You'd think after a dozen or so trade deadlines HFBoards would have servers that could handle major moves like a Gudbranson trade.

Perfect cap to the Sens trade deadline.
Would have liked to see Tierney and J. Brown go as well, but we managed to get rid of most of the dead weight. Good stuff.

Looks like Dorion got had by paying a 5th for this guy. Could see this coming a mile away the day the deal was made.
Fortunato seems like a pure contract throw-in.

Gudbranson seems like a helluva nice guy. I wish he had been better at hockey. Not a bad day by PD.

Nice to see Dorian clean up the mess that Dorian left him.
Never change, HF.
Not sure what the point of this trade is. Maybe a 7th is worth more in a pandemic draft.

So you're telling me that the pandemic is going to last until the 2023 draft?!?! Well shit, this deadline day sucks NOW.

Makes room for JBD and let's Gudbranson chase a cup. The 7th isn't a big deal though I thought we'd get more for him then Coburn...

Maybe GUD wants a chance to play and earn a contract for the next few years. His family can go with him, they will have a vaccine by the end of the week if they want it.

We did. Don't forget the incomparable Brandon Fortunato.
I guess Garrioch was right about the "significant" interest in Gudbranson. Seems like it was a really intense bidding war.

It's crazy how hard Dorion grinds just to get something so inconsequential. Not sure if that's good or bad.
So I guess that was the best of the multiple offers for Gud that GMPD couldn't pass them up (per Bobby Mac via someone posting earlier today)?
Not part of the old boys club. And not the GM of a powerful team. And not a former nhl superstar

To be fair the market likely plummeted. Benn for a 6th, Gustavsson for a 7th. There wasn't many top 96 picks moved.

Unloading bad defensemen for any sort of return is a positive.
I'm hoping he played for DJ in junior and he tends to lob terrible giveaways to the opposing point men from the corner.

It's possible that many of the offers were contingent upon the Senators eating salary which they simply will not do. It's not a surprise that Dorion sent him to one of the few teams that could take his full ticket without retention.
Or maybe it was just PR Dorion trying to drum up a market.
Gudbranson is a good guy, from the area, and just had a kid. It’s a tough call for sure, and I probably would have just kept him if this was the return.
For sure, I just found it curious we apparently had offers we couldn't refuse - seems he could have refused this one pretty easy.

Likely did have better offer earlier in the day but buyers were probably waiting to see if the market broke down.
