Blues trade Binnington to New Jersey for Mercer and Daws or Allen.

Not saying I disagree. Just trying to understand it from a NJD fan's side.
Burakovski, Giroux, Zetterlund, and a 2nd Round Pick trade to Philadelphia for Michkov
Then in the Off-season next summer
Ottawa sends the max offer sheet possible to Celebrini.
Ottawa upgrades its 1 - 2 punch on the blueline, plus adds 2 major threats up front, be hard for San Jose to match the max offer Sheet with all the massive contracts they just aquired, plus all the high end Talent that will all be due for massive pay raises in the next few years. Worst case, Ottawa sends the Offer Sheet, then uses it to blackmail a trade for Stenberg if they take a bad contract with him so San Jose can match the Celebrini offer sheet, either way Ottawa wins.
Sanderson Zub
Schaefer Yakemchuck
(Pairs more than interchangeable for Top)
Ulmark
Meralainen
Before you say Ottawa don't have the cap to pull this off, look at the contracts going out, Chabot - 8 m, Spence - 5 m, Giroux - 2 m, Zetterlund - 5 m, Burakovski - 5 mil, and Pinto, 7.8 m. That's 33 m total plus the 10 m when cap goes up next season making it 43 m total, and a year or 2 to dump whatever necessary to negotiate long term deals for everyone aquired and re up Batherson.

You think everything any sens fan posts is horrible Facelift39, I could say Ottawa trades Stutzle and Sanderson for Crosby and you'd still say Ottawa needs to add simply because you don't respect Sens players value until after they are no longer Sens, then all of a sudden they become gold and worth 10 times more.
Please stop reacting to my posts and let people who understand the sport and how value works talk about this stuff!

The Islanders have less than 4 million in capspace, so I doubt they would consider even thinking about being way over 10 million in space.
Also, why would they even consider trading Schaeffer?

Pinto's not going anywhere. Give your head a shake.

I’m a Sens fan and none of this makes any sense for anyone involved.
Why would Islanders trade Schaeffer?
Chabot and Pinto are part of the Ottawa core - they won’t be traded.
San Jose would match any offer sheet and have made multiple deals with us. Why would we sour that relationship?
Why would we trade Giroux after he stayed with us through free agency?

Or, keep the same players in the trade and Toronto adds Danford, Cowan and Holinka and the Canucks retain 3-4 million on EP40 contract and include Hronek.
