Simmer and 3Thirty were in some lengthy negotiations over the weekend and ended up losing out on Rantanen.

While unfortunate, landing Kyle Connor as a 2nd option is not a bad one.

I was actually a bit surprised, Connor had 38 goals in this most current season and 73 pts.

Anyways, the deal broke down as follows

TO DEVILS
J. Norris
J. Veleno

TO DUCKS
K. Connor
$1M Cheese

Norris was the key prospect here in the deal. The Sens have a lot of forward spots available and Norris was stellar in his first year in the AHL. I'd anticipate him having a strong year for the Sens.

Veleno was solid at Team Canada and while a few years away, is still a good prospect.

Thanks 3Thirty for the fun and 'thorough' conversations haha!! I enjoy GM's that negotiate back and forth through a deal.
