I wouldn't give up Bolduc AND a 1st, probably one or the other. Or one has to be downgraded.

Yup, I'd do that.

Though I have a feeling Poile would rather re-sign Ekholm. We'll have to wait and see!

I agree with that. As far as fits go this is pretty nice

well then Nashville definitely declines that. Has to be both

Also have the cap to hopefully re-sign him.

Good to know you’re at the negotiating table

1st and Salo, but you have to keep Bolduc right now. Him and Dobson are the second pair of the future.

Then take out the 3rd. I think Ekholm comes in as a rental, not someone we can sign long-term. If there's an extension in place, then I'd do the deal as is.

Good thing I said that

you literally did hahahaha

please quote where I said I was at the negotiation table

Dumping Hickey and Komarov will cost two seconds.

One for each dump.

you literally named the price

going rate for 5.5m is a second round pick

I like Salo a 2 and bellows better for us but idk if Nashville goes for that

Anton Stralman's cap hit was 5.5 million and he has 1 year left.

He was dumped on Arizona at the cost of a 2024 second and a second round pick from 2019.

The cost to dump Komarov and Hickey is two seconds or its equivalent.

That's not negotiable.



I'd love to know where you found this "going rate".

Or whether you just made it up

Ladd had 2 years at 5.5 and it took 2 2nds. That means 1 year of 5.5 is 1 2nd.

Yeah I was surprised at that. If he came with a decent extension id do it as is. Otherwise as a rental I wouldn't be so keen to move another 1st.

If you prefer to use Ladd as the comparable instead of Stralman for dumping Komarov and Hickey, then this trade can be made with Arizona instead.

Ottawa declines

Their loss they might enjoy having some winners in that room

Your depiction of Hickey as a winner is really fascinating.

Also, didn't you place Komarov on waivers like 3 times this season?



Your concept of what a winner is seems rather compelling.

I must say

Yeah sure. Realize how arizona got all the cap dumps this offseason. You know why? Because they didn't charge exorbitant prices.

I'm charging the same price for dumping Komarov and Hickey as Arizona did for having Stralman dumped on them by Florida.

Nothing exorbitant about it.



Saying Stralman is not among those cap dumps on Arizona is a fallacy.

You should know better :/

Im looking at ladd deal. And what about the ghostisbehere deal? He only took 1 2nd to move as did tyler Johnson. Duncan fukn Keith got assets back!!! In no world does leo+hickey cost more to move than Tyler Johnson.

what’s the concept of a winner up in ottawa
