if the sens cough up 4th ov to col (because of the hughs factor in 2019) will there be a wahlstrom/tkachuk/bouchard kinda talented guy for them to draft in 2019 if their pick is in the 5-12 ov range next year ?
It's an interesting idea. They have Barrie already on the roster and Makar coming up in a couple of years but if they want to make a win now move, adding Karlsson would obviously do the trick and then they could trade either Barrie or Makar (or maybe even both) to improve other weaknesses in their roster. Or obviously Makar could be included in the trade for Karlsson.
(I didn't mention Timmins because he's a different type of defenseman and therefore not really affected similarly as Barrie and Makar would be.)

Give Colorado 4 and see how bad you can rip chiralli off. Klefbom, Yamamoto and #10 for Karlsson?

RNH played wing, wasn't a #3C.
It's just tough to add a $12M player when you already have one guy making $12.5M, one guy making $8.5M and Lucic making $6M. You're left with no money for depth if you add another $12M player to that. Lucic is the big problem and so is overpaying for Draisaitl but that being said, you just can't have two $12M guys on one team, it just doesn't work.
I want to link this article from The Athletic for one reason only: my tweet is in there! Underrated centres the Canucks could target after the first round of the 2018 draft
There's a link to my tweet in the 3rd paragraph on the David Gustafsson section for those of you with access to The Athletic. Here's the link to my tweet for those who don't have access: https://twitter.com/JokkeNevalainen/...52989448294405
For those that think Ottawa will trade their 4th overall, I just don't buy what you are selling.
For me, it all comes down to the owner. And what he cares about is trying to get more bums in seats. Trading the 4th overall is admitting that you are throwing this year away, and that is not the signal he wants to send. He wants to compete right away, so stop losing money. He's not thinking about a rebuild. He's thinking about dollars and cents.
It makes no sens for Ottawa to give up their pick this year . They won?t finish this low again, and you can?t jut keep next years in the hope that you somehow win jack Hughes even though the odds will be extremely low. Ottawa?s core pieces are not young, they are built to compete now but had off year. Even if they miss the playoffs, it won?t be a great pick
Everyone knows Anderson has one bad year, then a good one. This one was a bad one so next year should be a good one for him. Maybe they are doing the right thing. They better hope Anderson bounces back next year or they will be in the same place next year only without a high pick.
