Description

Strategy is to take on a few picks while taking salaries that bring them up to the floor.

Take on salaries like Lucic and Darling, unloading smaller less desirable contracts the other way (Condon, Smith). Sign potential depth, character, leadership players like Hainsey. Sign potential deadline trade chips in Filppula, Ceci, Nilsson.

Finally - send Anderson home (family is in Florida) for younger, cheaper Reimer (I didn’t say better).

What would you do differently in a tank - I mean rebuilding - year?

The idea is basically pretty good in this, but there's one issue - OTT never acquires free agents.

Name one UFA that signed at least $1M contract with OTT from last 10 years. I can't think of a single player.

I like the idea, and the fact that you don't have everyone giving you 1st round picks.

Hard to know if Lucic would ever consider waiving his NMC to go to Ottawa though. Sure, Edmonton is a barren $hithole of an organization, but Ottawa is a straight up dumpster fire.

IMO Sens have to commit to Ceci or trade him, don't really see why he'd sign another 1 yr deal.
