Never mind the term. This is just an exercise in looking at the outlines of the math involved, because I sense that a lot of people have leapt to the conclusion that Ottawa can't fit him in and will have to deal him away. I think that this is false, as this construction suggests. Of course, I could be mistaken about the four RFA signing prices I've imagined, but I don't think that I'm way off.

The trades seem realistic to me. Zaitsev dumped to Anaheim for a future second is a pretty popular idea on CapFriendly, and not just among Anaheim adherents. Sean Walker for one season is an excellent stop-gap measure, in part to shelter JBD and Thomson while they develop, and the cost of moving back about 40 slots from the second round into the third doesn't seem unfair, especially when you factor his low cap hit facilitating DeBrincat's retention into the equation. And there will be some excellent RhD prospects available to the Senators when they draft in the first round this summer.
