Money talks.Schmaltz has a 10-team NTC. Good chance Ottawa is one of those 10 teams.
I personally would not be interested in deal, but others might.Dylan Guenther OR Clayton Keller + Lawson Crouse + picks
for
Brady Tkachuk + Josh Norris
I disagree. Crouse needs a change of scenery to snap out of it and the way that he has been playing... his production can be replaced. And I do believe a trade with the Sens would snap him out of his mediocre play.Utah can't afford to lose Crouse and his size. What about Schmaltz? Schmaltz is probably the better player production wise, and has had injuries in the past as well, but Norris is a C, and a good one when healthy. Past injuries still a concern with Norris.
Also would be interested in a Pinto for Crouse trade scenario, if trading for Norris isn't practical. Like Pinto's contract more than Norris, but Norris is the better player/fit.Actually, would this trade interest Utah?

I'd do Crouse+ for Norris. Not a big plus, maybe like Lutz or someone in that tier, but I feel like Keller and Guenther are in that group of players you don't move unless it's a necessity.
Also, Crouse starts slow every year. He'll get 15+ goals and 40ish points by the time the season ends.
