This thread will not end well for anyone.

1. Someone will offer a bunch of spare parts or some has-been.

2. Ottawa fans will be irate and respond with something ridiculous.

3. Other team's fans will respond with something more ridiculous.

4. Go to #2.

Kerfoot, Engvall, Dermott, rights to Andersen. Final offer.

detroit offers its 1st round pick. should be between 5-9

 

[MNRube]

I don’t see teams moving up to the top 4 this year. Too much uncertainty among top prospects. Also, Ottawa has a million quality prospects but need a few more blue chip types so I don’t see how this works for them either unless they are moving the pick for an NHL ready prospect.

 

[Flyer lurker]

If I may a different question. Why would OTT trade its pick? They are rebuilding and should be looking for as much young talent as they should get. If a team just missed the playoff and you think the one now player makes a them a playoff winning team, ok I can go there. But one or two vet players doesn't make OTT a contender.

 

[Fatass]

Van wins pick #2 in lotto. Sens get pick #4.
Canucks offer pick 2 for Ottawa’s picks 4 and 37

 

[Mickey Marner]

IMO, whoever wins 1st overall should trade back a few spots. Historically, in years where there isn't a strong concensus for #1 or #2, or a defenseman is the consensus #1, trading back is the correct option.

I would look to trading it back to Seattle if I were the team that won, they'd be happier than a pig in shit to make a big splash.

That’s an excellent question.

It’s at least one season too soon.

Given that we had the good fortune to draft first overall when Chris Phillips was available, I’m fairly certain we will this year too.

It would help to know Ottawa’s needs.

It would help to know Ottawa’s needs.

First pairing or first line guys lol.

We have enough guys that can fill out the rest of the roster with guys like tkachuk, batherson, Norris, stutzle, pinto, formenton, white, Paul, brown... And Chabot, brannstrom, zub, JBD, Sanderson coming...

2nd line or 2nd pairing D will not be a need going forward though we could maybe use a veteran #2-#3 stopgap defenseman until our guys need a raise.

 

[Cowumbus]

CBJ 2021 1st (6-10 OA) and the lower 2021 1st between TBL and TOR.

 

[KopitarFAN]

I think there will be at least a few teams at various points of the top 16 looking to get out, either to upgrade the big club or add picks in 2022.

I know that doesn't answer the question, just thought it was relevant.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

A very high 1st round pick.

Oh wow, look at that! We already have one

EDIT: on a more serious note we need a legit Dman who could play with Chabot (we might already have him in JBD) or a top 6 C (we might already have him in Pinto).

Ottawa has needs but we have some solid prospects that should be filtering through to address those needs. Considering our owner, small market, smaller budget and fickle fanbase, giving up that 1st makes no sense.

Depending on how the lottery ends up, if Buffalo gets #1 and Ottawa gets #2, I can see a swap happening. On the condition that Ottawa is not picking Beniers, of course.

#1 for #2 + (if Ottawa has one or more, a later 2nd. If the Sens only have 1, a 3rd) + the promise that Ottawa is not picking the guy the Sabres want

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Matt Tkachuk for a top 3 pick + Nick Paul

Beniers
Guenther
Power

any of those three would be huge adds for the Flames if we do go for a quick rebuild. That said I’d prefer to go after Bowen Byram for Tkachuk as I think the Avs have the depth on the blue line to make that trade.

 

[Gecklund]

Sharks offer Radim Simek, Martin Jones, and rights to Marcus Sorensen. If you don’t accept, you are wrong.

 

[LeProspector]

Unless you're offering a young, top pairing RD with term, or a #1 C with term, Ottawa likey doesn't listen to anything.

 

[Roof Daddy]

Why would they trade their 1st? Seems like the top 5 is D heavy and the Sens look like they could still benefit from adding another stud D.

But to play along, what about this idea...

To OTT: Laine, TOR 1st, TB 1st

To CBJ: OTT 1st

 

[CanadienShark]

CBJ 2021 1st (6-10 OA) and the lower 2021 1st between TBL and TOR.

I wouldn't do that if I were Columbus. This is one year where I'd be pretty happy to have as many mid-late 1sts as possible.

 

[CanadienShark]

Sharks offer Radim Simek, Martin Jones, and rights to Marcus Sorensen. If you don’t accept, you are wrong.

And somehow in one year it'll look like:

Prime Pronger + Prime Brodeur + Prime Lehtinen
for
Current Lucic

So to move up like 5 spots, the Blue Jackets pay another 1st rounder + Laine? Get out of here with that crap.

 

[Crazy8oooo]

If Beniers is also Otawa's guy, however, I don't see a 2nd being enough incentive for them to make the trade.

#1 for #2 + (if Ottawa has one or more, a later 2nd. If the Sens only have 1, a 3rd) + the promise that Ottawa is not picking the guy the Sabres want

Unless you foresee Ottawa only drafting 5 picks ahead of Toronto or Tampa Bay, I don’t think Columbus is only moving up 5 spots.
