OTT needs a legit 1C of the future have to think they decline, although its good value

Fair enough. Isn’t Stutzle a LW? Unless you see Byfield taken by Ottawa

I do see Stutzle going 2 but I think he can play LW and C

Ottawa's got to keep that pick and pray that LA takes Stutzle

I can see this and Ottawa flipping rakel for another first and a prospect. Maybe on draft day they'd do it but if byfield is there at 3 they probably pass

This is one of those trades the Sens make when the Kings announce Byfield's name at the draft. Decent value, but if Byfield is there at 3, they're taking him.

I can’t see this type of trade without a guy like Comtois or Steel in the deal but I think LA takes Stutzle and then no way I’d trade Byfield

I don't see this for Ottawa. Getting one of Byfield or Stutzle is a franchise altering acquisition. The need for a franchise center is too big to pass up. I like Rackell, but he's a 2nd liner, and he's not changing the fate of this team. Even if they flip him, I think I'd rather just have Stutzle.

I have no interest in trading up for Stutzle, especially when there's a high chance at least one of Rossi/Raymond will be available and they're just as good, if not better prospects than Stutzle
