Thinking pretty stupid.

He should stop thinking lol

The penguins can't afford 8 million on Chabot regardless of the rest of the trade.
So that's a non starter.

The Avs need a 2C and a goalie so of course the make that trade

OTT declines both

Replace Chabot with Batherson and replace Joseph with Brannstrom.

1- Not great for Colorado. Norris would need a bit of retention, then remove Kovalenko and the first round picks

2- AWFUL for Ottawa, like incredibly awful. One of the worst trades for Ottawa I have seen on this webiste and God knows how many I have seen

Guentzel is UFA, will turn 30 y/o in October and will need a massive contract. Sure his stats are sexy but he plays with a Top-10 player of all time who has a very long historic of making players around better, much better

Joseph is not for trade, he's a bargain at 2.95 AAV
Kleven is the Sens best prospect (since Greig is graduating) and is a beast in the making
Chabot is 17th in PPG among D-men since 2018-19 and is elite in transition, can log plenty of ice-time effortlessly
Plus a 1st and a 2nd, which is something Ottawa needs

Ottawa need abrasive forwards, not more talented wingers


No either way, this would still be horrible for Ottawa
