Quoting: Alfie11
Yeah if anything it should be two 1sts plus lol. Marleau only would have cost Carolina 1.25mil if he played, and his buyout only cost 800k over 2 years. Paying 3.5mil money and 6mil cap hit for 2 years is significantly worse, 1st+2nd is probably a steal
It's time for Ottawa to stop trading for picks. Buying out Eriksson and Baertschi cost, after Van pays Eriksson's bonus, 3.666667 mil over 4 years and Baertschi 1.6 over 2 years. Minus whatever Ottawa has to pay towards Gaborik. Saves Van over 8 mil, 7.5 if they bury Baertschi. Get prospects.
If they sign Markstrom get DiPietro.
If they sign Tanev get Rathbone.
Get Kole Lind.
There's your deal: Eriksson, Baertschi, DiPietro, Kind and Rathbone for Hawryluk and Gaborik.
Nets out to Toffoli, Tanev, Markstrom, their 2021 1st and Hawryluk to Van. They can even sign back Eriksson after he's bought out....
