<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>herzausstein</b></div><div>Id do glass for Barron personally. I think Barron would work with Brunette's system. I wouldnt give Parssinen or Tomasino for him though. Harris is a nonstarter as well. Dont need another small dman when we have lots of them coming up in the system.</div></div>

Oh, for sure, I get that. I wouldn't get mad about a Barron for Glass trade, I'd just rather use a pick and/or prospect to get Barron instead.

I'm not super optimistic that Glass ever puts it together, but there is talent there, and he's still young enough that his fate isn't set in stone yet. Even NSH's best players took a long time to click with Brunette's system. I don't want to write off Glass (or Tomasino or Pärssinen, for that matter), because it might be take them longer to figure it out.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JZ_DAL</b></div><div>only way OTT can take on Saros is if Norris or Korpisalo are gone, definitely not taking him unless 1 of the goalies are gone aswell, I had Laughton &amp; FLA 1st for Chychrun, I would give BOS &amp; FLA 1st, Korpisalo &amp; Jarventie for Saros</div></div>

Meh, I don't love it for NSH. I might be more open to it if NSH had a buy out slot available, if Korpisalo can't be fixed.

I really don't think OTT is NSH's best trade partner, when it comes to Saros. The Sens' prospect pool doesn't have much to offer NSH, and any players OTT would be willing to move don't do much for the Preds either. OTT's own 1st in 2024 is really the only asset they have that might entice Trotz to move Saros, before next season's deadline (assuming NSH isn't in a playoff position and/or Askarov has shown he's ready to be an NHL starter).

I think NSH could get a return that works better for them from other teams, like NJ, LA or CAR.
