Ottawa management announce a trade with San Jose.

C, Jordan Nolan, $0.4m (2012-2014)
D, Niklas Kronwall, $5.7m (2012-2016)
Ottawa management make this trade to acquire a veteran pivot with a track record of filling the score sheet. Richards has a reasonable cap hit. We are moving a large contract in Kronwall so we included Gaudreau to balance the trade.
San Jose to confirm.
