I kinda get it from LA's position - they're trying to beef up their blue line for a run at the last wildcard spot, and they really don't give up much, as Gaborik has really struggled this season and Shore is basically a 3rd line depth type (and Thompson pretty much replaces him). I don't get it from Ottawa's perspective, other than the fact they save some money in terms of real dollars (around $4M in total). In terms of talent/team building, it's an odd choice for them, as there's barely any cap savings (other than potential LTIR, as Gaborik is Gaborik) and they don't really improve for the future.
More money for seat tarps! I usually enjoy razing them but now I?m afraid to because they might be heading towards folding.Bates said:Saravelli says $5.5 million in cash savings for the Sens.

Heroic Shrimp said:It's kind of neat that the Senators lost Marc Methot to Vegas because Phaneuf wouldn't waive his no-movement clause in the summer, and then Ottawa later had to retain Phaneuf salary and take on Gaborik's contract to get rid of him, while Phaneuf gets to leave the sinking ship.
This pleases me.
