With the amount of money Ottawa traded away they have to take on salary.
As I stated earlier, Ott has $45M tied up in 14 contracts next year. They have 4 RFA which I assume they will try to sign. They are going to be very near the cap floor.
Be interesting to see what would be involved if Ott wins the draft lottery, being favorites and all. Could announce a very large deal like Horvat Erickson 6th OA a prospect or two and a 3rd rounder for Bobby Ryan and 1st OA.
Of course money would be retained on Erickson, and would piss off the Ottawa fans a ton, but would be a huge salary dump for Ott.
