To Arizona:
Chris Tierney
Anders Nilsson
To Ottawa:
Derek Stepan
Vinny Hinostroza
Antti Raanta
Marian Hossa
Key points:
This is largely to help Arizona create cap space to re-sign Taylor Hall.
The deal shifts about $12M in cap to Ottawa but only increases their existing budget by about 800k since Stepan and Raanta have already been paid signing bonuses, more than half of their contracts for next season.
Hossa is only owed $200k after LTIR insurance. Hossa also helps Ottawa stay above the floor if they move out a salary like Anisimov midseason.
Raanta becomes the starter in Ottawa (assuming Anderson is done) but still leaves enough playing time for Hogberg. Nilsson backs up in AZ.
Both Tierney and Hinostroza are RFAs.
