Yeah I honestly believe thebplayoffs we’re their goal. And I think if we’re close to the playoffs next year you’ll see this “plan” scraped and dorion will be a buyer at the deadline.This is the only way that their decision to hold onto Stone/Duchesne for so long and to trade Karlsson/Hoffman for in large part current NHL players makes any sense. In their fantasy world they thought that dispatching Karlsson and Hoffman and a bounce back season from others would land them in, or near, a playoff spot. Despite fielding the worst NHL defence corps I can remember and all stats/logic pointing otherwise/being one of the worst teams last season with a better roster.
They are completely incompetent.
You don't believe him, yet put up no opposing argument.Still not buying it.
Duchene should have been dealt last year when it was obvious the team was spiralling. But no, deal Karlsson and "fix" the room. Just ****ing stupid. If the intent was to rebuild in February last year then last year was the time to fully embrace a scorched earth model - take back contracts to improve returns, go all in with Stone and make him captain, and embrace a couple of bad years. But this ****ing clown Melnyk and his ****ing puppet Dorion know more than everyone else...and here we are. The exodus of stars continues with underwhelming returns, the new arena deal is on life-support at best, and this jackass of a GM is asking fans to be patient. Cannot wait to see how this works out.
Sorry if I sounded was sarcastic toward your comment. I intended to reinforce your observation about Dorion being delusional.
I do recall the list of veterans.
Luckily I was about to fill up my car and had stopped driving when I heard him speak.
You're right that I'm arguing for the sake of it at this point, and I agree about bondratime and his knowledge. I suspect we won this trade or at least got fair value. Some people are shitting on the deal without knowing thing 1 about these prospects, which irks me. That's just their default position these days for all things sens. It wasn't even bondra. Time will tell how it all plays out. I have no idea about these new guys and how they'll stack up.You don't believe him, yet put up no opposing argument.
Bonrda knows what he is talking about. If you can believe somebody on prospects .. He is a good bet around here. I think you are arguing for the sake of it ; but feel free to make an opposing argument that has some basis in experience .. I will listen
Watch Abramov tonight ... have to wait and see how these guys do.. If they can take another step .. continue to develop and carve out roles in Ottawa.. I think overall people are upset at watching their team be dismantled.You're right that I'm arguing for the sake of it at this point, and I agree about bondratime and his knowledge.

Because I don't want to see Boro starring in them.Why not?
so, if Colorado gets Hughes with our first that we gave away for Dushene, we can't really look at that ?....I can...Can't really do that, they're independent trades. We didn't trade Tarasenko and a second for Turris, we traded Rundblad.

Lol. Just saw that too.Duchene just scored his first as a Blue Jacket...from Atkinson and Panarin
Lol. Just saw that too.
I would have taken Wennberg and the 1st to be honest, yeah he has a ****ty contract, but he can play in the NHL and has done well in the past. Ah well.
Like a certain “top 4” dman?I don't think they would trade Wennberg for a rental. They will probably try to swap him for a similarly-struggling player who could turn it around

If i say we will get good players, someone responds with no we won't and how will we keep them or some other subject.. We're in the process of tearing it down and you want me to answer stuff about who,how,why and when our young players re-sign when I don't really see the point right now.And there’s your plan folks.
Meanwhile we keep getting disappointed by the results of waiting until the last minute to figure things out.
Have you ever read the definition of insanity by chance?
So Where does Stone go?
I am sure Dorion has at least a 1st , Petan, Stanley in his back pocket... I would say get serious.. There has to be a good deal to be had for Stone. I just want one young bonafide top 6 forward or top 4 D prospect/young player in the return. I would guess Roslovic is probably as close as we will get from Winnipeg
THere is an element of luck there though. Both those teams were fortunate to be bad enough to get first overall picks when key franchise players were available. And other high picks when there were studs in the top five. Especially with the lottery . . . Ottawa desperately needs to get a couple blue chip sure fire stud players from their first rounders next year and next. And hopefully take their later first round, and later round picks and steal some players.
If they don't . . . well they'll be a team full of middle 6 forwards, 2nd pair defensemen and no studs at the high end.
Nashville to play 2C cause Turris isn't up for the jobNashville to play with Turris
