We don't need Thompson, Hill, and Talbot.

watson is less than worthless, he's not an NHL player

Watson lol

Also you only can retain on 2 players

Ottawa can't afford Fabbro's next contract, half of Zaitsev AND DeBrincat next year.

ya thats what i though so like desciption said if ottAWa does even two trades...than at least they get something for the ufa's

i am just thinking how the new ownership group would aproach this , not sure how they will approach Cat this offseason , they qualify him? or do they move him?

I don't think moving him is an option. They wouldn't get enough of a return to justify it.

The Ducks aren't paying a 3rd rounder for retention that they don't need.

>> anehiem be hard pressed to hit salary floor if they are sellers at deadline

Every cap strapped team with a contract to dump said the same exact thing last summer and zero teams had any trouble hitting the floor, including the Ducks. Nothing is easier in the NHL than spending money.

Bruins saw enough of Holden the last time he was with the organization

zaitev? if ottawa sweetens the pot?

Zaitsev plus a 2nd to Anaheim is a trade you see often enough suggested on here. I think most Ducks fans are OK with that idea.

No need to retain on a cap dump. We're perfectly willing to take Zaitsev at fill load with the later of your two 2024 seconds in return for our 2024 seventh.

Since the Senators are already retaining on Matt Murray this season (and next), they can only retain on two more transactions.
