Pénzügyi szempontból két jó dolog történt Phaneuf és Karlsson apropóján:

PHANEUF

Ottawa also agreed to retain 25 per cent of Phaneuf’s salary as part of the deal. Consequently, the Senators were paying part of an expensive salary for a player no longer on their roster. Phaneuf’s cost to the Senators was $500,000 in 2017-18, $1.625 million in 2018-19, $1.625 million in 2019-20, and $1.375 million in 2020-21.

There are salary implications for the Senators in the aftermath of the Kings decision to buy-out Phaneuf. As a result, the Sens get to pay Phaneuf less money over a longer term. The costs include $729,167 in 2019-20, $1.354 million in 2020-21, and $354,167 in both 2021-22 and 2022-23. The total savings for Ottawa is approximately $708,000.

KARLSSON

Errpl pedig már ugye volt szó:

As soon as Karlsson’s massive eight-year, $92 million extension with the Sharks was announced, the Senators automatically acquired an additional asset: a 2021 second-round pick. This happened because of a condition embedded by Ottawa in the original trade. The condition reads,

“Should the Sharks sign Karlsson to a contract extension, Ottawa receives San Jose’s second-round selection in 2021, which would upgrade to a first-round selection (not lottery protected) if San Jose reaches the Stanley Cup Final in 2019”.
