Like the Joshua and Hakanppa signings. Don't like the 1st trade, doubt the 2nd one would happen and love Crouse but probably takes more

I don't see Skinner waiving his NMC for Ottawa

Take Skinner out

It's not bad return at all, and Skinner at 6.0 AAV for 3 years is good, no problem

It's more that it would be a very bold move. Ottawa just moved on from a toxic era with an awful owner and an incompetent GM who hired an incompetent coach. This off-season is when new ownership and management will start making their impact. It would be surprising if Tkachuk is identified as a guy they should move.

I think Stutzle, Tkachuk, Pinto, Greig, Sanderson, Kleven are seen as untouchables right now

Batherson due to his contract would be surprising, same for Joseph. And for Zub, a good RHD defensively is the type you just don't move. They would actually need to clone him.

I think everyone else is a possibility
