Confirmed with Link: Chris DiDomenico signs with Sens | Cleared

[Engineer]

My first instinct was this has to do with the expansion draft. If he is on a 1 way contract, not 2 way, this will make him an active roster player which can be exposed at the expansion draft. I am assuming "NHL" players have to be exposed and if a player of his calibre, which is a lower league than Pyatt was playing , I think, is exposed it satisfies the requirements of the expansion draft.

What do you guys think?

He needs 40 NHL GP to meet the 2 forward exposure requirements.

 

[DanyHeatley]

This guy will be hungry no doubt. 28yrs old, 0 NHL games, imagine how excited he is right now. Hopefully he brings some drive and energy to this team. Also, Swiss league top scorer = NHL bottom 6 forward? It's a low risk move.

Missing Executive


Pierre Dorion, long-time executive employee of the Ottawa Senators and recently appointed GM, has was reported missing on February 27th, 2017. Dorion is described to be a heavy-set, balding, white male in his 40's, and is known to be carrying several cellular telephones.

Dorion was last seen the evening of February 26th, standing outside Madison Square Garden with a battered, dirty, hockey bag, asking passing executives if they could "spare a winger?" Sources confirmed that Dorion had recently placed a sleazy ad on a internet message board offering to trade "dirty draft picks" for "quality NHL players".

Dorion had been described as despondent earlier in the week when a longtime pursuit of an established player went sideways.

If you have seen Dorion, you are asked to contact the Ottawa Police Service at ....

The fleecing calls finally got to him and he broke.... Is Lazar in the hockey bag?

Both Hoffman and DiDo had 5 points that game. DiDo had a primary assist on all 4 of Hoffman's goals.

I just imagined some homeless man with a dirty coffee cup with a few dimes in it, then tried to imagine the equivalent for begging for NHLers.

 

[Liver King]

this has to be an AHL guy no? like, we cant possibly be looking to the Swiss league two days before deadline to get an NHL player lmao

I just hope that 48 hrs from now we won't all be rehashing this huge acquisition because there won't be anything else to talk about...

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

So do we guess this guy is better than Varone or Varone is better than him?

My guess is Varone is better

Better prepare yourself.

This is going to be it.

He has to clear as well so there is that slight annoyance

Hopefully someone picks him up so that Dorion actually has something to do come Wednesday.

My guess is Varone is better

I'll guess similar. But he'll probably fit in the bottom 6 better and be a little more versatile. more size too?
obviously boucher is thinking he's better than varone so probably true.

Boyle to TO. Just happened.

Not sure whether you will like or hate the guy. Not a very good skater but I'm more worried about his size. That said, his compete level is second to none. In fact, he's totally crazy. A total pest and in fact even pretty dirty. One of the best players in Switzerland, but zero discipline. He does it all. Trash talk, diving but also vicious slashing, slew foots and just everything dirty. Opponents will hate him, that's for sure. Not sure if he'll make it, but he at least has amazing hands and is a decent faceoff option. Boucher probably hat a chat with him about discipline already...but if he manages to stick around, expect a few phonecalls with players safety

They don't have to do anything to steal our thunder

 

[tony d]

Seems like a decent pick up. Could make a good 4th liner.

 

[operasen]

With Burrows, where does he play? Or does he go straight to Binghamton with NHL money?

No roster limit after the deadline. Probably gonna stick around and eventually get a chance after clearing waiver.

 

[Proust*]

Now this move looks brilliant. Slot DiDomenico in with Burrows and watch the NHL submit.

 

[HonestSenator]

Dorion has moved past bargain shopping and gone straigh to collecting bottles.

Lol great post.

 

[ChicagoRocks]

That was the Swiss b league he led in scoring

I beg to differ. If you check his stats he was top scorer for three years with the SCL Tigers. First year in the NLB and two years in the NLA.
