I thought they might be getting our 3rd back for offer sheet purposes but then I remembered that Arizona has our 2nd this year.

 

Maybe we get it back in another dump trade?

 

The wheels are turning.

I think they may have been waiting on Hamonic to TOR, but when TOR went with Gio, that left the OTT deal open. I'm happy, cleared some cap to do other things, and the Canucks have another pick, which is weird. Benning just gave them away.

You have to figure this move is because it’s hard to attract free agents to Ottawa with where the team is at right now. For $3 million and one year they will be able to have the player fill the role for a year and probably be able to trade him next deadline for the same return.

I like this deal because:

 

-we clear out much needed cap space

 

-get rid of a player who’s heart didn’t seem to be in it here

 

-it really doesn’t have much impact on our playoff push since Poolman and Burroughs can replace him.

Hopefully the first of a few moves to clear cap space and ensure we don’t pay the Halak bonus.

 

This could also be a pre-move for a larger deal like bringing in Schneider in that roster spot.

 

I hope it isn’t just clearing the way for the amazing Poolman’s return.

 

Good to not retain salary, we should also keep all our own picks going forward to keep offer sheets a possibility.  Trading other team’s picks we acquired is smarter

Hopefully poolman is gone too.
