To Florida
Zach Hyman(2.75 million retained)
Jamie Drysdale
Dante Fabro
To Ottawa
Chris Kreider
Adam Fox
Jacob Macdonald
Ondrej Pavel (p)
Jeremy Hanzel (p)
Now this was not something I thought I'd do, in moving Hyman but Jay offered Kreider who wants to resign for 4 years compared to Hyman who will test the market. In the deal I really wanted Fox and his high DF at only 26. I was willing to move Drysdale as I don't think he will get as high a DF as Fox, plus the DI problem wasn't helping in the case of Drysdale. Plus we have a few defenseman on the farm team who will be ready next year to make the pro squad. Macdonald will fill the hole on the 3rd line plus the 2 prospects, one who already made his NHL debut this year and the other is leading the WHL in points for a defenseman. Again this deal keeps Ottawa competitive for years ahead. We wish Jay and Hyman best of luck for the Atlantic division supremacy.
