[Proposal] OTT, Ab Teams & Us

[Nuxfanabroad]

Visualizing an active trading-draft. Lots of Cdn teams flip the bird to the US rigged league, dealing amongst themselves. In truth I'd like to see a resurgence for all Cdn teams, their fans foot the bill, & deserve it.

 

OTT: Z Smith, Ceci(RFA) & 2nd r pick(32 OA)

EDM: Looch(retain 1 mill x 4 yrs), Petrovic, EDM 1st(8 OA)

 

- Coilers cough up a first, to mostly dump cap hit. They might even deal off Ceci for that extra cap space.

 

***********************************************************************************

 

OTT: Boedker, Harpur, 2020 3rd rounder

CAL: Neal(retain 1 mill), Rasmus Anderson, 2020 2nd

-similar to above deal. Sens taking on cap to reach floor. Improving their significant stash of picks.

 

*************************************************************************************

Then, after we pay his bonus, we make this deal in early July...

 

OTT: Looch, Rasmus Anderson

VAN: Eriksson(also retain 1 mill, per yr), Sautner

 

-we pay about 9 mill more(real dollars) with Loui's deal. Gain a great young RhD in Andersson. Ottawa has so much nice youth, they sell off the better prospect for 9 mill in real $!

 

**************************************************************************************************:

 

Ottawa winds up with Neal, Eriksson & Ryan being 17,000,000 of AAV next 3 or 4 yrs. So much youth, they'll hover near the floor.

With EDM's & CBJ's 1st in 2019, they can move on(looking fwds) from the Duchene fiasco.

hmmm... that leaves us with Lucic? I don't like the sound of that..

I had kicked around/mulled over versions of this last month. Today on HF, I see a trade that's similar. Leaving the Flamers out(too complicated).

 

OTT/EDM make deal at draft.

 

-Sens get Looch & #8 OA pick. Maybe EDM retains 1 mill/per yr?

- EDM gets cap-filler(off books in a yr perhaps? Like Ceci, Boedker, Zack Smith types) & possibly a nice prospect or 2nd rounder(?)

 

*********************July Arrives(bonuses paid)***********************

 

-Vancouver & Ottawa deal:

Loui for Looch. We add a Schaller, Goldy type, & OTT adds a great prospect like Formenton, & possibly one of their many 2nd, 3rd rounders in 2020

 

1- VAN..We pay more $ out, but at least get some muscle, instead of Loui's 2 hits per campaign. Looch agrees to ED-exposure(unlikely to be claimed anyhow). Perhaps buy him out, with new CBA coming soon?

 

2- EDM ..moves on from a glaring FA-error. Lose a top pick for this egregious gaffe. Perhaps deal RNH to recoup picks & chase some C like Kadri or Turris? Holland sacrifices a nice #8 OA pick, to wipe the slate clean.

 

3- OTT ..gets Loui(6 mill AAV, for 50% $$$). Loui gets less travel, & new start. Importantly Sens get a top-10 pick to move on from the Duchene/Avs debacle, adding another top piece to their aggressive rebuild.

I can’t see a young solid asset like Rasmus Anderson being moved for so little.

[underrated]

If Calgary is willing to give up Rasmussen and a 2nd for taking on Neal, we absolutely jump on that deal in a heart beat.
