A trade involving the Montreal Canadiens and the Ottawa Senators has just been revealed by the excellent Marco D'Amico
Over the past few hours, the excellent Marco D'Amico, who covers the Montreal Canadiens, released the following post.
"Just out of curiosity, if Ottawa was willing to offer a 2nd round pick in 2024 and Mathieu Joseph for a player like Jesse Ylönen or Michael Pezzetta, would you do it?
The Senators need to free up money, and the Canadiens need their roster to stay intact without adding a contract." This would be an interesting basis! Do you like this proposition?
It is obviously a crucial time for Pierre Dorion and the Sens, who absolutely must sign their promising young center Shane Pinto (who is a RFA), but Ottawa has no room under the salary cap.
They are forced to make a move!
They absolutely have to make a trade, and Mathieu Joseph is the one who has been identified.
Joseph, 26 years old, scored 18 points in 56 games last season and earns 2.95 million per season until 2026.
Would you trade a Ylonen or a Pezzetta for Joseph and a valuable 2nd round pick in 2024?
According to this poll with over 1600 votes, about 70% of fans would make the trade.
