Really interesting because it opens up Ottawa to target a replacement defenseman for him. I wonder if this would be a precursor to something like a Parayko to Ottawa trade.

About time

Epic

So Ottawa is clearing cap.

Gearing up for a reunion with EK65

Pretty odd unless something else is coming to give Chicago that for one year of Zaitsev next year.

 

[Seattle King]

Poor Future Considerations, traded again, cant even get his name spelled right.

What was the buyout like ? Jeesh

 

[KevinRedkey]

About the cost I expected this entire time. Lot of people are going to be eating crow on this one.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Yo, you want Chris f***ing Wideman back ?

Having to eat that extra year increased the cost I guess. Obviously Ottawa has something else in the pipeline though. Or they just wanted to get rid of Zaitsev before other teams tried to dump their bad contracts and the price goes up even further.
