Morrow might be available, but it’s unlikely. FUS and Nadeau are off limits. Besides, Brady isn’t Matthew, so he isn’t getting that package. Necas, 1st, and 2nd, maybe.

As for Pesce, it sounds like he has no interest in playing for a Canadian team.

I think the Canes would actually consider FUS higher on their prospect board than Nadeau at the moment. I would do Necas, Nadeau, 1st and 2nd for Tkachuk. However, I think they’d want that done now, not in the offseason.

I feel like you could get Frost for a 2nd, don’t have to spend a 1st

Maybe have to add a prospect but still

OTT won't trade Captain to the East

And neither to St. Louis

Brady would absolutely pop off playing on a defensive team next to Aho

If he can play in a system at all...

The problem is that we have too many defensive deficient forwards. Cant play 2 of them together

I'm still on the patience train. Give JM and Alfie some time on these guys. Bath is popping off. The last stink from the Melnyk era is washing off. I know 6 years is a long time to wait. But the pieces are there... get a new GM, trim the fat, get a stable coach, get Alfie to player development and JM back in the advisory role... I'm hopeful. But I understand the issue with waiting again.

Would Ottawa be better suited to take more nhl players than futures based on their current roster?

Both. Under 25 talent of all kind including futures

I'd disagree... Nadeau fills a need on the roster as an elite goal scorer and FUS is just not that
