Description
Obviously there's a significant chance Ottawa is on Linus' no trade list so this hypothetical is based on idea that they're not, or slim chance he's willing to waive.

I'm in favor of a Ullmark/ Lysell for Pinto/ Chychrun trade and feel this could be good for both teams- but I'm certainly presenting what I would want in best case scenario for the Bs in terms of the draft pick compensation.

As far as the Bs forward lines, I like the overall depth. For me, this particularly creates the center depth needed for the playoffs as opposed to this past season, but still think they're a top 6 wing short. Maybe you just can't have it all? Frederic and Heinen are interchangeable IMO, different skill sets but both can get hot and can compliment either 2nd or 3rd lines, and both can disappear for long stretches. Geekie could also push for second line minutes, and there's always a chance Brazeau could move up in the lineup. I also like the competition for 4th line minutes- and I'm not discounting Merkulov or Poitras sticking. Poitras is penciled in to a lot of Bs projections- I wonder if a year in the AHL, playing big minutes in all situations, could serve him better than bottom 6 minutes in the NHL.

That said, I love the overall composition of the D pairs. In this scenario, I think they have a very solid balance between offensive and defensive minded D, and think it's ideal to have Wotherspoon pushing for minutes as the 7th D. I do wonder if they might be lacking a big bodied/ bang in the corners/ battle at the net front, third pair option. Maybe something that can be addressed at the trade deadline.

Wouldn’t trade Pinto for both Ullmark and Lysell let alone adding Chych and a 1st.

No chance sens include Pinto. Only way I’d even consider moving him is if the G coming back is Swayman, which it won’t be so no Pinto. Chychrun and the 1st for Ullmark and 2025 3rd and deals done

I’m not as big on Pinto as Ottawa fans are. Nice player. I’d rather have the return for Ullmark and Lysell.

This trade seems utterly unrealistic. My guess is it would be the Boston first and a prospect like Jarventie.

I’d absolutely do that Chychrun and the Boston 1st for Ullmark and a 2025 3rd. I’d even upgrade the pick to the 2026 2nd.

Works for me haha Ottawa desperately needs an upgrade in net and if Ullmark is willing, he’d be the guy I’d go for!

Pinto is likely playing top line wit Tkachuk this year and is our best 200ft player

Again, I don’t believe he is worth discussing on this forum. I don’t believe any team is going to make an offer which would be sufficient for this board.
