Ottawa opens bidding on this player

aug16-12:  added team icon

Ottawa announces a trade with jackdaniels's Devils.

We approached the Devils and a few other teams about moving young prospect defensemen Scandella and Wiercioch as we were looking to make room for newly acquired free agent defenseman Adam McQuaid. Devils were the only team to reply and we quickly expanded the deal to address team needs on both sides.

The keys to this trade are Timonen, Wedgewood leaving Ottawa and Stalberg, Nikitin moved by Jersey. 

Dealt to New Jersey
Defense Kimmo Timonen, $6.3m (2012-2013)
Defense Patrick Wiercioch, $0.8m (2013-2014)
Defense Marco Scandella, $0.9m (2013-2014)
Goalie Andrew Raycroft, $1.5m (2013-2014)
Goalie Scott Wedgewood, $0.2m (2013-2014)

Coming to Ottawa
Left Wing Viktor Stalberg, $2.2m (2013-2014)
Defense Nikita Nikitin, $0.2m (2012-2013)
Goalie Curtis McElhinney, $1.5m (2013-2014)

My Sens gain some roster space by making this trade while Jersey adds some players and cap to reach the floor. The Devils are in rebuilding mode while my Sens are looking to contend this season.

Good negotiations JD! Devils to confirm.

That's right, that's what I said "Trade Cherry!"

Ottawa is pleased to announce a trade with new GM. Senators send red hot scoring prospect

C - Mika Zibanejad (2011: 1/6 - 9 Games)

In return for, Islanders send over a defenseman due to receive a sizable raise starting in 2012-13

Niklas Kronwall, $3.0m (2011-2012) - Expires 8/4/2012 23 or 21  ext 5.7 / 4yrs

We like Kronwall's potential upside with Lidstrom's retirement and understand the injury risk with him and the new big cap hit we'll take on. Even though there was the possibility of added Nick via Free agency we wanted to ensure Nick joined our team for the upcoming season.

Parting with Zibby is tough as he'll be a force when he joins the parent club in a top 6 role, but we see the addition of Nick as a way to speed up our rebuilding process.

Thanks for the excellent trade negotiations Snugerud!
