All these trades of dumping expensive, poor contracts on Ottawa are so...bad. Ottawa doesn't want to pay a non performing player 5.75m for four more years. Just spend 5.75m on a fair to good player.
Ottawa is going to have a choice of fair to good players on short term deals as teams need to dump cap.
Believe Gaborik's contract is 3.875m paid insurance, 1m by the team.
I know Ottawa management is criticized (for good reason). But they have set themselves up with future draft picks and lots of cap room. If done correctly they can be good team and soon. No use gumming up cap space with Neal or similar contracts.
