That trade has too many big deals moving back and forth. The Karlsson trade will likely not have that much going on from an NHL player standpoint. Pageau and Anderson will probably not be involved in the deal with Karlsson, so remove Sekera and Lucic. With that being said, the Sens probably don't need RNH, and he has such good chemistry with McDavid I don't think he moves either. So you give up Adam Larsson instead of RNH. That helps because the Sens will need defense. Bouchard is a good add (except that he was just drafted, and they really like the kid).
The trade would probably start with Bouchard (or a similar high-level prospect), a roster player with term and money (Adam Larsson), a young NHL-ready player (Puljujarvi maybe), and picks.
Honestly, if you look at what the Avs got for Duchene, you could see a good starting point if the trade was just Erik Karlsson. But since they "need" to trade Bobby Ryan in the deal, it will be a little bit less of a return.
