Description
Seems like they have an abundance of good prospects and draft picks, but not enough bona-fide elite prospects, especially at centre. Plus tons of cap space. On paper they sound like the perfect trading partner. Ottawa fans, any reason why not?

Additional Details:
Honestly don't know a ton about Sens prospects so this value could be way off, mostly just wanted to know from Sens fans why they wouldn't be interested.

divisional rivals, OTT not trading core pieces as in Norris and eichel is too risky to give up so much not knowing if he will ever be the same as before his injury, production wise.

Fair enough. Slightly off topic but out of curiosity what do you see as Norris' ceiling if you aren't willing to give him up for Eichel?

Ottawa shouldn’t be giving up guys like Norris and JBD is why, it doesn’t make sense for a rebuilding team to give up their only good young pieces at 2 important positions (C and right handed D). If they’d be willing to go for a collection of guys like Pinto, Brannstrom, Jarventie, Daccord, 10th/38th/41st overall, etc. and get the benefit of not having to take any cap back (Ottawa is one of only a handful of teams for which this is the case, 10mil is a LOT of money) then Ottawa would definitely be in. But like, any of Tkachuk, Norris, Batherson, Stutzle, Chabot, Sanderson, JBD, Gustavsson, and Sogaard should not be involved from Ottawa’s perspective. It’s a lot of protections for a guy like Eichel I know, but decimating our long term depth via selling the farm to bank on one injured guy who has never sniffed the playoffs isn’t exactly how you build a team from the ground up.

1. Their owner.
2. Their division.
3. Their status in the league.

Because they're smartly staying away from him and the big price tag. And they're growing their team through the draft. At least I hope this is the case.
I'd only want to see them trade for a top RH dman like Jones. Or sign a shutdown guy like Larsson
