I guess it’s not a terrible deal if you think highly of Brink, but I don’t really. And the Sens don’t need Laughton at all, and probably don’t have room for Brink, who wouldn’t make the team and would only maybe be our 2nd best forward prospect (after Greig), although I’m not sure I even like him more than Jarventie or Sokolov. Also 8 of our top 9 spots are occupied by young players already. Even if you’re assuming Del Zotto has negative value, the Sens don’t need to move him because he can just be buried for low cost and we’re not in cap trouble. I think they’d rather just keep the pick and use it on something else, like dumping Zaitsev or Murray, or trading for a RD.
