BOS: Erikson
OTT: Cowen, 2016 3rd, Nick Paul

Let's face it, Bruins won't be able to resign Erikson. Taking a chance on Cowen can have a low risk high reward outcome. He is only signed for one more year so it's a cap relief either way if he doesn't pan out in Boston. On the other hand, the Bruins have Chara, arguably one of the best shutdown Dman in the NHL.

At this point in his career, Cowan would just be a throw in. of course right now, he's got nowhere to go but up. I like Nick Paul, but I think it would take more than that to get Eriksson from Boston.

Bruins have enough 5/ 6 guys in their lineup now. They can get a better return for Eriksson than Cowen. And I live in Ottawa so I've seen Cowen play a lot. He's in the tinordi realm of struggling to make it. And his cap hit doesn't help.

Considering the fact that Erikson is on his last year, I think Paul, Cowen, 3rd (this is the correct order. ) Is a bit much. If ottawa would deal all those separately they'd get a better value than a perhaps rental Erikson.
