<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>yikes</b></div><div>Issue is if Matthews comes back for Game 6 - Sheldon will change the lines, and I’d argue:

Bertuzzi - Domi - Marner
Cannot be broken up after last game.

Generated a lot of offence and good both ways: and Domi was phenomenal in the dot (which again I’ll always say it, faceoffs matter no matter what anyone else says).

And it’s hard to move Knies and Tavares apart after they both made smart plays for the game winner (Knies drives the net off a line change perfectly and Tavares doesn’t care about his own foot speed, he made the best play available to him).

I saw some Leafs Twitter discuss

Bert - Domi - Marner
Knies - Matthews - Nylander
Robertson - Tavares - Whomever
4th Line
Scratch Reaves

But I’d personally say I liked Holmbergs game and I’d run this to allow Matthews to not have to work as hard/ kill himself:

Bert - Domi - Marner
Knies - Tavares - Nylander
Robertson - Holmberg - Matthews
4th Line

Scratch Reaves

This way Matthews gets unique matchups but idk “playing him against” Geekies line will be good with the hard hitting.</div></div>

I think no matter where Matthews is in the lineup, he's going to get the Coyle matchup

So Robertson+Holmberg+Matthews would be better than Knies+Matthews+Nylander

Robertson-Matthews-Holmberg
Bert-Domi-Marner
Knies-JT-Willy
Dewar-Kampf-Reaves (Need to keep Reaves in to settle the rats)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CantStopWontStop</b></div><div>Anybody have a guess on Chychrun’s trade value and next contract?

Revisiting his last trade, he went for a sub 16 draft pick (unknown at time and top 5 protected), a 2nd, and a 2nd 2 years later.

I’m finding him very comparable to Vince Dunn and his 4 year, 7.35AAV, and acquiring him gets you next season at his current aav of 4.6.

I wonder if Ottawa gets back “more” than they paid, primarily because Chychrun played all 82 games this past season, and the acquiring team would be extending at the time of trade. I think they can flip him for more.

I dunno if my blues would be involved but the left side of our d is going to change eventually, one way or the other.</div></div>

Personally, I would keep Chychrun and move Chabot out if I were Ottawa.

Sanderson is the absolute stud of the future there and they need a RD complement to him (a defensively responsible partner) to allow Sanderson to push the play. Pesce would be ideal but Demelo or Matt Roy would be in the mix.
Chychrun-Zub as their 2nd pair would be ideal. If they strike out on their top pair targets then maybe Sean Walker and bump Zub up to the top pair.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>yikes</b></div><div>Personally,
I see zero benefits for the Sens to be go like 6-14 for the rest of the year (idk how many games are left).

I know I know there’s prospects and the Sens can hit big. But there is something wrong with the organization. I ain’t gonna sugar coat it, I think a lot of it could have been fixed this year if they fired DJ, last year. But the Sens aren’t even behind the 8 ball, they’re so far behind where they should be it’s scary. Tbh the roster shouldn’t even be allowed to be on vacation that long, they need camps to start in July lol.</div></div>

More than DJ Smith, the sale process dragging into the late summer was disastrous for the team. The DeBrincat trade and the Korpisalo contract never should have happened if the NHL hadn't dragged their heels on confirming the bid.
