Andru = Ottawa GM
I'll give you Campbell + 2011 1st Round Pick for LW Nick Foligno
IMO
Hawks get cap relief over the next 5 seasons and a good sized scrappy left winger (28th pick overall). I'd use ~$4 mil to go after a player like Ian White or Joni Pitkanen in FA to replace campbell so we'd lose campbell and a mid to late 1st round pick for foligno, white/pitkanen, and $2 mil to help re-sign crawford.
Ottawa gets its 3rd 2011 1st round pick to go with the #6 overall pick and Nashville's 2011 1st Round pick. They also get a top tier dman paired with Gochar, Kuba or Phillips.
Ottawa would be at $49.3 mil with 15 players signed through 2011.... leaving them $12.6 to upgrade (and I mean upgrade) the final 6 roster spots.
Thoughts? How far off am I?
I'd like to make the deal, but considering the cap constraints it would put on the Sens, I'd need a little more incentive. Campbell is a nice player, but Erik Karlsson still needs to be signed (along with other RFAs) and he'll command upwards of 3.5 million and is a better, younger offensive option than Campbell that can play in the top 4 next season. That'll put us right up against the cap.
If the Hawks are willing to give us Campbell, a 1st rounder and maybe Dylan Olsen or Kyle Beach for Foligno, and possibly a 3rd round pick, I'd take the deal. Of course for the Hawks, it would have to hinge on them getting a deal done with Foligno who is an RFA.
