Not to sound over critical, but unless Gaborik is retiring , he needs to be flipped for some assets, it would be unacceptable to see the likes of Karlson , Hoffman, Brassard ,Ceci leave but not Gaborik.... - Alexzanki
Gaborik has negative value. the only way you move him is trading for another bad contract/player or add something of value to get rid of him |

We all know this deal was made for one reason, money.
This is for Eugene to scrape a little profit from this dumpster fire season. I wouldn’t be surprised if more moves like this are coming. |

In the long run this makes his team worse so how much money does it actually save?
The Kings got a 2nd pairing d man who plays all season and the Sens got a player who plays 55 games a season scoring 12 goals or lower. For 1 million less in cap hit this makes the Sens much worse.(after the 25% retained) |

And.. what else is coming for a player that unless he just wants to be a big fish in a small pond is gone! |

Would LA do that though, then they'd have to use a protection spot on Phaneuf.
They likely thought last year wasn't an anomaly, and they could use Phaneuf to make a push in the playoffs. |

I think Melnyk is going more short term dollars saved. Who knows what the Jester of Barbados is thinking. |

So, now we just need to retain some salary to get Ryan out the door.
What's the over under on how much that would take. |

What a terrible trade.
Sens Lose and LA Gains.....
Dion - A guy who is a very solid 2nd line D, brings leadership, mentor-ship, is great in the community, fits in with the team well.... The only bad thing about having him is his contract.
Thompson - a good 3rd-4th line guy who comes up with a few timely goals and is responsible in both ends of the rink and can be relied on.
LA Lose and Sens Gain.....
Gaborik - A washed up guy who is just as overpaid as Dion, can't skate anymore and from all passed teams brings no leadership.
Shore - a 4th line C who should be in the AHL
The trade is bad enough as is, but adding in that we retain 25% of Dion. PD better have something good coming, better not trade Duchene, Hoffman, Karlsson, Chabot or Stone.
He should be fired |

I'd imagine they buy out Gaborik and use the cap space to pay Karlsson all the money in the world. |

Then why wouldn't they buy out Dion, especially with the 25% retained.
They talked on the team 1200 today that they think they'll pair Gaborik with Fast skaters like Hoffman and Duchene or maybe even a White. Hope that energizes him a bit. Get him some goals to build at least a bit of value and then flip him out in a summer trade. |

At least that's an asset with value where they'd get something back. |

That's a pretty big hope considering Boucher's system is even more rigid than Sutter's was. |
