I think this is well thought out but I also think it’s a bit too early for Ottawa to go all in. Giroux wanted to come to Ottawa why ruin goodwill for future free agents? Thornton is the the real grandpa no way he can play 3rd line centre and that trade is a meme with all those 7ths haha. LAK are high on Durzi, so I don’t think they’d do that deal but the value of the return is pretty good. Ottawa’s not trading Zub. Why dump Brannstrom for a 4th? And STL is looking to compete not trade their stars for picks.

Because he is old and washed. Giroux is a proven loser from all those years in Philly.

How is he washed? He put up 22 points in 18 games with the panthers. He carried Philly on his back for 8 years. Just cause he is old does not make him bad, I mean look at Bergeron

I don't know I think he is going to fall off, Bergeron is a Generational Talent which is why he is still going. Giroux has the shooting ability of a stormtrooper and has no individual awards. Compare that to like 5 selkes and a cup, proven winner.

This team is worse. Why do u have a non proven goalie as your starter when he can't even play as he is stuck in russia. Why is Debrincat on the 3rd line? How does Deslauriers make the team better and why is he on the 3rd line? Why is Thornton even on the team? Why do you trade Zub but keep Zaitsev? Why would you trade Brannstrom for a 4th when he just played his best game today? Why would you choose to take on Josh Anderson's contract which is one of the worst contracts in the league?

IDK, he’s still developing. Liljegren only broke out last year and they’re from the same draft class. Dorian said last month “Erik is among our group of young players who we’re looking upon to take another step forward next season”. Plus Zaitsev has looked **** in the preseason so I don’t think Branstrom could be worse but idk.

I did not see the game where Brannstrom was apparently good. Fedotov has game breaking potential and they are a tandem. Debrincat is on the third line like Kessel in PIT. Deslauries is the Grit the Sens need to get back to the playoffs. Thornton is the veteran presence they need. Josh Anderson is a Leaf killer and play playoff style hockey.

Putting up a career high of 15 points on an overvalued contract for "grit" does not help them at all. Thornton could barely play anymore for the panthers. Putting Debrincat on the 3rd line hurts the team, especially when he is a top 2 player on the team, Kessel was not a top 2 player in PIT. Josh Anderson sucks and is on a terrible contract

Disagree. Debrincat and Kessel are both soft snipers.

Wow. This runs from giving Zub away for complete trash alllllllllll the way over to "holy crap, how does one even imagine the Blues would need to ADD a 2nd to that????". The level of WOOF is almost impressive.

Easy to see the trolling mode when Stutzle is on LW and that 3rd line is truly awful

Everyone is falling for this trolling ACGM

The Batherson, Zub and Blues trades are offensively bad.

I agree That the Blues should say no but :

- Hamonic is not a dump, he's an ok stop gap for this year. Sens are not looking to dump him at all.

- Forsberg has value, he was a top-12 goalie last year

- Mathieu Joseph certainly has value

But yeah this is ridiculous for the Blues, you don't trade key players for late firsts and support players. It's trolling for sure. This can't be made based on hockey knowledge lol
