<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Upper_Body_Injury</b></div><div>I don't mind both trades but would question on if the Sens would do that, I don't think they have the cap space to resign Dumba even if he was at 3-4mil AAV. I am also not convinced BG would trade Moose....maybe he would for Mitts and I know I have seen some other ACGM post as a one for one swap but who know if it would actually happen. I like the idea though.</div></div>

I feel like Thomson+4th for Dumba is a nice deal for Ottawa. There are questions on if Thomson will ever put it together. This is what Wheeler said about Thomson in his prospect pool rankings article about Ottawa:
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quote:</div>I’m not sure Thomson is ever going to figure it out and put the tools together, but it is easy to forget that this is only the second year of his ELC and he’s still got next season to try to finally work his way into the Sens’ top seven. He looked like he was beginning to put it all together in stretches in the AHL last season, but the consistency just hasn’t been there when he has been asked to play an elevated role at either level.

Thomson plays an aggressive style (on both sides of the puck, with and without it) that comes with some warts and his fair share of mistakes, but he’s a tough, shot-threat, what-you-see-is-what-you-get player who is capable of leading a rush (though his decision making within that can be suspect and he relies more on instinct than processing), has value physically, defends well man-to-man when his timing is on, wins battles along the wall (though his reads do occasionally burn him), plays hard at the front of the net, and has always been more well suited to the North American ice and style. His underlying NHL results are ugly and cast some doubts about whether he’ll become more than a call-up option, but he does have some real pro qualities.</div>

That reminds me of Dumba when he was first breaking into the league. Tons of offense with really questionable defense/decision making.

Zaitsev dump gives them cap space.
