It's obvious Boucher is coming back. Dorion is telling him what to do in the press conference lol.

Apparently Sens have discussed with more than one player that they could be bought out before the start of next year. Not sure if this has been discussed before, but could be good news to let some of our younger guys play (apparently also a focus of PD).

I really dont care for Dorion's "presence"
The only time he seems remotely comfortable is when hes talking about scouting.

 

[Cat Herder]

has discussed with Stones group about a contract this week

Idk why he wouldn't just wait until they've made a decision to have a presser about this.
Boucher probably coming back then

Interesting... apparently the team got an email from the league saying they can't discuss a future contract on Karlsson with the media.

Lol. I'm sure the league (and fans) wouldn't complain if they had just ensured that we'd sign him or that we'd give our best effort and left it at that.
They need to shut their big f***ing mouths

 

[Wondercarrot]

boy, sounds like they really 'challenged' the shit out of Hoffman....lol

I get that perspective, but I think I can understand the league's position, too. Negotations theoretically aren't supposed to start until July 1, but announcing how many years and how many dollars will be thrown at him falls dangerously close to that. Nothing wrong with making general statements, but the specifics – which, unfortunately, seem to be the potential sticking point – are what everyone wants to know.

We tried to re-acquire Methot from Vegas but "couldn't match what they got... what Dallas offered."

What Dallas offered we couldn't match

Dallas acquired the 32-year-old Methot from the Vegas Golden Knights on Monday for goaltending prospect Dylan Ferguson (2017 7th round pick 194 overall) and a 2020 second-round pick.

We couldn't trade Jordan Hollet and a 2nd in 2020?
I guess when you give up 2nd round picks for money, then maybe you can't afford to do that.

 

[Wondercarrot]

Dorion is an absolutely awful communicator.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I think there is a tournament preceding the wc

 

[Icelevel]

"Chaplik"

Can't stand it when he mispronounces his own players names. Fourth or fifth player he has done this with.

 

[Micklebot]

We tried to re-acquire Methot from Vegas but "couldn't match what they got... what Dallas offered."

So... you mean the price for Ottawa to reacquire him after the expansion draft wasn't a 1st round pick + as some suggested and LV wasn't refusing to deal with us out of spite? We just didn't want to give up the equivalent of a 2nd round pick and a recently drafted 7th rounder? I'm shocked.

 

[Sun God Nika]

Someone finally had the balls to ask dorion if he would draft a Russian. He said yes and he would make an exception to the rule if a Russian is the best player available this year.


..... why the f*** is there a rule?

wth... there's a rule and they've now admitted it? Hold your cards a little closer to your chest Dorion... I know we all like transparency, but in this case a simple, yes, we'll draft the best player available would have been fine.

Did he actually say there was a rule? I don't remember hearing that.

 

[DrakeAndJosh]

Kinda sounds like they're waiting to see what coaches become available more than they are spending the next two months evaluating.
