Detroit approached us looking to deal. We have cap  space to offer and take on a bad contract or two. This deal hopefully accelerates our team's rebuilding process a little. Our trade partner clears a nice amount of cap to resign some of his players as well.

Thanks for the friendly negotiations. :toast:

having looked at both rosters a lot in the past couple of days, looks like :OTT: has enough space to add the extra salary.

if :DET-NHL: wasn't up against the cap ceiling with a bunch of players to resign, this deal would be a clear win for the Sens, but as ottawa is eating a big salary in bruno gervais ... looks fairly balanced.

nice deal for both teams. :thumbsup:
