Why would Columbus want a defenseman who isn't waiver exempt? He doesn't crack their top 7

I’m guessing your trade is just “get these guys off my team” and instead of picking the first team name on the list who also happens to have more cap room and might be willing to be paid to take your scraps, you had to scroll for a little while for fun. No way Columbus accepts that.

Honestly i picked anyone with cap space to take it. Thomson is good just the rest of Ottawas d core is better. It's Sunday morning and I'm up too early. Just looking for something to do
