1/5 star trade for reasons:
- Justin Schultz is a 2nd/3rd d-man, even though he had good point totals last year he is on pace for maybe 35-36 points. Ottawa needs a d-man who can consistently put up 50+ points a year.
- Let's face it, Guentzel on any other team besides Toronto, Tampa or Pittsburgh is a low tier top 6 player, maybe adds some value, but definitely not enough.
-A first round pick isn't going to cut it, maybe Schultz, Guentzel, two firsts and an A level prospect would at least have Dorion picking up the phone. Karlsson is the best d-man in the league and arguably a top 3 player, he isn't going to be traded for a top 4 dman, top 6 player and a 1st round pick which will be very late if not bottom 4.
