Yzerman would be foolish to dump a 2nd to get rid of Holl.

Just buy him out.

Cap charge is 1.133 mil

Boston would fill Dowds role in free agency and keep the little draft capital they have.

Maybe at the TDL that just passed, but don’t see why the Leafs would trade for dman (and lose one of very draft picks they have), when they can just sign equivalent in FA

Not sure why you even have to retain salary on Dowd, plus why not keep him?? Such a valuable guy to the Caps.
