<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>evelutions2</b></div><div>You are crazy if you think the Canes are trading Pesce just to get Formenton, who isn’t even as good as Necas yet. I would expect for Pesce the starting piece is something along the lines of Tkachuk. And that is never happening so it’s a moot point.

For Formenton, I would offer up 2 quality prospects and a pick, with the prospects coming in about when Ottawa’s cup window starts to really open up. I would offer something along the lines of Honka, Gunler, and a 5th. A projected top 4 RHD and a projected top 6 RW, and a 5th. Do you think the Sens would consider that package.</div></div>

I'm not suggesting that it would just be Formenton. I was putting it out there to see what sort of package that includes Formenton would it take to get Pesce. The Sens are not in a rebuilding window anymore. You can see from the DeBrincat trade, the team is looking to fill in holes in the lineup so they can make the playoffs this season. A top 4 RD is a player they're looking for.

Sujet: Cat Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>I've had this discussion with Sens fans and it seems to be the consensus that Sanderson is untouchable. But we need RHD more than LHD anyway, and I was told that JBD or Thomson could be on the table for a Cat trade.</div></div>

Yes. Bernard-Docker or Thomson would replace Sanderson. Both are very good RD prospects. To replace the 2023 1st round pick, I think it would be more realistic to have Alex Formenton included. He's a 21 year old LW with lots of speed. He scored 18 goals this season playing on the 2nd line and he's good at killing penalties. A lot of Sens fans are also high on Ridly Greig and so is the organization. Would you consider taking Viktor Lodin instead? He's looking like he's going to be a good prospect as well. I just know that Greig is going to fit well into our lineup and Lodin is a type of player that we have an excess of. You can take out the Minnesota 2nd rounder to make up for it.

To summarize:

To Chicago - Bernard-Docker or Thomson, 2022 1st Round Pick (7th overall), Lodin &amp; 2022 2nd Round Pick (Tampa Bay)
To Ottawa - DeBrincat &amp; Murphy

Sujet: more ideas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MNHockey19</b></div><div>this is my unprofessional opinion, but i would say maybe an extra prospect or 2nd round pick with what i have now. Probably something like fiala and dumba for two picks in the first two rounds and a prospect. But I am not sure, I haven't seen a lot of fiala and dumba packages</div></div>

I'm not too worried about the pick being unprotected. Ideally if you're adding Fiala and possibly Dumba, then the team shouldn't be finishing in the bottom 10. People also have to consider that Minnesota is not in a position where they can negotiate with a lot of power. They're in a serious cap crunch and Fiala just had a career year. They need to trade salary. There aren't many teams that have the cap space to just trade no salary back to the Wild.

As for throwing Dumba in, Ottawa could offer up Tampa's 2nd round pick and one of our goalie prospects. Probably Mandolese. Or since you need a backup goalie and it's unlikely that Fleury will re-sign, we could send Gustavsson and a 3rd round pick instead. What are your thoughts?

Sujet: What if Dorion actually did get a top 6 forward
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Melnyk_0ut</b></div><div>two would be nice but not realistic. I'd be very comfortable with our forward group if we acquired only one, especially with guys like Formenton, Pinto, Brown, Joseph who can all easily slot into the top 6 and be complement players if needed. I agree we need one more defenceman but I don't think it will happen, especially after the acquisition of Hamonic. I'm okay with Hamonic as a #4 for now. The 6 I have above is easily the best group we've had in a long time (which isn't a high bar but I'll take it)</div></div>

I agree that it will likely just be the 1 top 6 forward, but I still think they'll come up short next season when it comes to the playoffs. I agree it's not likely to happen, but it's definitely what's needed to have a good chance at the post season. We'll see what happens. I do hope they fill all 3 needs though and dump Zaitsev.
