Ottawa with their first, Silfverberg + Noesen is better than having just Ryan IMO.
The day and age of selling farm for 1 player is over.
This is a 4 line league you have to have depth. 2 potentially major assets and 1 depth player for 1 major asset. Do the math.
That deal hurts the Sens more IMO.

I disagree with the bolded text. Ottawa had no first line talent and Silfverberg is not first line talent.
Yes, you need organizational depth. But LA has won the Cup twice while making significant trades where multiple
potentially major assets went out in return for 1 major asset.
Reality is you need depth and high end talent. Silfverberg is depth talent, Ryan is high-end talent.
Yes, you need to be able to roll 4 lines - but your top 2 lines need to have high-end talent to compete with the opposition. You need game breakers.
