Speculation: Sens need to trade a core player

[Golden_Jet]

Timo ain’t waiving to go from a contender in Jersey to a cancer culture Ottawa team.

That’s good, as Ottawa isn’t looking to get worse.

A 1st round pick and maybe a prospect like Unger Sörum?

I think that’s fair and around what I had in mind

there’s a few reasons. #1 was that his first season was his only season with Tavares on the team, and teams were focused on stopping him, not Barzal. Then Tavares leaves and we get Barry Trotz who drastically changed the system and made a huge focus on turning Barzal into a 200 foot player. He also never really had a bonafied first line player on his line until last year with Horvat. I agree that he hits 100 in the right situation.

Anyway a Barzal trade would need to involve Tkachuk or Stutzle, and we add.

I would definitely consider Tkachuk for Barzal+ if we're able to move Norris. Having a Stutzle-Barzal 1-2 punch is a potential 200+ point duo.

I really do wonder if this off-season sees a Tkachuk trade request. And at that point, maybe he pulls a Matthew and strong arms his destination.

Ottawa is my second favorite team.When I look at this team my concern is what is behind the bench.Green Baumgartner Yeo was a cluster f__k in Vancouver.I hated them there and now hating them on the Sens...I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel until they are gone.Very bad coaches.

Brady Tkachuk to the Blues in the summer.

Brady Tkachuk to the Blues in the summer.

What would you offer?

What's the market value for Zub or Jensen? Probably not core guys but Vancouver would be interested in 1 of them and can send a return around Myers and Hoglander back.

Brady's NMC kicks in this June, so if we wanna trade him has to be well before then or else as you said, he will strong arm his destination.

However he's under contract and not an RFA like Matthew so OTT doesn't have to honor any trade request
