Low value for the Sens. They must have felt it was best to act now and not see how things played out.
Yep,its no secret that he may not be liked ....But the fact still remains ,why would we move him first???If EK is on another team what does it matter what happens with the locker room,we are going to be garbage anyhow

Because Dorion is a complete moron who thought he got a good deal.
This also sets the pretext to tell the fans that they did everything to keep Karlsson but he didn't want to stay while secretly low-balling him.

No I'm actually Doug Wilson and knew he was going to Florida all along.
Look ,you could be right...But I choose to try and take the high road here,to me nothing is done with players that make millions of dollars that can help the owner make millions of dollars....Moving Hoffman for a player that makes less money and some low round picks doesnt make sense..
Unless there is more to it....EK has said all along he want to stay in Ottawa,what if what he said is the truth??

I'll take the high road when this organization and lunatic owner does.
I haven't seen any reason to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Melnyk wouldn't accept Draisaitl's 8.5 million, or it was a done deal straight across.
Sure there are, but this isn't the poster child for a stupid trade. There were extenuating circumstances that made Dorion have to trade Hoffman. Using this to justify awful trade proposals on this site is just troll-like behavior, but what a surprise, it is coming from the fanbase that offers the worst trades.

Trying to get Garth(unaware that he’s been fired) on the phone to start a Draisatl for Nick Leddy trade.

I know they had to get rid of him but they had all summer to do so. To hit the panic button and give him away is incredibly foolish.

Snipers are a dying bread in the NHL
Bergevin can give them a run for their money and he's actually trying to succeed
I'm posting this before reading the thread (which I will do), so I don't know if someone has posted something similar.
Eugene must be ecstatic: a $4M cap hit for $3M in real money ? Life is good !

What a brilliant move by Doug Wilson and once again Ottawa looks like an amateur organization. Didn't want to move him within the division for a better return, happens anyways. Surely you could've signed a player for 4 million as good or better than Boedker is in UFA and just taken the picks for Hoffman. Dorion is flat out not a good GM.
Outside of the better return a few reasons the Sens should have been willing to trade in the division.
- I doubt any team will be keeping Ottawa out of the playoffs in the near future because I don't think they'd be making it anyway
- They need to restock the system with all the Pick they traded away
- Chance Hoffman blows up another locker room.
- Increased ticket sales versus a division rival as I'm sure fans will want to give Hoffman an earful
