4. Trade Mark Borowiecki to Calgary for a 5th round pick
Borowiecki is an alright third pairing defenseman, but he is a part of the problem. If the team can get rid of him and replace him with someone more competent than it will improve the team greatly. The Flames seem like a good fit for him, and I think they will go all in on “toughness” this summer after it seemed to work this season.
Of course a lot of their belief is most likely misguided, but that means Ottawa could exploit them for that. I doubt anyone would want Borowiecki, even with a cheap AAV of 1.1 million.
