Cup Contender

I like the Montour move he could be a good pairing with Sanderson, although I hope eventually this year we get to see a Sanderson - Brannstrom pairing because I think they would play off each other great.

I am not a huge fan of moving for Fiala, especially with the 7th this year, when there will be a great winger available at that spot. I just don't think even at 6 years the contract is going to age well and will cause issues when you also need the cap space to sign Stuzle and Sanderson long term, with the Norris contract.

Puljujärvi I would take a gamble on that he could work out as a good top 6 winger to play with Stuzle long term, I don't know if I would go 4 years, however, that would be a very tradable contract if needed.

Feels like this is a deal MN would do.

Is there a reason Ottawa fans aren’t considering reuniting Sanderson and Bernard-Docker at the NHL level? I liked JBD’s game in college.

Ottawa should stockpile assets for a Mathew Thachuck trade. I think dealing for Fiala could be a viable plan b, but I question moving #7 overall for him even if it is fair value.

Because they are both very young players and JDB isn't fully NHL ready. Also, I think with the style of the game both of them play long term they are better off on different pairings. UND did it cause they were their best players.
