Ottawa Senators

Team: 2021-22 Ottawa Senators

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 27, 2021

Published: Jun. 28, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Kerfoot trade

Kerfoot has a $1,950,000 signing bonus that would be paid by Toronto, so if Ottawa retains 50%, the results are;
Toronto gets Tierney for $1.75MM AAV and $4.05MM cash paid
Ottawa gets Kerfoot for $5.25 AAV and $2.85MM cash paid

Toronto gets $1.75MM lower cap while paying an extra $1.35MM in pay
Ottawa saves $1.35MM in pay while taking on an extra $1.75MM in cap

It's an Ottawa (Melnyk) thing

Seattle takes a goalie prospect

JBD and Pinto start the season in Belleville

Wennberg, incentive raise for one season. Safer to keep Wennberg focused on his next contract, placeholder for Pinto

Reilly, two year contract with a 33% raise, good chemistry with Zub

Brady's contract was difficult to determine. I originally thought Brady should receive what Chabot received, but I was comparing a #1D with a top6 winger. I like Brady, I think he should be Captain, but I asked myself, how much extra pay does being Captain get? None, of course. He will eventually be passed by Stützle on the depth chart, but will still deserve to be paid accordingly.

I then thought about PLD, who, in his final ELC season, was a year older...
PLD 18-31-49 in 70 games (0.70 ppg)
Brady 17-18-36 in 56 games (0.64 ppg)

Using the $5MM x 2, and the final season $6.65MM of PLD's contract, I considered this for Brady for eight seasons

$3.35MM
$6.65MM
$7MM
$7MM
$7MM
$8MM
$8MM
$8MM

$55MM over 8 seasons is an AAV of $6.875MM, which is why I finally settled on $7MM X 8
