Barzal and PLD are very different styles of player, but either would make a good 1C in Ottawa.
Logan Brown
Erik Brannstrom (can play LD or RD)
Vitaly Abramov
2021 2nd round pick (SJS)
For one of Barzal or Pierre-Luc Dubois
Which one would you prefer to have? Is this enough for either of them?
I'd offer Norris but he's Brady Tkachuk's best friend, and although Brown is in the same clique, he isn't Brady's best friend.
I'd offer Thomson over Brannstrom but he only plays the right side.
Abramov could be switched with Balcers or Formenton, as they are all projected to be 2nd line wingers, with Balcers the best defensively, Formenton the fastest and dangerous on the PK, and Abramov the most skilled with the stick.
The 2nd round pick, it can be assumed the SJS pick could be better than the OTT pick because Ottawa should be better after the trade.
