100% would have just kept Gudbranson if that's what the return was. Unless of course, he wanted to be dealt to continue playing this year.

It’s gotta be a $$ thing. Part of being a pro I guess. If not for salary I would have kept him for that return

So we got trolled pretty hard by this "too good to pass" offers for Gudbranson

Who is responsible?

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)?

I heard Dorion turned down a 2nd from Montreal because he didn't want to trade with a rival in the same division

Tough luck, isn't his wife a dentist? Must be tough to move especially with the new kid.

But then again that's the business and at the end of the day he's a millionaire with a beautiful family

I know what assuming gets you, but I'd bet PD asked Gudbranson if he wanted to be traded. Especially with the new baby thing.

I might not be a huge PD the GM fan, but he seems like a decent enough guy.

Maybe the player asked for a trade if possible and PD is doing him a solid... GUD probably trying to get a 2-3 year plus deal and he’s been sitting a bit.

It's got to be tough to be traded in a pandemic and having to clear quarantine with a baby and a wife who just gave birth (OTOH he has nothing else to do now but help his wife with the baby!). Given the return we got, I think we might as well have kept him.

So who is Brandon Fortunato?
He's 24 and has played 9 games in the AHL (University hockey before that). He has zero points in the AHL. He plays D from what I can gather (not a lot of info available) and weighs 170 lbs.

Yeah I think the same happened with Boro last year in regards to being traded with a new baby, except EG probably knows that a good playoff showing could lead to a nice little extension. As others have mentioned he and his family can probably be vaccinated immediately in the US and and no quarantine required.

Also, everyone seems to have nothing but good things to say about Nashville and the organization.

Good luck!

It was a bidding war of #7 draft picks and contract dumps.

If anything, Dorion would be the one adding a second pick in the deal.

You think the Senators are the only team with fans that express displeasure?

The Land of Angry Fans is any place with any team, pro or otherwise - go watch a minor hockey/baseball/soccer/football, etc... game some time and let me know if you don't find an angry fan or 2 even there.

We got two pieces, and I don't think there's a major difference in the likelihood of getting a player with a 7th versus a 5th, for example. Hopefully some of this stuff pans out for us.

2023 though! Damn. That's not soon.

Wait, is Gudbranson the best pro, or Coburn?

It’s like training camp ... both Arti and White were great ... but not really... move on. What do you want him to do ?? Slag them?
There is nothing wrong with a GM complimenting players on their way out.
