* 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

- 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

- 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?
- 5th round pick for Mike Condon : was it a good move? he was on waivers a bit before and we ended up overpaying him



Let me know if you have any suggestions!

I’d put Brady’s extension above any of these but I voted Ceci for Brown + Zaitsev. Brown has been a great addition and even Zaitsev was a decent stop gap, although his contract is a tad too long.

Lazar trade I guess? I think we've covered the good moves tbh, which is pretty sad

I edited the options if you want to change

That Dzingel trade was a work of art. Could have been up there with the Yashin trade. Too bad he messed it up by not qualifying Duclair.

I'll say Duchene just because Lassi is looking good so far

I think Dorion's best moves remaining have to be been putting Trent Mann in charge of the draft and hiring Troy Mann to coach in Belleville.

Yeah I thought before it was great that Dorion brought Trent Mann in the organization until I looked it up and it was actually Bryan Murray who did. And then by rebound, Troy also joined later. But thanks for not losing them I guess.

Trading a PPG+ #1 center and ending up with Lassi is not a win whatsoever, even if Duchene was a rental.

Well, Murray didn't sign Trent Mann specifically to bring in his brother...

I said he put him in charge of the draft not that he hired him. He did hire Troy.

Slim pickings. Only one actual 'good' move left.

I was talking about what I thought initially. I knew what you meant

That took mastermind Dorion!

That was one of the few times in his career that Duchene was ppg. We had other assets, that Dorion ruined, but a 1st rounder for an aging player who's been a lower end #1C, who needs a new contract was fine considering the term
