To Philadelphia
Bryan Rust TB 3rd 2024
To Ottawa
Alexander Ovechkin (3 million retained) Ilya Nikolayev
We are very aware of the risk in losing Ovy to retirement but the chance to better ourselves at the wing for this year in getting a sniper like Ovy at only 4 million is a risk worth taking, especially with 3.5 million being retained totaled. Nikolayev at only 22 is having a great season on the farm with 60 points and already at 70SC. He will be a great addition on my already good farm team and for the futur. Thanks to Gary for the great talks as always.

Accept. We've been eyeing Rust for a while and just couldn't ever materialize a trade for him until now. Unfortunately Ovechkin's been ice cold ever since we acquired him and and we're in win now mode so we need all of our players to be firing at a top rate. Rust has the ability to put the puck in the net and that's exactly what we need right now. He's willing to re-sign for a reasonable amount and with Ovy possibly retiring this year we felt the need to secure an asset. Losing Nikolayev hurts big time as he was a pleasant bright spot on the farm this season but the goal is the stanley cup this year so sacrifices had to be made.
Thanks for the great talks Mike. Cheers!
