Dzingel is a good forward to help out the Sens. If Dzingel can rebound with Ottawa, I think they win this trade.

I love this. I'm really excited to have Ryan Dzingel back. Was always a personal favorite of mine.

This could be a bad trade for Carolina if Dzingel can rebound. Ottawa gets a trade deadline player, too.

Another day another team for Galchenyuk. He’s not a good fit. Sens win the trade imo.

Carolina could have done a much better job with their return though. Dzingel should do a little better when he isnt shadowed by the likes of Aho and Teravainen

I think the reason dzingel wasnt good in carolina is because he was shadowed by aho and teravainen. I think he will rebound in ottawa

Imo it's a good trade.

Dzingel didn't really contribute much in Canes. Now they get a depth center who brings them cup experience, as well as a winger who could flourish in a talented system like the Canes.

Dzingel's comeback to OTT is also interesting. He was at his best back there.

Eh.
Change of scenery trade. I think I like the possible upside for OTT far more than Carolina.

Paquette is an effective player on good teams and was probably shaken from moving from the best club in hockey to the worst. He certainly could heavily bounce back in Carolina and give them a nice edge at 4C.

This is a "I'll trade my bad players for good players" trade. NHL21 wouldn't allow this trade to go through.

Win-Win

Ottawa gets rid of a body, which they needed, and get a player who had some success there. On the other hand, Carolina gets a gritty bottom six player for their playoffs run and a body on the ice named Galchenyuk.

This deal is mainly for Paquette on Carolina's end. It's kind of nice that Carolina could get a guy like him for no draft picks.

Less than 9 years after being drafted, Galchenyuk is on his 6th NHL team.

It’s ok for the Canes, but Ottawa wins this. The Sens move 2 4th liners for a struggling player that played well for them before, and the Canes get a 4C and some cap space to add someone at the deadline while trading away a player that didn’t fit in the organization.

That is why I qualified Galchenyuk simply as a body on the ice :').

Carolina wins imo. Dzingel isn’t doing too well and I like Galchenyuk and Paquette as adds for Carolina, plus they get slightly more cap space

dzingels only good in ottawa so this means hell probably light it up lol

Ottawa wins but this still makes Carolina a better lineup.

so Melnyks got a new plan. Get everyone back from that 2017 playoff run

1 down
7 to go

Galchenyuk should actually fit well in carolina as his playstyle is perfect in there system

reuniting formal player for Journeymen and cup winning 4th liner

Liked his game in Ottawa. But wow, trade dzingel to cbj for 2 2nds and duclair. Get him back for galchenyuk and Paquette. Not bad at all

Ottawa wins. Dzingel wasn't having the best time in Carolina but he's currently got double the points as those two.

The good thing for Carolina is that they can dump them on the taxi squad with minimal punishment. Galchenyuk can just straight there and Paquette's buried hit isn't outrageous.

This is what you might call a lose-lose trade. I think OTT wins b/c Dzingel is gonna have an opportunity to move way up in the lineup for the Sens. He could get back to a 20-goal pace, whereas Galchenyuk is pretty much useless.

Galchenyuk has been trending in the wrong direction for years and you gotta think this is his last shot to stay in the NHL.
