* Ottawa traded up using the Panthers 2nd round pick and the Penguins 3rd round pick (swapped with Ottawa's 3rd in the Brassard trade)


Of course all of this is with the benefit of hindsight, we are starting to look at the end results of these moves


Some moves to add later

- Dzingel for Paquette + Galchenyuk : good trade to repair 2 mistakes
- Victor Mete (22 y/o) claimed on waivers
- 5th round pick for Mike Reilly then traded for a 3rd round pick
- 4th round pick round pick for Austin Watson
- 4th round pick for Namestnikov then flipped for a 4th round pick
- Phaneuf + Thompson for Gaborik (contract dump)
- Hiring Boucher coaching staff

- Brady Tkachuk extension (7 years x 8.2) : was it a good move?
- Artem Zub extension (2 years x 2.5) : was it a good move?
- Zack Smith (31 y/o) for Artem Anisimov (31 y/o) : was it a good move?
- Logan Brown + 4th round pick for Zach Sanford : was it a good move?
- 5th round pick for Mike Condon : was it a good move? he was on waivers like the week before and we ended up overpaying him

This is a hilarious list. Half of these are just moves he made to fix his own mistakes.

Scraping the bottom of the barrel here, I guess selling Pager was a good return.

Agreed. The Brassard one above only partially makes up for trading away Zibenajad who could have been our star #1 center.

We're reaching the point of "which move was the most tepid?".

Agreeing to take on Coburn and Paquette for a 2nd was very good asset management for a change and would have got my vote, but it resulted in losing Balcers on waivers, so I'm not sure what the net gain was there.

Dumping Dadonov and actually getting something in return gets my vote. No idea what Vegas was thinking on that one.

Lol at you guys bumping this thread on the day Murray clears waivers. Well done!

I voted Pageau but I honestly don’t think we should have traded him to begin with. Oh well, I’ll take Ridly Greig and Kleven!

That's the problem with Dorion, does something good one day then completely screws it up the next day. The Balcers waivers loss to NOT waive Paquette is just ridiculous

Dumping Dadonov and actually getting something in return gets my vote. No idea what Vegas was thinking on that one.

Not a really good move in the optics but Vegas is loaded so they don't care much about Dadonov's salary. 5.0 AAV though so they are banking on some kind of rebound from him. Currently has 9 pts in 21 GP.

They didn't need Holden anymore and a 3rd is not a big deal. From our side, a very good deal. Problem though is we didn't really invest the money saved. It was just used for Tkachuk/Batherson raises

It wasn't a bump! I created the 7th poll today
