Seems like Dorion is really going for it. Exciting time to be a Sens fan, especially if they land Giroux as rumored.

 

[Foppberg]

Holy f*** Ottawa.

 

[SENStastic]

Sens about to get Christmas in July. Go Dorion GOOO!

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

I don't mean to sound morbid but how much did Melnyk hold Dorion back? Guy has been pretty good this offseason.

We aren't trading Weegar unless there is a top 4 LD on his way here.

Sens offer Chabot

Elite defensemen Nikita Zaitsev and Erik Brännström will be part of the package.

Weegar would be exactly what Ottawa needs, he's great except when he thinks he's Bobby Orr. Not sure what the fit is from Florida's perspective though unless they simply want cap space + picks/prospects.

Weegar - Ottawa boy, wants to go home, lives in the city in the offseason
Giroux - Ottawa boy, wants to go home, lives in the city in the offseason

Dorion has been set free!

If Dorion gets giroux and Weegar, this will officially be the summer of Dorion

I honestly have no idea what Ottawa would even give that Florida would want. A 1st rd pick that they can flip?

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Nothing more I love as a Wings fan is our already way too stacked division getting harder to play against.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I honestly have no idea what Ottawa would even give that Florida would want. A 1st rd pick that they can flip?

The idea of a giving up a non-lottery protected 1st rounder in 2023 scares me.

Zadorov?

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Ottawa making serious noise in the past few days, good for them!!

 

[Dr Danglefest]

I was gonna say how does OTT have the cap space for all these guys…then I realized it was OTT I was talking about…of course they have the cap space

I mean they'd trade away any player that needed a raise, it was pretty ridiculous. Look at the contracts he signed too, pretty much all backloaded.


We'll see how it works out, but this Summer pretty much confirms that Dorion had to work around pretty hefty limitations up till this off season.

 

[Fatass]

Weegar would be the perfect partner for Chabot.

Weegar would be the perfect partner for Chabot.

Are you sure? Maybe Sanderson instead

 

[Liver King]

is drift a good thing?

 

[TotalHomer]

Zadorov?

Worse player, bigger cap hit and older. Doesn't seem very enticing for Florida.

 

[Der Jaeger]

is drift a good thing?

Only if it’s from Tokyo

Likely something like Brannstroms rights, a roster player and a future 2nd.

Yeah, for sure. I just don't want to take shots a dead guy for bad karma but you can tell an internal cap and Dorion was against it.
