I will say this ala Maxwell Smart

I see your going with the old 21 man roster and rookie on the 1st pairing lineup eh?!

Good luck with that.

Bouchard is not a rookie and he has been better than duncan keith and tyson barrie defensively most of the year, Moving him up in the line-up after being our highest scoring d-man with minimal PP time and giving him the experience of a playoff run should be a no brainer, And now he won't have a slow, suicide passing partner, He'll have a big, fast skating, low iq, puck dumping pylon instead which should help him

Kessel AND Draisaitl on the same line? They're going to be caved in their own zone the entire season lol. 6.4 Million seems low for Debrincat. He's going to want 7.5-9 AAV. That trade value is also... well, if I'm Chicago I make that deal all day.

Ottawa declines

No more spots available for basically anybody unless :

- Veteran Top-6 Winger
- Veteran Top-4 RHD (preferably to play with Chabot)

* Veteran doesn't mean "old", just still good with experience


Summary :

- No need/spot for Ryan

- Ottawa would much rather have Watson than Kassian (and keep their 5th)

- not a fan of Lavoie, I have seen him as a bust for while. Not sure Dorion/etc already know but probably as amateur scouting is the only thing they do well.
