  1. Forsberg, Anton
Additional Details:
Send him anywhere. Some will take a chance on him based on his previous success. The fact he has only 1 year left on a very affordable contract? Someone will take him so long as Ottawa doesn't ask for anything too valuable to come back the other way.

OTT
  1. Marner, Mitchell
  2. McCabe, Jake
  3. Robertson, Nicholas [RFA Rights]
Additional Details:
Robertson gets a fresh start and is a throw in to Ottawa for taking on $7.2M in cap space. Also provided Marner accepts, which he might, being just down the road from home.
TOR
  1. Chychrun, Jakob
  2. Hamonic, Travis
Additional Details:
Hamonic will likely accept because the alternative is likely being bought out.
7.
OTT
  1. Whitecloud, Zach
Additional Details:
Ottawa adds a Stanley Cup champ, who has proven he can play and win with Chabot. They played together at the WHC 2 seasons ago winning the gold medal and were an absolute dominant force. Staios said he wants character guys with winning pedigree. Whitecloud fits the bill.
VGK
  1. Bernard-Docker, Jacob
  2. 2025 2nd round pick (OTT)
Additional Details:
Ottawa sends a former 1st round pick, plus a 2nd rounder. Vegas needs cheap players (JBD), & draft picks. They get both for a guy that will be easily replaced as they signed Hanifin, and have Korczak in the pipeline, along with JBD who also plays the RD side.

I was going to say hell no to Forsberg, but your D is horrible and no goalie is having success so maybe a change would be good for him. Blackwood had a nice season here after those bad NJD seasons

Korpisalo/Sogaard

OTT: Marner (10x8) & Robertson
TOR: Chychrun & BOS 1st OR OTT 2nd

that’s what the deal would be, that’s fair, TOR definitely isn’t looking to move McCabe if they’re tryna compete still

I also don’t think Norris will be out all year, I’d use him in a trade as a piece to get Ullmark or Saros, Korpisalo goes to another team, you need to add obviously, I also wonder how Korpisalo would do with this new D core

Bruh, we claimed Lassi once already and we IMMEDIATELY threw him back onto waivers after a preseason game. Why would we pay for him?

Like seriously, go check the highlights of that game, bro was straight up CLUELESS on defense.

Probably the worst draft bust for the Sens in franchise history.

I figured Kelly because Isles are unlikely to re-sign Clutterbuck, and Kelly is a winger. I moved Kastelic for Jankowski from Nashville, because he is a similar style center, but better on the PK. So the tradeoff is Kastelic's toughness for Jankowski's PK ability.

I hear ya, his game improved in the AHL. He's still a legit puck-moving defenseman, but agree totally he has work to be done on the defensive side of the puck. Was more a project for Anaheim for a 6th round pick. But I can see your point but he wouldn't be a bad gamble for a 6th round pick.... I mean if I said a 2nd rounder or something? Okay call me nuts I will own that, but I figured a 6th rounder for a team that showed interest in him before. I didn't however, watch the preseason game you were talking about lol

I honestly think you guys should throw him on RW next season and see what happens, as I don't think he'll ever be a NHL quality RHD.

Only reason we claimed him was to let Jamie Drysdale hear the branch creak over his contract extension.

I’d take that Marner deal all day long.

I do think Norris will be out all season. This is his 3rd surgery in 4 years!!! I think he takes the whole year to properly rehab and build the strength. If that shoulder goes on him again? His career is done 100%. People need to get away from a Marner trade being relatively fair. The tradegrounds are not on a level playing field for the deal to be fair. Why do people think like this? GM 's are ruthless.... In any deal for Marner? It starts with say Ottawa in this case.....with their boot on Toronto's throat.

1) If Toronto is dealing with Ottawa....or any particular team? It's because they are one of maybe two teams the Leafs are allowed to deal with.
2) Marner has a full NMC so there is no going somewhere else if they don't like Ottawa's offer.
3) Yes Chychrun had a down year and everyone knows Ottawa is going to move him....But Ottawa isn't dealing with a NMC. Think Ottawa fans.... Do you think Staios found a 3rd and 4th rounder fair for Tank?
4) Marner is not a playoff player, with 7 post seasons of average production at best. $11M for a player that helps you get to the playoffs? Teams will say we can find cheaper.
5) Marner in the 2nd half was seperated from Matthews.... He didn't fare to well. Every other GM knows their team doesn't have a guy wgo scored 69 goals. $12M is a steep ask for a player that might not be able to produce 90 points without such a scorer on his line.

Lastly.....Sens fans??? FAIR???? Imagine the Erik Karklsson trade? How good does that deal look if SJ didn;t **** the bed in 2020? Norris would've been the only decent piece left. Does anyone in their right minds think Marner today is as valuable as Karlsson was when we moved him to SJ? Not a chance... a RHD with 2 Norris Trophies to his name? So think how does Marner with a full NMC get more than what Ottawa got for Karlsson? Leverage is key and Toronto has absolutely none.
