I think Ottawa would like a vet, especially one still in that 60-70pt range with no injury history, but dont think dandanov is a player PHI wants.
Zaitsev, whos a nice RD stay at home guy would be a better option, whos also on the hook for too many yrs and is a bit overpaid.
PHI could partner Zaitsev with rookie Cam York or Egor Zamula, or even outside chance of russian compatriot Provorov, but thats a deal PHI does.
Ellis-Savard-Zaitsev (Provorov-Sanheim-York/Zamula down left) down the right side looks good for PHI.
Im not sure Bonino is the key on 3C, I'm thinking Frost goes there, or even Laughton.
Without Bonino, and Zaitsev instead of Dandovov (with Frost on big club) that still leaves 3.3mil free, (with Braun and Morin and Riley Nash or 13th forward in press box) so maybe a better 4LW option than Bobby Ryan (which gives you 4.3mil) like an offensive speedster Mattheiu Perreault or even two-way Blake Coleman or make a trade for Ryan Reeves or Calle Jarnkrot.
