Ottawa management announce a trade with the Winnipeg Jets.
Going to
Zack Smith, $3.5m (2014-2015)
Steve Oleksy, $0.4m (2013-2014)
LW - Johan Larsson (2010: 2/56 - 0 Games)
Clear $4.1 Million in cap space.
To
Joe Pavelski, $4.0m (2013-2014)
Brian Campbell, $4.0m (2014-2015)
Ottawa makes this deal to add a couple of high quality layers that can produce points consistently. The key for us is the acquisition of Little Joe.
Perhaps the toughest part of this trade for us is parting with Larssen who's a great prospect and Oleksy who showed lots of promise late last year.
We also know Jets are happy to clear $4.1 Million in cap to get some breathing room for future deals.
Jets to confirm!
