Playoff year 2024-2025

That package isn't enough to get Trevor Zegras and I strongly doubt that any Canadian team is on Cam Fowler's four-team list.

A second, even a future second, seems a little optimistic for Erik Brannstrom.

You gotta do even just a smidge of research on the other team. ANA’s deepest position is either LD or goalie. The only piece in a position of interest is Joseph, and yuck. You’d need to conpleyely wipe this and try again. The piece we’d want is Tkachuk (we’d have to add of course)

If playoffs are the goal then maybe something around the ‘24 OTT 1st if Lev or Lindstrom are available, but Verbeek also said he wants to see ANA pushing for playoffs next year. And frankly I assume OTT just prefers to make the draft pick

Fowler says no & Verbeek says no

No need for LHD, like at all

Not a smart trade for Ottawa and doesn't seem to fit both team needs.

Fowler is 5 years older than Chabot, good D-man but also a left D-man and only makes 1.5 AAV less. Chabot is elite at play driving and transition in all zones. Not a good move for Ottawa. They would need to add a Fowler type on the right side though (but younger)

The last thing Ottawa needs is a player with fancy skill. They need more Mathieu Joseph types and you're trading him away here.

Also big no to a Perron signing
