That trade is intriguing. I don't know a ton about Benoit, but I would think that the Sens can find an LD easily enough if needed via free agency and to trade for someone to stick in 3rd LD I would rather keep Branstrom. Would be more likely to make the move if it was a RD.
I like the draft pick and I think that is right around where they are going to end up in the draft in the 7-10 area.
I wouldn't sign Ritchie, let guys like kelly or Ostuphuk in the lineup instead.
