I guess know what to expect with Chabot next summer!

21 million in bonuses over the next 12 months lmao

Nice seeing ya Thomas

I don’t hate the acquisitions, but people who do need to realize that Hainsey, Ennis, DeMelo, Boro are all likely gone by the deadline. One of Pageau/Tierney likely is too. I think Brown stays. The kids will play. Just buys a bit more time.

Boro will never leave. He's the team mascot now.

Slam dunk PR work.

Sounds like a good reason to sell the team!

So, the next owner will just pay every RFA and UFA 80%+ of their yearly salary as a signing bonus? We'll eventually get to a point where 70% of our yearly salary expenditure will be paid on July 1st. And the new owner will be cool with that? Along with shelling out hundreds of millions to build a new arena and relocate the team? Along with spending millions more per year on better coaching, management, player development personnel, etc.? And millions more per year to get competitive with the upper limit of the cap which might touch $90 million in a few years, if not sooner?

It's not realistic. And it's definitely going to be a major point of contention. Imagine your boss at work had to start paying all of his employees signing bonuses that accounted for 70%+ of their yearly salary? How long do you think that arrangement would last before your boss shut down his business?

It’s become embarrassing to be a Sens fan, what a laughingstock they have become since Dorion took over. Guy gets 0 respect around the league

It’s a tank year. I’m worried that dorion actually thinks these guys are goo. He didn’t just go get crap players. He got crap players that the Coach specifically recommended. Which means one of them has convinced the other that they’re good

Or maybe they know they are serviceable stop gap players who will not get in the way of the tank and will hopefully have some value come trade deadline time.

Pretty good chance both Pageau and Tierney are gone at the deadline or draft next year unless Chabot is dealt.

We have about 23 million committed to only 5 players: Zaitsev, Ryan, Smith, Nilsson and Tkachuk for the following year. Dunno what the budget will look like but I assume it'll be under 70M. So there's maybe 47M to sign 5/6s of the top 6, 3/4 top 4D, a goalie and 4 bottom 6 guys to play with Ryan and Smith.

If they trade Chabot, you might be able to keep around the likes of Tierney and Pageau as 3rd liners with 3-4M salaries bit if we want to realistically keep Chabot and Tkachuk, they're probably too expensive to keep.

How high of a signing bonus does a team need to put in their offer sheet to Chabot next summer before Melnyk balks and takes the picks? $4mil?

 

[Qward]

Two weeks ago we were talking about how we didnt want Dorion to do anything. Get some one year players that will try to prove their worth so we can flip them at the deadline.
Thats what he did. Now people are upset?

Dorion did something right for once. We are in a rebuild. Get assets for the next draft.

Yeah, Dorion better get Chabot locked up this summer so that doesn’t happen next summer. It should be his number one priority, it’ll also show the other young players they will get paid if they perform. Who know if Melnyk will give him the resources to do that though.

I think Chabot will just wait it out until July. All he has to do is look at Aho’s bonus structure and see what other teams can offer.

I agree we should be getting assets for the next draft. But I doubt if any of the one year players he picked up is gonna be worth much more than the 3rd he gave up in the Ceci trade

I have bad news. Nikita Zaitsev is signed for the next 5 years. He is our 2nd highest paid player and has the longest contract of any player in the organization.

I agree that it'll be nice to have Hainsey, Ennis, and Brown to flip at the deadline, but IMO the Zaitsev trade is just such a negative that its impossible to just gloss over. That is an unbelievably horrible trade for us that is going to haunt us for years and we helped the Leafs improve in the process.

I’m ok with his moves today. I get the frustration though that it’s our rivals we are helping out and the 3rd round pick as a toss in is just another budget move.

Well his last number 1 priorities were

Sign Karlsson
Sign Stone

So...

Ya for sure... those guys did have a bit more leverage but I know what you’re saying.

Doubt Lou wants Anderson he’s smarter then that.

Not sure how Dorion still has a job
