Ottawa: Zibanejad, Prince, Cowen, 3rd

Columbus: Johanson, 4th

How much sense this trade makes is related to people knowledge of Zibanejad, huge potential however he's developing slowly.

Since Johanson has already gotten time on the fourth line under Tortorella, and I don't think its going to get much better knowing who the coach is, I believe they should trade him before he loses some value.

Prince is a good prospect, Cowen could use a new team however he has a bad contract, but Columbus could live with that. I believe that because of his bad contract, cowen is worth about a 2nd or a 3rd.

Huge overpayment by Ottawa, jackets would add.

This is not even close to enough for Johansen. He's just playing through a rough patch as the Jackets are struggling. He has a ton of potential

Remember Boston giving up Seguin? Columbus doesn't want the same to happen.

Zibanejad: 221GP 46G 68A 0.52/PPG

Johansen: 291GP 77G 106A 0.62/PPG

Considering Johansen is a year older, this Sens fan is willing to wait on Zibanejad, he was consistently in the Sens top 6 last year and continues to improve on a yearly basis. While Johansen would be a nice addition, is he really going to bring much more than Zibanejad considering this year he is playing on around the same level as Johansen?

Thats not considering the fact the Sens also give up Prince, Cowen and a third.

Massive overpayment from the Sens for a player we basically already have.

I wouldn't want to give up Zibanejad. Also I wouldn't say he's developing slowly, he's been developing his whole game. He does all the little things right and has offensive upside to go along with his 200ft game. No question Johansen is a better player offensively, but Zibanejad is or will be a all around better player. Also it's clear from last nights game against Dallas, Ottawa doesn't need more offence, they need better defence.

My original trade had Ottawa giving a little less but I thought people would complain, and honestly I think getting rid of Cowen is making our defence better. Not that he can't make it work anywhere else, but this year he really made me lose hope.
