Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Ottawa needs to get to the cap floor and has a huge void at center. Wennberg has term on his contract with a respectable price tag. It would be a low risk move as Ottawa has picks at it's disposal and Wennberg can either be a piece of the core of the rebuild or be a place holder for a team transitioning through s rebuild.

Jackets get some draft picks they really need to restock the pipeline.

I know most Leafs fans will say this is too much to give up but Savard fits a real need of Toronto. He is a RHD that eats minutes, blocks shots, and above all else is not a defensive liability. He can contribute offensively but his real value is his shot suppression. But because of the scarcity of these type of players and the lack of draft picks the Leafs are willing to trade, they elect to trade prospects instead.

Jackets get valuable assets back that will serve for the present and the future. Miro Aaltonen gives the Jackets a chance and gets a spot on the third line. This is the wild card of the trade. His ability to play center and wing will make him very useful in Torts line blender. Kerfoot gives the Jackets a 2nd line center who will get to play meaningful minutes here and give the Jackets scoring depth in a position they need the most.

Edmonton will load up for one more chance while they have RNH. After next season he will be an UFA and very unlikely to return because of the cap. Anderson can be McDavid's right winger giving him a real power forward with more skill than what Kassian does now. They also will get to dump Russell's contract and get Harrington who is signed to a decent contract (which is a two year contract) and is far more useful than Russell.

The Jackets get Caleb Jones and 1st and take the cap dump of Russell. The Jackets have cap room and can easily absorb his contract. He also could be very useful as a depth defenseman on a team that as we know this year needs depth.

Detroit gets a young goalie to anchor their rebuild. Korpisalo is well developed goaltender and Detroit is still trying to find someone to fill that void.

The Jackets simply load up on picks for the future. Jarmo making up for using picks last season to go all in.
