I hope that attitude is not “I am going to overpay for old players.”

Why on Earth would Ottawa give up 34 OA and another 2nd for a bust?

Vancouver declines, Edler > Risto and Virtanen >>>> Thompson

Pilut is KHL bound, and Mittlestadt isn't better then any of the C prospects already pushing for NHL jobs in Ottawa. Sens could use those picks to add a more concretely impactful NHL roster piece.

That Nashville trade is bad for Buffalo. Sabres are not trading Reinhart

It's also bad for NSH

I wouldn't be so sure of that... You can pre-order the new Jerseys of Dahlin, Eichel, Oloffson, and Skinner, but not Sam. Not saying that means he's going to be traded, but if he was untouchable, his jersey would be preorderable.

I would look too much into the jersey preorder Jokiharju isn't on there either and I would consider him untouchable just like Sam. Also Reinhart is the only good RW on the team I also think that is a reason he would not be traded

I'm not saying he will be traded, just that it is possible. Also possible Jokiharju will be traded. If it helped me get a capable 2C, I would be willing to give up either one of those players.

VAN decline. Edler is not waiving for BUF and Virtanen is not going anywhere.
