Quoting: bhavikp27
Not pointless, it's realistic.
I quote from above:
Possibly the Johansen trade. It's a bit out there. But what other team would be interested in Johansen?
But the others?
- Vancouver will need a new 7th D and we have excess forwards. Mac fits ottawa's fourth line perfectly.
- Florida is supposed to cut salary, and Stralman has not been a successful signing. If there's no buyout, then Florida would likely consider moving him. The return wouldn't be that high.
- The MTL swap follows the idea of the Vancouver swap.
- Finally, the CBJ trade: White took a step back and given his extension that's not a good sign. Wennberg has struggled under Tortz system, but still carries 50 point / 2nd line potential. It is a risk for Ottawa in that Wennberg might not rebound and White does, and likewise for CBJ if White's downward trend continues. Either way, both guys carry an almost identical cap hit, so I think there is some logic to the idea's base framework.
Read this, then give your take.
