Yeah, so then the Ducks can roll-out Lindholm, Fowler, prospect, prospect, prospect, veteran on a 1 year deal...that sounds a bit foolish...
As for the Mac/Zaitsev trade, why would Ottawa do that? MacArthur's contract is insured, so they'd pay a portion of the $4.65 mil, whereas with Zaitsev, they'd pay the full $4.5 for the next 5 years. It doesn't benefit them at all. "Here, take $20+ million owed to Zaitsev, and we'll take one year of an insured contract off of your hands...We'll even give you these late round picks to spice it up!"
