Even if it was tempting (and it's not), Sens can't add 5 M$ on the cap just like that
Quoting: TMLBRIAN
Ottawa would want picks and not a pending UFA, if they sell at the deadline.
Sens are very unlikely to sell this season.
If the Sens win their next game, they're back to .500. The team that holds the 2nd wild card spot right now has a 0519 P%.
Sens are likely to stay in the mix, particularly if something happens regarding the coaching staff.
So assuming they don't sell, this proposal could make sense IF it was Tarasenko for Brodie and Järnkrok
No idea how to make it work cap wise for both teams though. I guess with no retention and Ottawa trades Kubalik for a pick separately
That would also mean that we could trade Brannstrom for a young forward (I'd target a guy like Tolvanen before Seattle)
