Or the concussion spotters, a player clutching his head or face after a hit is one of the signs they look for

I think Ottawa actually saved a decent bit of money on the deal in the short term.

#Sens will try to make a move before holiday freeze. Lots of calls, lots of interest in the likes of Hoffman, Pageau, Brassard and Ceci. Read below: https://twitter.com/ottawasuncom/status/940205847115976704 …

Good thing they traded their 1st round pick. Another reason why I always cringe when it's suggested and why I would almost never trade a 1st round pick away.
I don't know that they know what they are doing in Ottawa. So many weird moves that really don't follow a uniform thought process.

I don't know. I think their thought process up to this point was pretty clear and coherent. Sell futures to bring in veterans that can help now (Phaneuf, Condon, Stalberg, Burrows), pay up to upgrade roster players (Zibanejad+ for Brassard, Turris++ for Duchene), win the cup now. The thought process was coherent, but their evaluation of both where the team was at and the quality of the players they brought in was way off. They probably thought they had a 100+ point roster right now.

It's top 10 protected this year. If it slides to next year because of the top 10 pick, it becomes unprotected.
Though I think they can choose to give it up if it's a 9th or 10 overall this year if they want. Only reason they may do that is if they deal away Karlsson. But I'd imagine the only way they deal away Karlsson is if they land Dahlin somehow.

I think so as well, but that also leads to the question, if they sell off this year and draft high, can they turn it around in 2019 or are they giving away a lotto pick in 2019?

Yea you nailed it. They were one goal away from going to the cup final and who's to say they wouldn't have won it? They had to have felt they were close enough and were on the right path.
The one wild card with this team though is ownership. Is Eugene in the win now mode because of his health......how does his limited financial resources impact decisions? What directives does he give him GM??
Yeah it's a big gamble. honestly I'd only defer it if they pick top 2. Grab Dahlin or Svech and defer to 2019. If not then let them pick 3 to 10 or beyond. 2019 is looking like a much better class outside of the top 2 this year to rebuild with, especially if they trade Karlsson which should garner them a couple 1st rounders.
Does feel kind of good knowing Jets ownership has vast resources. Gone are the Barry shenkarow days thankfully.
