Confirmed with Link: Del Zotto waived

[Do Make Say Think]

Man I legit feel sad when I see people make fun of the ad. I get it, it is awkward but that ad was such an honest effort to pump up fans.

God being a Sens fan can be rough haha.

 

[Hale The Villain]

I'd fire Dorion but unfortunately I doubt a different GM does much better when having no money to play with and a skeleton crew for staff.

When the current GM has proven that he's the worst at his job in the entire league, any alternative is likely to be an improvement.

You don't need a big pro-scouting staff to not make the massive mistakes that Dorion has made.

 

[BondraTime]

You can also add in the fact that they just traded away Kole Sherwood and terminated the contract of Pontus Aberg. That makes 3 one way NHL contracts (Dadanov, Murray and Del Zotto) and 2 two way contracts (Sherwood and Aberg) that they signed in the last two years that they have now traded, attempted to bury or terminated.

Sherwood and Aberg were nothing signings, team always makes AHL signings and move on from them every year. AHL signings don't matter much, especially when they have guys like Lucchino and Aggozino playing their part.

Not trying to make fun of the ad but this little part right there is the Sens organization in a vacuum

 

[Alf Silfversson]

What a joke. Let's remember that this was our biggest free agent signing this offseason. Also that he was kept in the opening day lineup at the expense of Brannstrom who was, in camp and last year, clearly the better player.

Worst management I've ever witnessed.

And why the shit did they give a two year term???? Stranger than fiction.

 

[StoicSensFan]

Without meaning to sound rude or anything here, that's loser talk. Maybe it doesn't get better, but it can't get worse right? Just throw some other shit at the wall and see if it sticks.

It is a team effort, on and off the ice.

We could have the greatest GM of all time but he'd still struggle with having to do everything himself because the owner won't spend and most competent people know better than taking an offer that is a set up to fail.

 

[BondraTime]

For a team that needs every penny, that's 8.5 million a season right there in Murray and MDZ.

That's a star 1st line player.

Do we not see where the problem lies?

Absolute clown shoes that nothing is done when there are examples after examples after examples every year.

Completely clean house with management and pro scouting, start over anew.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me 10 times, I'm probably in the wrong line of work.

It would be one thing if most people never predicted it, like the Dadonov signing. It made sense and many thought it would be good. Never worked out, sucks, but it happens.

But everyone could see this was a gigantic mistake from the moment it was announced.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Love how people say that we can’t afford this star player because he makes too much (Eichel) and at the same time we have almost $10M tied up on waivers and AHL.

I definitely agree but players don't want to come here so even if we had that 8.5 available, we'd probably have no legit star player to spend it on.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

I'm all in favour. I just don't think changing the GM will achieve much.
That's fair. I feel sort of the same way I used to about Gerber and Emery. Maybe the other options weren't great, but if the guys you have can't get it done and you know this unequivocally, I'd prefer the devil I don't know.
I'd do it but I wouldn't expect our luck to turn is all.

Lol, why the hell not.

Drama and drafting have been about the only reason to pay attention to the Senators for 4 or 5 years now, so why not spice it up with the drama that Maguire being in the GM seat would bring.

 

[BondraTime]

I definitely agree but players don't want to come here so even if we had that 8.5 available, we'd probably have no legit star player to spend it on.

So keep it in our pocket. If I have 50 bucks to spend I'd rather have it in my pocket than throw it into the ocean.

 

[otown]

Money for nothing! This is a team in dire straits!

We are mandated to spend to the floor

Hahahaha

Which $8.5m star would we be bringing in?

Yeah that’s the tough part.
Brannstrom came in a clearly outplayed del zotto it wasn’t even close

 

[BondraTime]

Hahahaha

Would still be 2 million over without MDZ and Murray.

That's the sad part. That's 29 million dollars that could have been used to make the team better, that is currently on waivers or in the AHl.

 

[swiftwin]

This.

That 8.5 will be useful when it comes time to sign our young players after their ELC is up.

 

[BondraTime]

Which $8.5m star would we be bringing in?

Don't bring anyone in and save the 8.5 million, sound better?

Trade for Fiala and sign him to a 5 x 6.25 million dollar deal, that's only an additional 2 million what we were paying Murray and MDZ.

There are lots of ways to find quality players to spend money on. Every team does it.

I didn't realize you were so concerned about Melnyk's wallet.

Luckily Gene, is okay waiving people this year.

 

[HSF]

oh we are still playing this game?

Eichel

Next someone is going to tell me Eichel didn't want to come here

 

[BondraTime]

I didn't realize you were so concerned about Melnyk's wallet.

I'm not, I'm concerned with our awful GM wasting our little money on waiver trash

 

[swiftwin]

Eichel

Next someone is going to tell me Eichel didn't want to come here

Didn't realize he was a UFA.

 

[OccidentalSoothsayer]

Nothing to see here folks all part of Dorion's master plan. You guys make such a big deal out of nothing. Just give Dorion a few more chances he will be GM of the year!
