Conclusion
That concludes what could safely be called the least-sexy trade proposals piece of all time as with the exception of Kapanen and possibly Puljujarvi, there were no impact players involved. That may be okay for a team like Ottawa though, who have one of the league’s top prospect systems and should now be looking to supplement the emerging young core instead of swinging for the fences, at least for the time being.
Not all of the trades seem like big wins, or even wins at all for the team, but by grounding ourselves in the fantasies of fans of other teams, the trades can seem a whole lot more reasonable.
