Boston pass.
Boston doesn't want Sam Gagner.

Seeler is likely getting a new deal with Philly, but if they were to move him it would need to be for a more than that offer.

Sens decline. They won’t trade Joseph, he’s played great and is well worth his 2.95m cap hit. Also Broberg doesn’t make sense for us, he’s basically Branny 2.0, no need for it. And keep Ceci far away lol been there done that. I would do Tarasenko for the 1st though or a 2nd and a roster player ( Foegele?) for cap if needed

pure value is probably close enough to being fine, give or take a little bit of dickering. but I just don’t think the Sens have the reason or desire to do it. they’re best off just doing Vladdy for a 1st and leaving the rest

Drop everything but Tarasenko and the 1st and Ottawa accepts

It costs a 1st to dump Ceci on Ottawa.

So the trade is basically Tarasenko with 50% retention + Joseph for Broberg + a 2nd.

Ottawa declines.
