Regardless of your opinion on Boucher, that White deal is beyond awful for Ottawa. Ottawa is retaining double what the cap hit on White's buyout would be, taking back a bad contract and giving up a prospect. Ottawa is getting hosed. I'd be open to retaining salary on the White deal, but if they're retaining up to that 875K or above and not receiving something good in return why should they bother? Just buy him out.
I remember reading that Dylan Strome might not even recieve a qualifying offer. If that's the case he's not worth a thing in a trade, just wait til he's non tendered and make an offer in free agency. Personally not a believer in Strome. He'd definitely be an improvement to the forward group, but definitely not one I'd move assets for. Getting him for free as a FA is a different story.
