I don't think it's good for Ottawa. Sens can easily get a Coleman type return for Connor Brown, especially at 50% retained, and I think they can get a 2nd for Paul.
Lundqvist is a very good prospect, but Ottawa has a solid defensive pipeline with Thomson and Bernard-Docker both on the cusp of NHL readiness, and they're shipping out one of two impactful NHL RWs they have to make it happen. Kravtsov I don't value very highly to be honest.
For the record I think they keep Paul, and as far as trading Downtown, there's an argument for it, but not unless you're trying to bring in a much better RW.
