After the Senators acquired Alex DeBrincat and Claude Giroux to bolster their forward corps, no one could have blamed Senators fans for waiting for the shoe to drop.
If I was to make a wild guess, the 2nd rounder acquired from Washington was potentially part of a package for Marino, but for whatever reason the Penguins went with New Jersey's off rather than the Sens' proposal.
Yeah, that was my feeling as well. I don't know if a 2nd+Brannstrom package gets that deal done, but I'm kind of glad that Ottawa missed out on Marino.
