Similar deal to the Phaneuf trade a few years ago.
To Ott
Price
To Mon
Ryan
Gaborik
Anderson
Perron
Ott 2nd 19
*Perron and Ott 2nd are for Montreal to pay for Prices 13m signing bonus before the trade is made
The reason Ottawa does this- Ott needs to show Karlson, Duchene, Hoffman and the fans that they want to compete or I think they will all leave in the next couple of years. This deals save Ottawa Millions short term and will allow them to resign everyone.
The reason Montreal does this- They need to go full rebuild a la Maple leafs and I can't think of too many teams that would take that contract(Vancouver maybe). They can also afford all these contracts from the sens and have the financial backing to spend that money.
