Del Zotto, Michael
White, Colin
Additional Details:
The C. White buyout costs Ottawa about $1M less than Monahan does for a year. Ottawa ends up saving a bit of cash in this deal while avoiding dead cap. How much does Calgary need to add to make this trade go through?

Monahan, Sean
Ottawa isn't buying out White. Buyouts are an extreme solution, and paying White $5.25MM to go away is just silly considering the Sens don't want to pay Zaitsev his $2MM signing bonus, which is basically just a portion of his pay, in a lump sum. They don 't want to pay lump sums, and aren't going to pay a guy to just go away. They bought out Ryan because he was done, as evidenced by his 33 games after the buyout, and then out of hockey. Phaneuf was retained salary that the LA Kings turned into a buyout.
White might be traded, but he also could stay and Brown traded. There isn't room for all three of Pinto, White, and Brown since Joseph was acquired. Brown had a hot streak of 15 goals in 21 games to end last season, but before that he had 7 goals is 36 games, and since then, 10 goals in 56 games.
36 games, 7G, (16 goal per 82 games rate)
21 games, 15G, (59 goal per 82 games rate)
56 games, 10G, (15 goal per 82 games rate)
Brown has his strengths, but scoring goals was a short term hot streak.
I've had some fun with that hot streak, quoting numbers is various groupings, but at the end of the day, it was a hot streak with an unsustainable 27.8% shooting percentage.
So expect one of White or Brown traded, but don't expect a buyout.
As
@Claesson4Norris already stated, there's no room for Monahan with Norris, Stützle, and Pinto in Ottawa. White can at least play the wing, is a right hand shot, and is a major glue guy, not to be moved just for moving sake.
