I really doubt the sens think that they're in a position to take that step, no matter how appealing Andersen's low salary is.

Even if it wasn't a 1st they'd have to pay something of high value to acquire him, the Leafs aren't giving him away for free, and that just doesn't seem like a good use of assets for them. It both depletes their futures and if Andersen goes on one of his tears next season it could hurt their draft pick position which is really all they should care about right now.

The sens are buying out Bobby Ryan. On the one hand this must be tough for Ryan after working so hard to get back into the game and winning the Masterton Trophy. On the other hand though it gives him a chance to potentially play on a more competitive team. I don't know where his game is at right now but there sure will be a lot of people rooting for him.

This also means the sens are likely losing 3 guys their fanbase have really rallied around the past few years in Borowiecki, Anderson, and of course Ryan.

"wanting to open up a roster spot for younger players" lol come on just admit that they're broke.

If he's willing to sign a cheap one year deal, could be an interesting value bet.

Yup on the cheap he'd be worth a chance. He's going to get more then minimum I thinkbustaheims said:

If you're not going to worry about being anywhere near the cap, why wouldn't you cut a guy to save millions of dollars if he doesn't really fit into your long or short term plans? Especially if you're also left with the problem of the highest paid player on your team being a marginal 3rd liner.
Melnyk's money troubles or not, this seems like kind of a no-brainer for a rebuilding team.

They'll still be paying him over $11mil (albeit over 4 years now) to not play for them.

I guess it depends on how Ottawa plans on reaching the cap floor. They might not actually be "saving" any money really since they still need to spend to the cap floor minus whatever LTIR contracts they can pick up (and those seem to be dwindling so I'm not sure how many they can acquire).
