Now we are also hearing that the Sens are shopping their top pick in this year\u2019s NHL Entry Draft. Moreover, they also have the 25<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">th<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s2\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\"> overall pick from the Boston Bruins.

Acquiring Alex <\/span><\/span><span class=\"s2\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">DeBrincat<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s2\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\"> at the 2022 NHL Entry Draft came with such optimism for the, at the time, General Manager Pierre <\/span><\/span><span class=\"s2\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">Dorion<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s2\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">. The Sens decided to relinquish their seventh overall pick in that year\u2019s draft in order to land Alex <\/span><\/span><span class=\"s2\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">DeBrincat<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s2\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">, who had one year left on his deal. Furthermore, with the seventh overall pick that year, the Chicago Blackhawks landed <\/span><\/span><span class=\"s2\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">defenceman<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s2\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\"> Kevin <\/span><\/span><span class=\"s2\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">Korchinski<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s2\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">.

Ottawa missed the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs, and subsequently preceded to lose him via trade to General Manager <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/y\/yzermst01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-06-14_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Steve Yzerman<\/a> and the Detroit Red Wings organization. It was either that or lose him for nothing in free agency. But we digress. Also, the Senators did acquire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/k\/kubaldo01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-06-14_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dominik Kubalik<\/a>, and a few other pieces, headlined with this year\u2019s lower first round selection. Unfortunately, the Senators were unable to get much production from Kubalik, and they want to make the playoffs sooner rather than later. Hence, stockpiling the draft and prospects pipeline isn&#8217;t much use either for the club&#8217;s direction.<\/p>\n<h3>This Year&#8217;s Offseason Free Agency and Trade Possibilities<\/h3>\n<p class=\"s3\">So how does all these details affect the club\u2019s 2024 offseason? We aren&#8217;t entirely sure either but will give it a try. Speaking at Wednesday evening\u2019s Spring Summit for Canadian Tire Centre and Ottawa Senator season-ticket holders was Sens management and media stirring rumours alike. Senior Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/p\/poulida02.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-06-14_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dave Poulin<\/a> and others were discussing certain topics regarding the club\u2019s summer agenda. When Poulin addressed the media, courtesy of the <a href=\"https:\/\/ottawacitizen.com\/sports\/taking-care-of-business-ottawa-senators-trying-to-make-changes-are-listening-on-no-7-pick\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"s5\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">Ottawa Citizen<\/span><\/span><\/a> he brought some clarity to his message<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"s3\"><span class=\"s2\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">\u201cWe had interest in the (No. 7) pick.<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s2\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\"> Teams will call you and say, \u2018Are you interested in moving the pick?\u2019 and you don\u2019t know what that\u2019s going to look like because you don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to be available there. You have to stay very flexible.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"s3\">Likable RFA was re-signed, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/c\/crookan01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-06-14_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Angus Crookshank<\/a>. Also, some rumours appeared on trade bait. The two newer angles were that the seventh overall pick and possibly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/k\/korpijo01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-06-14_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Joonas Korpisalo<\/a> were available. However, as tempting of trade bait as those two pieces may seem, they do come with each of their own unique downsides. The draft pick would be nice to keep to stockpile the prospect pipeline. Now that certainly is a nice to have but definitely not necessary to keep. Although the prospect pool is considered high this year. Seventh could be a very nice pick such as <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2024\/04\/22\/zayne-parekh-scouting-report\/\" target=\"_self\">Zane Parekh<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2024\/04\/06\/sam-dickinson-scouting-report\/\" target=\"_self\">Sam Dickinson<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"s3\">Furthermore, the problem with Korpisalo\u2019s trade value, is he is coming off a poor season statistically, which makes his contract look terrible, term and amount. Now we don&#8217;t have capacity for an analysis of why each rank is where it is but let&#8217;s provide the ranked list of the Ottawa Senators top available trade bait.<\/p>\n<p class=\"s3\">Who do the Senators have to trade:<\/p>\n<p>Name &#8211; Position &#8211; Free Agent Status at Contract Expiry &#8211; 2024-25 Salary &#8211; Year of Current Contract Expiry (Blank if Free Agent on July 1st)<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/c\/chychja01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-06-14_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jakob Chychrun<\/a> &#8211; LD &#8211; UFA &#8211; $4.6 M &#8211; 2025<\/li>\n<li>7th overall pick<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/f\/forsban01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-06-14_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anton Forsberg<\/a> &#8211; G &#8211; UFA<span class=\"s2\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\"> &#8211; $2.75 M &#8211; 2025<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/n\/norrijo01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-06-14_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Josh Norris<\/a> &#8211; C &#8211; UFA &#8211; $7.95 M &#8211; 2030<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/j\/josepma01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-06-14_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mathieu Joseph<\/a> &#8211; W &#8211; UFA &#8211; $2.95 M &#8211; 2026<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/k\/korpijo01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-06-14_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Joonas Korpisalo<\/a> &#8211; G &#8211; UFA &#8211; $4 M &#8211; 2028<\/li>\n<li>25th overall pick<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/b\/branner01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-06-14_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Erik Brannstrom<\/a> &#8211; D &#8211; RFA &#8211; 2024<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/k\/kubaldo01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-06-14_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dominik Kubalik<\/a> &#8211; W &#8211; UFA &#8211; 2024<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/b\/bernaja01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-06-14_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jacob Bernard-Docker<\/a> &#8211; RD &#8211; RFA<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Summarizing the Ottawa Senators Potential Trade Rumours<\/h3>\n<div>Therefore, we should have a pretty clear indication of who and what assets the Ottawa Senators have available to offer as traders.
