Man I do not know what to do with this Sens team. I've heard many times that they need to move a core player but, for one reason or another, it seems like almost everyone on this team is hard to trade. For me, Batherson is a really talented winger having a nice season with a contract that makes him more valuble than his play alone. He's not a guy I assosciate as being an essential piece of this team and therefore the best guy to move. I also can't see Ottawa simply taking back futures in any core piece trade (We all know what Friedge said about 'True Pros'). Seattle is a great fit here with strong depth but a need for good, young, offensive talent. In return, Ottawa gets three good pieces in a 2nd, a young and signed right-shot defenseman, and a middle-six centre. Many will say Wennberg is not a need, but I think Ottawa simply needs bodies and I think he could help acclimate Pinto as he returns, while also moving to a shut down role. I figure Ottawa could get him to waive his NTC. Brannstrom finally feels on the way out, and getting a pick and player is a decent enough haul from the Wild who really just need a shot at some upside. Carolina was a team interested in Tarasenko this offseason and he would come now as a cheap rental with upside. Kubalik could honestly go anywhere there is no space for him in Ottawa. With these moves Ottawa would open up heaps of flexibility for next season cap-wise and get more prospects into their system, making for an overall better future. Now go tell me why I'm wrong
