Ottawa trades:
-Mika Zibanejad

Edmonton trades:
-Nail Yakupov

Why?
Trading Zbad allows Lazar to step in as a center this year and Sens add a scoring threat. Edmonton get a consistent scorer who could easily take their second line center job

Actually a great trade.

I would puke if we did that. Not that Yakupov is a bad player, or that this isn't good value, but Zibanejad is showing some great progress and potential despite playing on the bottom six. I don't like the look of Yakupov's attitude or progress in the NHL so far, but he's still a phenomenal young player in my opinion.

Bottom line: It's too early for BOTH teams to trade these young guns. Let them reach 25 or something before making a decision.

That's a good trade. Maybe OTT adds a 3rd or 4th though.

finally a decent yak to OTT trade lol.

Ottawa wouldn't do that. A potential 1/2 c who has shown great top six ability in rw as well for yak, ottawa wouldn't do it
