Ottawa definitely passes. Vancouver accepts I think, but not having a pick until round 5 isnt something I would be a fan of..

Colin White has actually been better than 75%+ of his team. He's putting up solid possession numbers, which is impressive given that his team is horrible.

If I'm Ottawa, I'm banking more on White's ability to improve, than I am on Matheson's ability to ever go back to anything more than a guy who might be an OK PP2 guy (Based on a super small sample size), who should play extremely sheltered minutes. He's Zaitsev 2.0 (Even though Zaitsev has been surprisingly alright this year!)

Im not sure on White but sounds like a sensible trade, I have the same one but in a 3way. I have been working on 1 for the last 5 days, lol. I keep changing it everyday tho

TBH I’m higher on rodrigues than most. Think if he can get back to his pre 2019/20 form he’ll be a solid 3RW. But Burke prefers big tough physical players that’s why I went with Virtanen.

I didn’t know White was playing well. If that’s the case then Ottawa definitely wouldn’t swap him for Matheson. What a joke by Rutherford to bring him in in the first place.

Virtanen has not been a physical player since his rookie season.

yeah, I mean, it’s not like he’s the GOAT or anything, but he’s playing reasonably well, and seems like he’ll probably end up as a decent 2C. Hard to judge anyone on the Sens right now, TBH.
