Injury troubles, NMC kicking in soon, and his play has declined (although playing with Hamonic and Bernard-Docker hasn’t done him any favours).
Considering how the Sens exiled Formenton well before any other team did, I'd say Ottawa is the least likely team Hart gets traded to.
Gonna make wild guess of a big deal
To
C Morgan Frost
C Scott Laughton
LW Joel Farabee
RW Garnett Hathaway
To
C Shane Pinto
RW Mathieu Joseph
RW Tyler Boucher
D Thomas Chabot
Torts hates Frost, Organization soured on Farabee for some reason and Laughton name has been out there for a while and Hathaway was meh at his cost and is getting older
I assume Sens are weary of another contract battle with Pinto, Joseph value is probably never higher after this past season, Flyers have been linked to Boucher in past and Chabot NTC doesn't kick in until summer so if Sens want to make big move involving him now is time
Its been a while since we had a major player swap
-- Don't actually expect it to really happen, but it would be fun to see --
Kleven is no where near top 4 ready

- Drysdale has not been a good fit with the Flyers. His previous injuries might make them concerned that he could be a bust. Chabot is not the player he was a few years ago, but could get back there with a change of scenery. Ultimately, swapping Drysdale for Chabot ensures that the Flyers get a (still young) core player for Cutter Gauthier and don't risk walking away with nothing.
- Ottawa taking Atkinson or Petersen offsets Chabot's cap hit being inflated.
- Who the hell knows what Boucher is worth, but the optics look good for Philadelphia, and they apparently wanted him last year when the Senators were trying to dump Joseph.
- Ottawa is going to move a first round pick to Boston, so they swap it for the 32nd overall and get a sweetener in return.
- Flyers only do this because they have a specific player very high who might be there at 7. So moving up from 12 to 7 is effectively like moving up from 12 to 3 if the player is on the board. 12 to 3 to take Korpisalo is worth it.
Chychrun (4.6M x 1 year w/ 6.5M extension)
32nd Overall
Random B or C Level Piece (Sokolov? Future 3rd Round Pick? Etc.)
Ullmark (5.0M x 1 year w/ 5.75M extension)
- This trade has already been heavily rumored by league executives.
- Staios justifies moving the 1st with Chychrun because they were able to trade down with Philadelphia and get an extra pick out of it, so they still walk away with the same number of top 64 picks.
No
TK miles better than both. Also contingent on re-signing obviously
You and others completely make up these fake narratives with Torts
Essentially. UFAs can begin talking to teams on the 25th. Teams need to make adjustments now so they aren't backed into a corner on July 1 when contracts can actually be inked.
You already forgot the game where Torts benched Farabee after two shifts?

Teams also give players permission to speak with others teams if they have no interest in signing that player
True, but that can technically happen at any time, also
