There's always a flip side.  Dj wanted him and the Senators wanted this exact player.  We shouldn't  really bemoan that our coach specifically asked for the player and we acquired him.

It's the fact that it's a low impact player for a 4th rounder that grinds my gears personally.

Dorion sucks at trading sometimes and it's scary.

Dorion picks up the phone and calls Zito: "I really want Josh Brown and i'm not paying a penny more than a 5th rounder".
Zito: "no. a 4rth."
Dorion: "ok". (imbecile Dung-eating grin draws itself on his face and hangs up)
Zito: looks around the room to his staff "Did that really just happen?"

So Dorion is going to shove a bunch of guys into positions they don't belong in and we will finish close to the bottom of the standings again.

Chabot-Zaitsev
Reilly-Zub
Brann-Brown
Extra: Wolanin

Maybe they're interested in Dumba. I am sure as hell not.
that's what Dorion is thinking.

Interesting. So are you saying we have a very good chance at drafting by default one of the many elite Dmen available in the 2021 draft? Are you saying we won’t need to reach for a lesser Dman in the 2020 draft with the surplus of elite forwards available to us? Interesting strategy Cotton.

I wonder if GM’s look ahead?

Kinda hyperbolic. The value of a 4th is not much different than a last round pick. Not the best trade but whatever.

He better be careful the next couple of days. This is the definition of a defining moment.

Here's my shot, probably way off.

Raanta, Stepan retained, good prospect for Nilsson plus 28?

i can't see them getting rid of Raanta when they plan on dealing Kumper.
plus i don't care to get Stepan. he's on the wrong side of 30 and doesn't fit into this org's long term plan.
pass.

That's why you'd be getting a good prospect. 1 year of Stepan + reasonable goalie + good prospect and they get a 1st.*

Matt Murray to the Sens for a later 2nd and Jon Gruden.

Sure. It'll be interesting to see the contract they give Murray as he's RFA.

Yeah, the contract will be interesting, but you would think they would have arranged it...

Apparently he might sign a 3 year deal. Would be a good bridge for our young goalies even if he didn't sign afterwards

Really? Pretty exciting time for him. Coming to one of the most up and coming teams in the league with a real chance to win another Cup in a couple of years. I wouldn't be too upset if I was him.

Any idea if this Jarventie guy is any good? Seems off the board given the talent that's still there.
