Good trade for the Sens, the caps freed is way important than the 2023 2nd round pick.

Would of been cool to get Murphy, can’t wait to see if it’s link with another trade!

He deserves a medal of valour for his time here. Zaitsev was very helpful in bearing the burden of the tough assignments during the rebuild. He wore that jacket with pride.

I hope Z finds new energy in Chicago and ends up playing to his full potential. He could still be a very good D for a number of years.

Nothing but the best for Nikita.

What's our record with Zaitsev in the lineup this season anyways?

 

[Gil Gunderson]

It was going to happen at some point from now until the offseason. I doubt it leads to anything significant before the deadline.

 

[Senscore]

That stings but probably worth doing

 

[thinkwild]

Spending picks to dump a contract. Hope we need the cap space cause a new dman is coming.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Bit cheaper than I thought it would take to dump.

Sens adding another player soon?

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Now for Dorion to do something stupid...

Sens adding another player soon?

Church rumours:

2D is better than 3D

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Very, very good

Having to give up a 2nd is unfortunate but keeping Zaitsev would have been worse

36D even better.

Exactly this. I'll be annoyed if we end up with a below average replacement plug.

 

[WORLDSTARHIPHOP]

Glad to be rid of his contract, but no complaints about the player.

 

[Xspyrit]

It's kinda saddening that we are celebrating when we piss away picks to repair some of Dorion mistakes

a 2nd + 3rd + 4th + 7th to get rid of 75% Murray and Zaitsev ???

Hooray!


But seriously, why do it now and not next summer? Could have cost less no?

The opportunity to make the trade was there, and I would make that trade 200 times out of 100.

This is a good move.

Question: what exactly does it mean “for future considerations “? Can anyone explain that please?

I’ll owe you one pal.

Usually an exchange of later round picks during the draft.

Wink wink nudge nudge effectively nothing.

 

[Sting]

So in a year where we miss the playoffs we don't have a 2nd or a 3rd. If the rumors are true re parayko or weegar we could realistically be missing our first 3 picks. As a non playoff team.

So basically nothing. Just a way to avoid saying “he sucks, we just wanted to give him away”.

Dorion didn't give him that contract. We got Brown with Zaitsev. We also just traded Brown for.... a 2nd round pick.

We Basically got many years use of Connor Brown for free.

Shrewd asset management by Dorion.
