Ottawa missed a great opportunity to weaponize their capspace. I like the idea of picking up Fleury, retain some salary and then flipping him to a team (and Carolina needs a goalie!), but last I heard Nilsson is questionable, he still has issues with a concussion, so i doubt he has any trade value until he is able to return to play. Hogberg should be fine as a backup, and they have a few good goalie prospects coming.
Why they gave up anything to acquire Gudbrandson when they couldve likely gotten another asset/pick to take on a contract like Boychuk, Hjalmarsson,Demers etc. is dumbfounding.
Adding Eriksson (who is owed very little, and is fine on your 4th line) and getting another asset for nothing more than capspace (or a LTIR waste like Gaborik), should be a no brainer, although I doubt the Canucks are willing to move a 1st rounder to do it.
