With apologies to our counterpart in Nashville for the delay, Ottawa management is pleased to announce a major trade with the Predators one that we hope will change the present course of our on-ice performance immediately.

Logan Couture, $5.8m (2013-2017)
Ryan Ellis, $3.0m (2015-2018)
Dylan DeMelo, $0.3m (2015-2017)
Traded to NSH
Lauri Korpikoski, $0.9m (2015-2017)

As Burke stated, a "Monster Deal!" Ottawa likes this trade as it brings in two impressive players who we feel have underperformed thus far this season in Couture and Ellis. The first and 4th Round Draft picks are also of great value to our organization.
