Sens should take advantage of being the team with the most ideal situation to help teams with their cap but they probably won't, because Melnyk doesn't want to spend money especially on bad players.

that is very true, which sucks because ottawa can get alot from it

Are you aware of who your owner is?

Is Puljujärvi worth that much? Jack Johnson has $13M left and you're getting a 1st from Pittsburgh. Lucic has $24M left plus he has a NMC and you're getting a 3rd and Puljujärvi from Edmonton. Lucic's NMC means you HAVE TO protect him in the expansion draft you also can't waive or bury him without his ok. So Puljujärvi is worth $11M and a NMC to you.

Zero chance of Lucic waiving his NMC for Ottawa. And Vanek probably takes a 1 x 3 deal no way he signs that low.

JP is worth a 2nd at most, so OTT taking the worst contract in the NHL for essentially a 2nd and 3rd..ya not even on every drug known to man would any GM taker that. The cost to take Lucic was the 8th OA ++ before the draft, EDM is stuck with Lucic for a long time.
