<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EmilieCastonguay</b></div><div>I appreciate your comments. I like OTT's depth, and you are right that they have solid on-paper depth in their top 6. I also made an assumption that some of that depth may be compromised due to an on-going investigation into a certain incident that has been in the news cycle through the summer months. Independent of that, it never hurts to have NHL scoring depth at a cost controlled number. Looking at my own team, who have professed to have depth in spades at the start of each season, only to have unforeseen injuries or COVID derail it.

I think Garland is a good piece who like I noted, scored at a 1st line pace while essentially getting 2nd/3rd line ice-time. He alone would justify the return for a player like JBD who hasn't reached his potential yet PLUS a first round pick. I was generous and assumed that OTT would prefer the '24 2nd round in exchange.

As far as Watson's inclusion, it was more of a numbers game PLUS a player like Dermott could slot in and support the Sens right now - which is why Dorian and company made right now moves like signing a 34yo Claude Giroux, traded for 35yo Cam Talbot, while also stocking for the future by trading away Matt Murray to the Leafs. If OTT is out of the playoffs or want to move in a different direction, they could flip Dermott at the TDL for picks or prospects. OR as an RFA, they have a measure of cost control that would allow them to accommodate salary increases to other RFAs (and more prominent ones) like Tim Stutzle and the aforementioned Alex DeBrincat.</div></div>

Yeah value of your proposal is fine, it's just that Ottawa should need JBD a lot more in the future than either Garland or Dermott

Also, of course if Formenton and Batherson were guilty, that would complicate things. Replacing Batherson won't be easy but Sens have several good forward prospects still developing, so Formenton shouldn't be too hard, although his speed makes him pretty unique

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>COL isn’t trading for Miller. They have zero chance of re-signing him. Need all the upcoming elc contracts that can contribute which would be Behrens, and they aren’t trading their only pick in the first 5 rounds of consecutive drafts. COL to VAN doesn’t work for COL.</div></div>

Personally i think its what the contenders do to put them over the top. It's going to be a rental for sure but it gives us another weapon upfront to help replace kadri and burkys additional scoring. Our window is right now, the player drafted with this pick won't be ready for another 3 years and behrens won't be cracking the roster next year either so it really doesn't take away from our time in the win now mode and gives us an excellent shot of going back to back with the cup
