As sick as it would be to see Formenton on McDavid's wing, sens aren't trading him.

I just think he’s gonna fall on the depth chart. I think you’re probably right but it doesn’t hurt to try 😁

I think he tops out as a Kapanen style winger, though I think he's faster than Kasperi Kapanen. I don't know whether he is a 2nd or 3rd liner long term, but either way he will be fantastic depth for Ottawa. He's going to be a murderer on the PK.

He won’t pass Abramov, Tkachuk, Duclair or Laf/Stutzle on the depth chart. And it would be a waste to play him on the 4th line or sit him in the press box. He’d luck out here in Edmonton with Benson taking a step back this year and put overall lack of winger depth especially with our prospects.

He's already a more impressive pro player than Abramov. Duclair has been solid for Ottawa, but there are issues with how sustainable his play was, and when his shooting regressed after the All Star break he really struggled to produce. He's going to sign a 1-2 year deal, and I don't think he ends up being a long term piece in Ottawa, especially if Ottawa lands Lafreniere. Formenton would be a better fit over Duclair on the 3rd line, as a two way PK player. Stutzle is a centre at the NHL level in my opinion.

I don’t think they play Stutzle at C. They will have Norris, Brown and Byfield. Either way Ottawa is in good shape in terms of forwards. I wouldn’t mind Abramov instead but I just prefer Formentons play style. I wouldn’t give a 1st for Abramov I would just have the prospects and Russell minus the picks on both sides.

There's nothing wrong with a centre group of Byfield-Stutle-Norris, even if that means Brown is moved to the Wing, or even traded.

I think there's a deal to be made around Abramov for Puljujarvi. Ottawa adds a 3rd or something like that, but I don't think any other team offers up a prospect as good as Abramov

I like the Carolina trade, I don't think Bokk is the right piece if you want him AND a 2nd, maybe someone like Foegele and a lower pick instead? Overall though, I love the idea of trading Brind'amour to play with Brind'amour. Out of curiosity, what would you say Skylar's ceiling is?

I don’t think they would want Foegele for JP I think they would want a similar player in return. But the picks don’t really matter they can be added or swapped you know but rumour is Holland wanted a 1st and Andersson from the Rangers for JP. I think Bokk is a better prospect so I made it a 2nd and added Skylar. As for his ceiling it’s probably a 3C upside but he’s probably more likely a 4C. We have good depth at C in Edmonton so it makes him expendable.

I wouldn’t say off limits but maybe if the picks were changed to a 3rd and 4th it would be more enticing to Ottawa. Again 5 picks in the first 2 rounds (4 in the first 40 picks if SJS still can’t compete). Gives Ottawa a pretty deadly future.

It’s a 2021 1st tho and Formenton was almost a PPG in his first AHL season

benning term should be at least one year shorter but it's a small little thing
I don't see carolina doing that trade as maybe they will do a bokk for poolparty straight up.
One good thing about the draft for the oilers is that one of Ottawa young prospects is going to be avalible to them whether it be formenton, norris, abramov or even batherson though that seems unlikely

he didn't have a good year in college but he still won rookie of the year in his division so he the best projection I can give for him is a 4c

Yep but Ottawa’s forward depth is insane. He definitely has potential to be a 60+ point winger but he might not get the opportunity to break into Ottawa’s top 6. He’s gonna compete against Tkachuk and either Laf or Stutzle and I don’t see him beating either of them on the left. This is my thoughts on Ottawa’s top 6 in the future

Tkachuk-Norris-Batherson
Stutzle/Laf-Brown-Raymond

I would draft Raymond over Byfield. I know some people would call me stupid for it but just from my perspective looking at their prospects they could use a legit scorer on the right. I guess from an Ottawa point of view it depends how you see Logan brown being a part of their future but I think he’s a solid 2C. I’m a bit biased on the deal since I am an Oilers fan but I don’t think I’m being too biased and just trying to fleece Ottawa.

I’m not against a 1 for 1. I’m just going based on rumours that Holland wanted a 1st included in the Andersson deal from the Rangers. I think Bokk has more value than Andersson so I made it a 2nd and added Skylar but I don’t really put too much thought into the picks especially for future seasons. They can always be adjusted or whatever.

I love Raymond a lot but I’d take him at 4. No way I’d take him higher

So let’s say Ottawa had picks 1 or 2 and 4. At one they obviously take Laf but if they had the 2nd pick would you take Stutzle or Byfield? I’d take Stutzle

Laf > Byfield > Stutzle > Raymond imo

Formenton's 20-year-old AHL season isn't far off Benson's. Not saying that they are equivalent prospects, but is he really worth a 1st+?

Byfield and its not close. Stutzle is a winger imo and Byfield is starting to get underrated. Hes going to be a walking 70-80pts a season player.

I would love to see benson in a top 6 role. But I don’t think he’s quite ready yet. He had a great year last year but he kind of took a step back this year. He needs to work on his skating. Formenton is a better all around player and is probably more ready for the NHL. I think another year in the AHL would be good for benson. Play him with McLeod and Lavoie. Let them kill it there build confidence and chemistry.

Formenton is a great skater, but has limited offensive upside. I think he'll end up in a 3rd line role in the NHL. I don't see his value as a 1st round pick. He couldn't even break p/gp in the OHL post-draft... his Oilers equivalent is probably Ryan McLeod except McLeod is a center.
