Detroit: SJ's second round pick
Ottawa: Trevor Daley

Ottawa needs a vet NHL defenseman. Detroit also rebuilding and could use the pick.

You can find ‘good leaders’ and veteran presence type guys for free in free agency, even after camps when some PTOs are released. Without giving up a 2nd while trying to accumulate young players.

I am just thinking that those players haven't been signed or released from a PTO for a reason. I would rather have that roster spot taken by a kid. But I think when these guys get undressed by the elite, you'd like a little more than Ceci and Boro on the bench to provide that veteran element and leadership. Maybe the answer is in coaching or player development guys. Donovan and Kelly have a load of experience, but as players they were not that different from one another so likely bring a lot of the same attributes to the table. So if they hire only ex-Sens for this type of role, then maybe Curtis Lesyschen could be coerced. Or Chris Phillips or Wade Redden. You have to know every team is going to come hard on the forecheck against this D.

Hey, if that’s what you want to spend assets on, I’d be happy to try to convince Dubas to send Hainsey your way for a 2nd.

Reality is, guys get cut from PTOs becaue they lack the speed or skill they used to have, not character and leadership. If they weren’t good characters, they never would get invited to be around a teams youth at camp to begin with.
