Worse player, bigger cap hit and older. Doesn't seem very enticing for Florida.
If Hornqvist waives and Ottawa adds a 2nd this wouldn't be the worst trade Florida could makeWeegar - 3.250
Hornqvist - 5.300 (cap dump)
for
C.Brown - 3.600
E.Brannstrom - RFA
As a base. I know Ottawa adds. Just curious if that works as a base.
Ottawa would then either buy-out or retain on Zaitsev to somewhere like Arizona or Chicago.
Ottawa is buying out guys like Del Zotto to save about 20 bucks and you think they're going to take on Hornqvist?Weegar - 3.250
Hornqvist - 5.300 (cap dump)
for
C.Brown - 3.600
E.Brannstrom - RFA

Oh sorry thought you were talking about Zaitsev. Too many same letters lol.His cap hit right now is zero and he's younger than Weegar.
Weegar - Ottawa boy, wants to go home, lives in the city in the offseason
Giroux - Ottawa boy, wants to go home, lives in the city in the offseason
Dorion has been set free!
hahaha ok please give the July Cup to the SensIf Ottawa adds a legit top 4 D (as rumored), with Giroux, they are the 2nd best team in the division on the condition that Stutzle continues to improve and Sanderson steps in as advertised.
You are missing 1 factor there bud . Ottawa will spend money for players that can and will actually play , they will not take on dead cap . The estate is in probate there will be no dead money spending .1. They bought out Del Zottto because he sucks.
2. They saved 0.750 for a guy that would have been buried.
3. They added Talbot and Debrincat for 12.000m recently so I don't think money is a problem anymore.
They'd be taking on about as much salary in this deal, as they would by retaining 50% on Zaitsev. They come out of it with minimal actual costs and a top 4 Dman they desperately need.

Pick and Pinto?

Forgive my ignorance - isn't Weegar a UFA?
I honestly have no idea what Ottawa would even give that Florida would want. A 1st rd pick that they can flip?
so essentially replacing Weegar with a worse Weegar?It would allow them to sign a UFA Dman and get Connor Brown for the price of Weegar (who is on the block for whatever reason).
Pinto is staying put I think.

No thank you.Pick and Pinto?
