FLA passes we have a couple wingers in the (Hunt/Greco) "A" that would fit into our line up.

I didn't realize Karlsson was worth so little......

Yeah that's fair enough, FLA does have wingers that could do what Smith does for cheaper. The trade doesn't necessarily have to be with Florida, but I think ultimately Smith still holds that kind of value for some teams

Although Karlsson is elite and one of the best defensemen in the NHL today, I cant see any team selling the farm for a single player. This is not including the fact that he's in for a significant raise that is likely in the 10-12 million dollar range, has a history of serious injuries and just had one of his worst seasons in recent memory, plus he isn't getting any younger either. As much as I love the way Karlsson plays the Sens should consider trading him, and people should realize he doesn't have this kings ransom value either.

The trade gives the Senators a first round pick in 2020, plus a couple of later picks in 2018 and 2019. The picks should help the Sens continue to stock up the draft cupboards with young affordable talent. Speaking of young affordable talent they get two significant pieces. I don't know about you but seeing as one of the Sens biggest deficiencies right now is at centre, they should be all over trying to add one that has top six potential in spades. Glass adds to a forward group that has Brown, White, Batherson, and Formenton. The other big piece is Brannstrom. Having watched this kid play I feel strongly that he might be a steal from last years draft. He's a smooth skater with excellent vision and breakout ability, could be Karlsson lite in a few years. The sens also get a stop gap option in Oscar Lindberg, who they can also elect to trade for picks down the road. They also get a 19 year old goalie prospect to boot. Sens also loose Gaboriks contract, along with two other players who don't have a future with the team.

I don't know about you but that seems like a reasonable haul for essentially one player
