Komarov has one year left at 3m and would likely cost a 2nd to dump.
Hickey has one year left at 2.5m. I’m not a big Bode Wilde fan but lets say he’s worth around a 3rd and he’s used to get the Sens to take Hickey on.
Ladd has two years left at 5.5m per year. That’s an 11m cap dump. Mayfield is okay but he did average just under 20 mins/game the last two years so he likely does have some value on that contract. Because the contract isn’t bad, I’m not sure the Isles would be interested in moving him but is he worth taking on Ladd’s contract?? I’d say no and not even close.
Id pass on the deal. Ottawa’s taking on 16.5m in cap dumps and only getting a 2nd, a B prospect and a bottom 4RD.
**Edit: Also the Sens are giving up Zaitsev for free?? He had a great year. He’s probably 1.5-2m overpaid but he’s useful to the team and plead carved out a role that he plays well. I’m not sure if you view him as a cap dump or something but there’s no reason to dump him when the team isn’t worried about the cap….
