Didnt realize he’s a righty, guess we wont be seeing much more of mitchell getting manhandled till some D get traded. Maybe Murphy, prolly McCabe, but hopefully both.

So how bad is Zaitsev? Could he be flipped for anything next year with retention?

That's currently pick #42 for 2023 where Ottawa stands bow...

If Kd Can add more mid 2nds we can bundle some 2nds to move back up to mid 1st to late teens to get a target covet in too 20 for this draft..

He's probably the worst player on the Sens, which is a bad team.

Of course they deploy him in top 4 minutes.

So as a bottom pairing D-man, that could alleviate some pressure and make things easier on him.

But he'll be 32 years old at next year's deadline. Even with retention that's 2.25M to add a bottom pairing defenseman? Playoff teams can find cheaper bodies.

I wouldn't expect to get anything for him.

That's not just any 2nd round pick, but an early one. Top 50.

Mike Doneghey is gonna cook.
I agree 10000000% Top 50 pick to take on a warm body isn't a bad deal MD has shown that he can find talent and has a plan. I'll take this all day long. Plus we need RHD next year who can play and a contract to get to the floor. Good deal.

This has Moelgaard, Willander, But, Peddle, Bjarnason, Whalberg written all over it
