Most of these make sense but I disagree with the Boucher analysis.
He won’t cost much for several years and fits the identity they are trying to build to a tee. They’ve also put their necks on the chopping block to draft him.
I don’t see him getting moved unless he’s a key part in a trade which allows them to keep a Greig or Pinto (which itself is unlikely since they’re not the same tier of prospects). Unless he has a significant bounce back season I don’t see other teams shoving to the front of the line to acquire him either.
The team is also incredibly thin in RW prospects, moving on from him now just doesn’t make a ton of sense from an asset management POV.
I also don’t see the Sens trading Watson. I doubt they can get more than a 3rd for him and at that price they’ll probably prefer to keep him around the room. Hagel, Goodrow, and Coleman were all far better players than him when traded, and were all younger when traded, there isn’t much comparison there.
