It is a one-sided deal, but it essential was a salary dump. Washington needed to clear salary and Ottawa was able to pick up a few solid players for their pro roster.
Edit: Also, I was notified by Washington before I passed the deal that he understood what he was getting back/sending away.

I was fully aware of the deal.
To me, It was mainly Neuvirth/Bouchard/Was 1st Year 3 for Phillips.
Hannan/Chimera were salary dumps and the 2.5 mill was to help in finances for Ott.
Ott knew that I needed this salary dump and was ok to take it on for me in the deal.

I pretty much saw things exactly as how the Capitals just mentioned aswell! Also if a team is going to "win" a trade its not going to effect the league to much if its Ottawa  |
