Gudbranson would bump Jensen off the 2nd pair, which is good, but also more a comment on Jensen than Gudbranson.
Del Zotto would take Djoos' spot as odd man out.
Both of those guys together aren't worth a 1st. Gudbranson is solid for what he does, but he is not worth $4M. That $4M hurts the Cap's cap this summer. That $4M is also why the Pens only got a 7th for him a few months ago.
Using the players that you mention, you could just remove the picks: Gudbranson, Del Zotto for Copley, Djoos
Caps get more physical at D, and more actual D at D, while the Ducks get a backup goalie and cut salary.
