Great. Thanks for establishing that, for the 5th time...
The rumours I heard, was that the VGK wanted a 1st round pick to NOT pick Methot in the expansion draft.
Are you conflating the two situations?
Listening to him on 1200.
He can not continue as gm here.
He is saying things about players and staff that he should keep to himself or at least word much differently. Imo
* The poster you are trying to reach has no interest in a discussion with you at this time.
It's everything together. Have to listen to it all. And everything he's said before. It will increasingly bother players and staff under him if he continues speaking.What did he say?
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).
https://www.tsn.ca/radio/ottawa-1200/dorion-if-boucher-is-back-things-will-need-to-change-1.1054834Did he actually say there was a rule? I don't remember hearing that.
Interesting... apparently the team got an email from the league saying they can't discuss a future contract on Karlsson with the media.
After he said he would take a Russian player if he was BPA, he explained that they haven't drafted a russian in a long time, and that there's "always exceptions to the rule." I chalk it up to him being a bit of a nervous speaker more than there being an actual rule .
"I think when Bryan Murray hired his chief scout, I don't think we've drafted one Russian since. But there can be exceptions to the rule and, moving forward, we'll draft whomever is the best player."

While listening, try to imagine any other NHL gm speaking like this.
"Dorion is a poor communicator!!!!", the pot screamed blindly at the kettle.
Yes it is marcotte he is speaking ofTerry Marcotte's tweet, the first tweet that brought up the inclusion of Ryan is my guess. I think i have more connections than Marcotte lol.
What did he say?
Who are our buyout candidates?
Gaborik
Condon
Burrows
Ryan
Ryan doesn't really save us any money because of the signing bonuses being buyout proof, so I think he'd be a major long shot.
I think with Gaborik, we're just better off waiting another season before deciding to buy him out. Maybe he ends up getting hurt, and insurance covers him 80 percent, or maybe the guy even gets bored of our stuffy government town and decides to eventually walk away from the few million he has left and retire with nearly 100 million earned and a super model wife.
Condon and Burrows make the most sense to me because while their buyouts don't really save us any real cash due to 1/3rd of their salary being very close to the cost of a replacement player, they are break even type buyouts. Burrows bought out+Gagne in his place for 1 year costs about the same as keeping Burrows, but the bonus is we develop a younger player instead of him.
With Condon, buying him out opens us up an average of about 900k a season for us to use on a replacement backup goalie. So at that point, we're not saving money, but if we can find a backup for around 1M who will outplay Condon, we're breaking even.
re: the "exception to the rule" thing, I watched the presser on video. Dorion basically said since he has been head scout there, they haven't drafted a single Russian, but there are no organizational issues against it. They would definitely take a Russian if he's BPA. He did add there are always exceptions to the rule, but I think he didn't mean it like it is normally said. I chalk it up to poor choice of words.
So, I was on Capfriendly and discovered something today;
Buying out Anderson's contract doesn't affect the cap hit because he signed the deal at 35+, so if we were to buy him out, it's 1.5 mil a year for 4 years, but a cap hit of 4.75 for the first 2 years, and zero for year 3 and 4.
I think we bank on Anderson rebounding this coming year, rather than buying him out, but like I said, I learned something new.
On the topic of goalies, I'd explore sending our guys to guys (and goalie coach) to net360. Apparently that's where Dubnyk went right before rekindling his career. It's also where Hellebuyck went this past offseason.
