Confirmed with Link: Hoffman traded to San Jose

[Cat Herder]

And there is this (it improves our GAA )

 

[dumbdick]

Yep. That's a garbage return. Bad job Dorion.

 

[Micklebot]

I totally agree.

Just find it funny that people were talking about his diminished value as some sort of media conspiracy against the Sens.

His value on the market is as low as peoples respect for Dorion imo. It seems clear to me other GMs don't have a lot of respect for him, they knew he'd panic and bent him over. You can live with this if Karlsson re-signs, but that still seems far from a sure thing.

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

Even with the allegations we shouldn't be the ones giving up the better player AND the better draft pick

Fundamentally, I guess I agree... but we're talking about a 4th and a 5th here. They're both dart throws at best.

 

[Micklebot]

So, we go from paying Hoffman 5.650 to Boedker 3 mil.

Lean and mean, baby!

 

[Cat Herder]

Sorry I was just informed Boedker is a Dane

 

[SensEnforcer]

Is Dorian the worst gm at making trades we have ever had?
Rather Bury him in the minors...

 

[Burrowsaurus]

The two non roster players traded

Begman (a Swede ) was a regular in the AHL
Cody Donaghy (Canadian) was in the ECHL

so it looks like we got the better player in that aspect

was the difference so great we gave them the far superior player and the better pcik

People talking about how boedker scored so many goals against us... do we even have west scouts? i bet those are the only games we watched him

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

I expected nothing and yet I'm still massively disappointed.

 

[OgieO]

Does EVERY trade have to involve us throwing in a f***ing draft pick? I know it's basically meaningless that late in the draft but was the swap of draft picks really going to hold up that deal?? No, PD got bent over again. All GM's know it, he can be had. For the love of god please just draft and develop and stop trying to make trades.

 

[TheNewEra]

So... Why didn't we trade Hoffman at the deadline?

 

[Sensinitis]

Hopefully a step towards re-signing EK.

Always liked Boedker, though Hoff is obviously better. Bad value but meh it was expected...

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Fundamentally, I guess I agree... but we're talking about a 4th and a 5th here. They're both dart throws at best.

True but at least with a better draft pick it can soften the blow of a terrible trade especially given the mental fragility of the fanbase right now

 

[dumbdick]

The pick swap is fairly irrelevant. Picks that late are almost equal value.

 

[Peptic Balcers]

wooooooofff that is ungood

 

[BatherSeason]

So, we go from paying Hoffman 5.650 to Boedker 3 mil.

I am sure this was a motivating factor for sure. Need to save money to resign our superstar defenceman Cody Ceci.

Anyone think Dorion will actually come out of his bunker to discuss the trade or will he stay in hiding?

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Well I was hoping we could have at least cleared a good chunk of cash...

 

[Flamingo]

Was Dorion so desperate to get a trade that he settled for less?

Hoffman should've brought in more than this...

Yes, I would say Dorion is probably feeling a little desperate these days.

 

[Shruggs Peterson]

Poor poor return. Points to the sheer desperation to get Hoffman off-loaded in order to save whatever slim chance there is left to get EK to stay...

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Fundamentally, I guess I agree... but we're talking about a 4th and a 5th here. They're both dart throws at best.

again.. do you not see how we do this WITH EVEYRTHING.. and look where are team is.. these things build up and build up...

not to mention we gave up the better player... this trade honestly LOOKS like the Sens think boedker is reaaalllyy good

 

[justafan22]

Other than the locker room, this is why they traded him:

 

[BUCKLE UP]

Good job Dorion. 60pt player for a cap dump and a downgrade on picks.

 

[dumbdick]

Dorion has to go. Too many bad moves. Gotta think we could have gotten better value than this.

 

[Nosswor]

Wow.
