Chychrun, Korpisalo, and 7th overall

Swayman (with a fair pre-negotiated long-term deal)
If Cayden Lindstrom wasn’t perma broken and still there at 7 this wouldn’t be the worst deal.Chychrun, Korpisalo, and 7th overall

I just don’t think the Bruins are in the right timing to have 7OA in a defenseman heavy draft as the big part of the return. They need to take advantage of Pasta’s prime here, and waiting around for that pick to maybe develop isn’t gonna work.
Ullmark for Chychrun, if Ullmark is down for Ottawa, which I question, would make more sense for Boston.
It would be Chychurn not the 7th, if a trade.Ullmark only makes sense for Ottawa if he comes with a new contract. Otherwise it's too short sighted for them.
Boston could also flip 7 to a bad team for a pretty decent return IMO.

Oh yeah I meant to imply “is down” isn’t just waiving but extending. Boston just has very little incentive to make Swayman to a division rival or to anyone. They would have to be blown away and I don’t think “but maybe you can get something good for 7th OA!” cuts it.
I understand and that's fair.
My idea was along the lines of:
Boston swaps 7th OV for someone like Couture, Ehlers, Marner, or Terry (varying value of course but IDK who's actualy available, so they are just examples).
Chychrun + Ullmark + Forward > Swayman + the return for Ullmark (IMO)
A lot of that hinges on how much they want to win while Marchand is still effective though. It's not like they are Pittsburgh (old core), but they also aren't New Jersey (young core). They certainly have options, and trading Swayman to a division rival certainly has to make sense if they were to even entertain it.
