The Ottawa Senators have put their seventh overall pick on the market and, according to rumors, may trade Jakob Chychrun to Philadelphia.
Marc-Olivier Beaudoin has put forward a bold proposal suggesting that Steve Staios, Sens' GM, aims to bolster their defense by acquiring Kaiden Guhle in exchange for the 7th pick.
This proposal raises critical questions for the Canadiens: should they opt for a potential elite defenseman like Guhle or prioritize a first-round pick to draft talents like Sam Dickinson or Zeev Buium, future top-tier defensemen?
Despite potentially stepping back in the short term, the long-term prospects of Dickinson or Buium could outshine Guhle's, especially given his recurrent injuries. This complex decision will need to weigh the potential risks and rewards for the Canadiens.
