I'd take Ott, so long as he does not come with a NTC and signs short term.
Then he is an easy dump at any trade deadline to a contender.
Del Zotto in, Franson traded for pick(s)/prospects...Vokoun in, Reimer traded for pick(s)/prospects...done and done.

Why MDZ? we already have more talented puck movers in Rielly and Gardiner, and this guy makes Gardiner look like a shut down d-man.

Now he's on to ORielly to Leafs.

yeah, the good old offer sheet

I would explore it at least. Does 2.5 for 2 get it done? I agree though. Probwwon't be cheap une.

if he's cheap...he'd be the 7th dman anyway.

Steve Ott is over rated! 2nd worst +/- in the league last year. Worst than Ovi even. Everyone seems to remember him from his days in Dallas. Those days are LONG gone.

Really hope we get Ott. Hearing its almost done from my sources. 5 years 25 million full NTC

If we spend 2.5ish on a guy, I want us to target Spurgeon.
Plays 2nd pairing for Minny, but would easily step onto the first line for us.

I don't know how much screen time he gets in the East, but I've had a chance to watch lots of him and he is fantastic... and still only 24.

Offer Franson ++, get 'er done

Yup.
