Description

I know Bear isn't back for a while, but he's better than Zaitsev and if he likes his time here...extend?
We don't exactly have a lot of RD in the farm system.

Mathieu is overpaid...yes, but we have the cap space to take him on. OTT gets a similar player back for less than the league minimum and RFA status.

I'm not sure we have any extra 2027 2nd rounders...

Yes, Joseph is overpaid but it's not by much, 500 to 700K at most. If OTT had the cap they wouldn't be moving him at all.
If OTT had a need for Katchouk this might not seem like an overpayment, but as it is, OTT is paying too much to ship Joseph here.

Quoting: TCMonkey

I guess I just disagree. Joseph is making ~4x what Boris is making and nothing about last year (in isolation I'll admit) says they're really all that different. Yes a little...ok fine, but $9.3M is what's owed to Mathieu. That's down right awful for a guy they'll give 14 atoi to.

I like both moves for the Hawks. Sens fans probably balk at including Thomson in the deal though.
