If Eugene Melnyk immediately accepted swapping Cody Ceci for Taylor Hall

Created by: sensonfire
Team: 2023-24 Ottawa Senators
Initial Creation Date: Aug. 18, 2023
Published: Aug. 18, 2023
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
What would happen instead ?

This is what I think:




1. Late June 2016 ---- Ottawa Senators trade Cody Ceci to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for Taylor Hall

Adam Larsson remains with the New Jersey Devils.

Oilers GM and Ottawa native Peter Chiarelli is viciously crucified by the Oilers fanbase and on social media for making the trade.





2. Canada Day 2019 ----- The trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs involving Cody Ceci, Nikita Zaitsev and Connor Brown never takes place.



3. December 2019 ---- With Ottawa Senators in desperate need of a rebuild and with their star forward refusing to stay long-term, Taylor Hall is traded to the Arizona Coyotes by the Ottawa Senators instead of the New Jersey Devils.



4. July 2022 ---- The Connor Brown trade with the Washington Capitals never takes place



5. February 22nd, 2023 ---- The Nikita Zaitsev trade with the Chicago Blackhawks never takes place



6. March 1st, 2023 ----- In the Jakob Chychrun trade, Arizona receives Ottawa's 2024 2nd instead of Washington's.

Are they in a position to draft Brady, or Sanderson? Does Karlsson accept the 10.5x8 deal, thus negating our ability to get Stü and Norris?

These thought experiments are fun, but you need to consider the impact on the standings and draft positions.

Hypotheticals are fun, but if you really want to get deep you would have to adjust draft positions based on all the retracted trades.

Not easy to do, but potentially OTT doesn't finish with the same draft picks that got them Stutzle, Tkachuk Norris and Co.

Greig is waivers exempt while Sokolov is not.

I had Greig in the minors to protect Sokolov from being claimed off waivers.
