Sens have no business touching the Kampf deal. He's a one dimensional defensive forward, and he hasn't been good defensively this year. Timmins is a RHD with a pulse, so he's probably better than Hamonic, but I don't think he has much value as an asset.
The core of the deal, Minten and a 1st, isn't a terrible starting point for negotiations on paper, but it really doesn't make sense for what Ottawa needs. Ottawa is set down the middle long term, Minten just isn't a needle mover for them imo.
For me, Chychrun should be a total nonstarter, but if Ottawa did move him, it's to address the NHL roster's lack of RHD depth beyond Zub.
