Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

I know Toffoli has been beaten to death on here, but I think he would be a solid 2RW that solidifies the top 6 for the Bs. I went with what I felt was a fair price, NHL D-man- high prospect who's progressing and getting close to NHL readiness, and a 2nd round pick.

My next move was purely for cap. I tried looking in to Gaborik's injury, but didn't find anything newer than last year when he was still seeing a back specialist in LA. My thought process here is that the Bs get an immediate 1.2 extra cap space, while the Sens get a leadership guy who can still play (when healthy). This trade is solely based on thinking that Gaborik is on LTIR and basically it's only his contract being traded, and that he most likely will never actually play for the Bruins.

My thinking here is that Ottowa at least gets someone who can play now, and the Bruins can clear Backes' contract without having to overpay massively to attach him on to another deal.
