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.

It's like speaking in hyperboles all the time, nothing you say has any meaning any more. If after every single meal i say it's the best meal i've ever had, is the food even good?

If all PD can say is "they're the best pro I've ever met" for every single player he trades, why bother saying anything? Just say it was a hockey decision at that point. It's like if I met you and said you're the nicest guy I've ever met, and while you're standing there, another person comes up to us and then I tell them they're the nicest person I ever met. You'd probably wonder 'wtf?' and think I'm full of shit.

Now if I said the second guy was the funniest person I'd ever met, you'd probably think I was overly positive but so be it.

Saying one guy is the best pro he'd ever met and then within 1h saying a different guy is actually the best pro ever makes PD look ridiculous, not complimenting.

Geez ...who cares .. the guy isn’t a great communicator in English. These guys aren’t going to feed you the shame quotes about players you seems to be looking for. I can’t figure out what magical meaning you think your posts have ? You want your GM to give honest player evals on players as they leave ? Sorry ...

If that’s what you want look elsewhere. You’ve prob been at a wedding, birthday, or work party where someone went out of their way to say something nice about you too. It is what it is.

The only magical meaning my posts have are to draw ire from you apparently, not sure why you're getting bent out of shape that I'm pointing out a pattern.

"Poor communication" is probably how we sent a 2nd for Stepan. PD meant to say a 5th but he exagerated because English.

Dang, Dorion can't even say something nice about the guy on his way out without people here complaining about it. Really digging for dirt on this one, huh?

Dorion did everything I wanted him to, but this made me the happiest. Now hopefully the Preds re-sign him so we don't have Gudbranson coming back here as a hometown guy

I really wanted this to work out better for Gudbranson. Big net clearing right handed D, veteran presence, stood up for his teammates, local guy, I know he had some mobility issues but still I liked what he brought.

Well, Gudbranson was big, a vet and a local guy. But he was not the answer to the Senator's defensive woes.

Right after his wife giving birth he has to quaratine and join a team that might not even make the playoffs and has little to no chance of winning a cup while leaving his hometown that he was so happy to play for.

Ouch.

No place for sentiment when you're trying to take a team out of the basement.

I know, I know...it's just the shittyness of it.

And traded for nothing too.

Buuuuuuut Nashville is apparently very nice, they will all get vaccinated immediately, and the team is apparently a very good organization to play for. He has a young family that can all come with him and not quarantine, and he’s undoubtably trying to play for a new deal.

It’s a shame in a lot of ways, but a pretty sweet opportunity in many others.

A trade to Buffalo, now THAT would have been a tear jerker.... Now that I think about it, PD should trade JB there lol

I still think it's kind of weird that Nashville picked up two of our defencemen in two years.

And that after picking up Turris.

I suspect that Poile and Dorion get along, but Dorion is like "Doug Wilsoning" him a bit.
