TSN stole it from Eklund who had an insider that worked as a plumber who fixed the house of a custodian at Canadian Tire Center who overheard someone while going #2 that heard Ottawa would keep their #4 pick.

Essentially, the #4 pick combined with the #2 at the toilet means that Ottawa will land between the #2-4 pick for next year's draft.

They could be. But not certain they'd be bottom 5 bad, depending on what happens with EK65. And even a lottery pick isn't guaranteed to be better than Zadina.

Fair enough, however if they do ship karlsson out I have a very hard time believing they're not in the bottom 3 next year

Yeah it could be very bad if EK65 is shipped out. The return would have to include some immediate or near-term offensive help both in the top 6 and on D.

Obviously Ottawa had bigger expectations last year but had pretty much been downward spiral since the Duchene trade.

I wonder if we will see more top-x protected picks going forward after this trade, fairly common in the NBA. For example, STLs pick was top 10 protected this year.

Tough decision for the Sens. Can you imagine Ottawa giving Jack Hughes to Colorado in 2019 and losing Duchene to free agency??
