Sujet: Ottawa gets interesting
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DiehardRedWingsFan58</b></div><div>Zero chance of either Johnson or Killorn waiving for Ottawa, Don't see either wasting their time on a rebuilding club that's still 4-5 years away from being extremely competitive.</div></div>

Seriously though...

Ottawa doesn't want these guys. They are on the downside of their careers, in their decline years, with a combined cap hit of $9.45MM, for three years, and a fourth year at $5MM. Ottawa is a young team, with good young players. Ottawa is going to have 3-4 players move up to become full time NHL players this season, 2-3 players next season, and another 2-3 the following season. That's possibly half the team over the next 3 seasons. No room for your guys.

BTW, what's up with Tyler Johnson?
66 19 26 45 - 0.682 ppg (points per game)
81 21 29 50 - 0.617 ppg
80 29 18 47 - 0.588 ppg
65 14 17 31 - 0.477 ppg

That's three straight years of decline for the 30 year old, and four more contract years with a cap hit of $5MM. I understand the two first round picks now, which is fair, to a rebuilding team. I'd suggest a team just entering their rebuild because those first round picks aren't arriving for at least 5 seasons (the first pick is still one season away from being picked), and not helping for a couple after that. It's not like they will be top10 overall picks.
