Quoting: sensonfire
Ottawa declines.
A return for brady should be more about quality than about quantity.
Byron has negative value and Poehling is not a prospect that would command serious value.
Also, the 2024 1st is three years away from being useful.
1st round picks are always interesting but none of the other pieces are needed or interesting for Ottawa. None of these players would make the Sens u-25 top-20
Byron is too expensive for a stop gap and what he could bring. Ottawa didn't pick him up on waivers for a reason
Poehling doesn't crack the Sens roster, they basically already have a successful version of him (Colin White)
Sens just have too many quality forward prospects/young players, Mysak would just get lost in a number's game
Lehkonen is more interesting, I would take him in a heartbeat if we could get rid of Sanford but he doesn't hold much value in a trade for Tkachuk
IF IT COMES TO THAT, Tkachuk is not going to be traded for a quantity package. The Sens would rather find a 1 for 1 deal, even if 1 or 2 smaller pieces are included.
Suzuki is obviously the player the Sens would like the most. The thought of having 3 similar impact centers in Suzuki/Norris/Pinto would be orgasmic to say the least. Although they might already have that 3rd dragon head in Ridly Greig. But moot point as the Habs need him even more.
Caufield would be interesting for anybody. Despite being small he will score goals and is a RW, position where the Sens are not ultra strong yet. I don't know if there would be a deal to be made here. I don,t know if the Sens would do that though as they have a major "size bias". And dealing Tkachuk in the East, in the same division, doubt they'd want to do that as well anyway
Unfortunately, Norlinder and Ghule are LD but the Sens need RD, which leaves Romanov. The question would then be : would the Sens have a high level of faith in Romanov to be a 1st pairing RD? Would they be fine with him as the centerpiece for Tkachuk?
