Peace be upon you
I don’t see how anything besides MDZ and Zaitsev getting shipped out would make this move even remotely decent.
Tierney is off the books either way, maybe he gets traded for something. Josh Brown could be gone, if Del Zotto is traded, his $2 million + which is currently sitting in Belleville can be used here in Ottawa. Sanford is gone, Ennis gone, and Zaitsev gone would be a miracle but that shedding that contract itself will make much needed room on the blueline for real help.
A 3rd round pick is still too high, but asset management aside, the money when all is said and done will not be an issue.
