Formenton doesn’t have a contract and seems to be « canceled » so you don’t need to trade him at all
Boucher is not a really good prospect, he didn’t even make our top in the pool polls. He has 3rd round pick value I’d say, same for Sokolov.
Brannstrom, 1st and 2nd is very valuable though
Quoting: RipNasty
Explain why a win now team ahead of the Sens in the same division would trade an elite offensive player who is in the middle of his prime, for a bubble defenceman, and two prospects that never will be as good as Nylander? Then you can understand why TO passes.
Brannstrom isn’t a bubble D-man at all but agreed that Toronto shouldn’t make that trade, not only it’s a divisional rival but they need to target quality instead of quality considering they’re not rebuilding
Sens shouldn’t go after Nylander anyway. Just sign the best UFA forward you can next offseason (a bit like they did with Tarasenko but younger/better), don’t spend assets on this
