Team: 2024-25 Ottawa Senators

Initial Creation Date: Jan. 25, 2024

Published: Jan. 25, 2024

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Didn't trade away Forsberg because, let's be real, no one wants him. Keep him and hope for a stronger start to 2024-25, then flip him as soon as someone loses their starter and needs a vet backup or something.

Assuming we can get DeMelo, we also spring for Jarnkrok from TML. Assuming TML is after cap space to get some big fish in Free Agency (2C like Duchene and move Tavares to wing?). If WPG resigns DeMelo, then we aim for Pesce instead and do not do the Jarnkrok trade, unless we can get out of Forsberg first. Offer Pesce a $6x4 or something, put Joseph as 3RW, Jarventie as 3LW.

Kept all 3 LD since their values fluctuate wildly depending on which fan base you talk to, so I'd rather keep that as a position of strength for the year. Forsberg and Hamonic expire at the end of the year and that money goes towards Chychrun and Greig. Or if we're out of it come TDL, then Chychrun 50% retained can get us quite the haul.
