I am honestly not entirely sure of the overpay-underpay situation for this trade. If you dont want to get rid of Ladd's salary, you can easily slot out Kieffer and slot in a second and third, or maybe a player like Leddy (who is still capable and another replaceable asset) and keep Ladd on LTIR for the time being.
The cap situation still looks a bit rough but finding a way to get rid of Boychuk and Leddy will ease the burden on our cap a ton. Besides them though we will probably need to get rid of some of the bloat contracts such as Matt Martin (easily replaceable by the more cost-effective Ross Johnston), Cizikas (as much as I love Zeeker and his 20 goals last season, he might need to be replaced for cap reasons. A similar player to his style, with less points of course, would be Zemgus Girgensons, a fan favourite of myself and many others) and Komarov (Fan favourite on the Island and team's father and mentor for players like Barzal and Beauvillier. Would hate to see him go but his contract is a little nasty) should things get tough.
