as a legit part of the payment and he was willing to go there. Maybe chychrun and Josi could pair up and chychrun long term replaces josi but outside of that? We have too much tied up in LHD at the moment and it isnt a place in dire need of an upgrade like other areas of the team.

Lauzon wont be traded either. Brings too much that management/coach likes in grit/hits especially to be traded out for a guy that doesnt hit at all.</div></div>

Yeah, without McDonagh in NSH, it's more realistic for the Preds. It's hard to imagine him willing to be traded there though. Then when you think about how willing would OTT be to trade Chychrun for a more expensive, much older replacement, not to mention how do they make room for McDonagh's cap hit without a lot of other moves - I think it's too unrealistic for the Sens now.

Maybe the Devils would be interested in Chychrun? Their left side isn't the strongest.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Borocop</b></div><div>i think he could be fine on PP2, problem in ottawa is he wasnt even the PP2 handler he was a shooter this year. I think his 5 on 5 production could get back to a high level if he can play his strong side, and even though i’ve signed him in this acgm I think Carrier would be a really good partner for him.</div></div>

If NSH were to add Chychrun and re-sign Carrier, they'd have too many defensemen.

McDonagh-Josi
Chychrun-Carrier
Lauzon-Fabbro
DelGaizo-Schenn

That's just the ones they'd have to expose to waivers. Stastney absolutely deserves a roster spot over a couple of those guys, but he'd be stuck in the AHL again, because he's still exempt. Plus Molendyk could be in the mix too. Brunette wanted to keep him in NSH instead of sending him back to junior last fall.

Acquiring Chychrun doesn't really address any huge needs for NSH, and the assets it would take to get him could be better spent elsewhere (like improving the middle six). NSH re-signing him beyond his current contract would be hard to justify too, with multiple LDs with term who aren't going anywhere and NHL ready young ones who'll need roster spots.

Despite <a href="/users/Ennis" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Ennis</a> being a confirmed Lauzon hater who'd pay you to take him, Trotz and Brunette love the guy. He's not getting moved anytime soon.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Borocop</b></div><div>it was an issue at the draft cycle but it’s not anymore, it’s been a major area of development for him. He will never be a + skater per se, but his mobility is more than passable for a player in his mould. Again he’s not a perfect prospect but I think he has upside in the right situation</div></div>

The Blues would want a bona fide top 4 Dman and Army insists on plus skaters. People can say all sorts of things about the Blues Dmen the last couple seasons, but everyone is a plus skater. Been that way for years. Kleven is definitely not a plus skater and he also has issues with passing. In these ways, he does not fit the profile they like. Keleven's defense and stick and physicality fit (the last one to an extent, as he's kinda too aggressive a lot of times).
