This is an easy pass.
Trading a guy who’s overpaid by $1MM for a guy that’s overpaid by $5MM isn’t a good idea for Ottawa.
Zaitsev is miscast as a top pair D, think Phaneuf, but he brings a lot more to a team than Eriksson, who’s barely holding onto a roster spot. Eriksson has 56 games left before Vancouver buys him out. Zaitsev will play through his contract, just not necessarily for Ottawa, but maybe he does stay in Ottawa. If Zaitsev is scoring 30 points or more, this isn’t even a conversation, but he isn’t, so he’s overpaid, but not like Eriksson.
