LOL but why?

 

[JJTT]

Whew

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

They kinda have to get a stopgap top 4 RD now don't they? Unless Larsson can swap sides

2021 5th

 

[Langdon Alger]

Why not just sign Luke Schenn in free agency?

5 years too late, always thought he would be a good addition to the Sens in the past. After all, Dorion (and Murray before him) loves the local guys.

LOL but why?

Anaheim shedding salary. Ottawa needing cap hit. He'll protect some of their younger guys, and likely be a valuable piece at the deadline.

 

[hamzarocks]

Wasnt gudbranson a good player in the ducks? The ducks lack RHD depth besides Manson thought they'd wanna keep gudbranson for the year to be a vet mentor to their young LHD

 

[McDonald19]

I guess with this trade and Kesler to LTIR the Ducks have some cap space to go shopping tomorrow.

Ottawa is going to pay 3 M dollar (real dollars) for a top 6 D. If they wanted to hit the cap floor, I think Russell would have been a better fit.

Dumb

 

[ClydeLee]

For a guy people have occasionally been saying, no now he's good for that team... he seems to keep getting moved off from those teams.

 

[Kocur Dill]

I feel like Ottawa did them a favor.

Why the 5th? ‍

 

[Static]

He was solid for Anaheim.

 

[CupInSIX]

Weird how Ottawa pays 3m in salary for a right shot that basically does the same (maybe worse) things as Borowiecki. If they wanted a tough RD so bad they could sign Engelland.

Lots of young guys on the ?Sens. Gudbranson can police things.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

f***ing terrible for Ottawa.

Gudbranson is a fine player to have on your bottom pair. Nowhere near as bad as this site thinks he is.

Yeah, I just want someone to take Russell off the Oilers. Russell has the same cap hit as Gud but makes 1.5 M this year

 

[GKJ]

So, Dorion takes on Gudbranson, with $3M in cash to pay him, but he was worried Duclair would get too much in arbitration?

 

[bumperkisser]

Liked guds while.in Anaheim. Bit sad to see him go.

But will take the welcome cap space for tomorrow!

Erik Gudbranson is one those guys I’m surprised is still in the league let alone teams actually trading for him.
