Hoffman needed to be moved, and the entire league knew it.

I know, but why not look for draft picks instead?

What were they asking from Florida? Frikin' Barkov?

Ottawa is awesome


SO AWESOME!!



I think this is worse than any time or thing the leafs have done the past 20 years.




Awesome.

Now hold on....



Let's see if he even get's the bag for the pucks in return for Karlsson.

Dubas' turn now;

1) Sign Tavares
2) Trade Gardiner, #25 and rights to JvR for Jacob Trouba
3) Trade Brown for Brett Pesce

Boedker's contract is not good. This is hilarious

- Fakepartofme

it's usually the other way around

Didn't April Reimer start an anti-bullying org? Maybe Hoffman should fly the GF to San Jose and "forget" to tell her that it was just the connecting flight.

It's even weirder:

Melinda Currey, who married Senators captain Erik Karlsson on Saturday, is a business consultant based in Ottawa.

She is listed as the chief marketing officer at Wellington Creative on her LinkedIn page.

After attending Hillcrest High School, Currey graduated from Carleton University with a degree in communications.

Among other philanthropic endeavours, Currey is “starting an anti-bullying charity called Can’t Dim My Light, which will emphasize cyber-bullying,” says a blog penned by Nicholle Anderson, the wife of Karlsson’s teammate, goalie Craig Anderson.

Ottawa was interested in making a trade involving players with Florida, according to Dale Tallon. He never offered the package of picks to the #sens that he ended up sending to San Jose.


Pretty sure Sends should be looking for picks....WTF....
- Fruitcakenipple

should be, but they're not.

re-tool and playoff run. this is the team that was 1 goal from teh SC final a year ago

I doubt Dorian was in a position to demand anything, he just needed someone to say 'Done, fax it to the league.'

If I'm reading that right, he wants to trade Karlsson for Doughty?

Doughty > Karlsson. What else would Ottawa be giving up? And does Doughty have a no trade clause? 'Cause there's noway he'd want anything to do with that tire fire.
- GreatGigInTheSky

He does not.

Hearing he wanted players and not picks.

Doug Wilson turned Mikkel Boedker into a 2019 2nd, 2018 4th&5th round picks.. On top of that, saves the team $4M in cap space..
- PatC80

That is amazing....

So this is all a PR stunt by Big anti-bullying!

He's probably trying to salvage his own job at this point by trying to ice a somewhat competit.....ya I can't even

Wanting something and actually getting it are two different things. Both the Sens and Hoffman are damaged goods.

I struggle to find something worse.

I mean nobody liked Rask for Raycroft, but there were extenuating circumstances and they basically kept the wrong young goalie.

Kessel for 2 1sts and a second was a bad trade but nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be.

We'll never know if Fletcher really meant to trade for Jeff Finger. I am not sure he knows.

Those were just bad trades. This is just constant embarrassment at all levels of the organization. It would be difficult to predict a worse series of events.

Ya, Draft Smaft!

Ottawa and Montreal!

Going to be lots of easy points this year for the leafs in these 'great historic rivalries'...

Honestly, its too bad, but we may never see the Leafs and Habs meet in the playoffs...

He does not.
- Atomic Wedgie

Not literally, but if he isn't willing to re-sign with Ottawa before such a trade, or shortly after, that's pretty much a no-trade clause.

So for the Sharks, all of this was about creating cap space and getting some draft picks. Now they can add over the coming weeks

Well played..
- Fruitcakenipple

Ya that's actually pretty brilliant. Good on them.

That is amazing....
- Hockey_Reverend

I'm sure Dubas could have pulled it off as well. Too bad, we don't have any 'journeymen' wingers on bad contracts to trade.

Tallon didnt offer the picks package to dorion.

You're going to be bitterly disappointed.
- walshyleafsfan

I doubt it

He does..he has been on sports radio in Ottawa for a long time..was on the same 1200 station before TSN bought it several years ago.

he is the biggest sens homer and leafs hater around. He has some pretty cringe worthy takes for sure.
- senstroll

Simmer is dumber. He's a Caps and Leafs double hater though. Mostly because he was an incompetent buffoon and now plays the "monkey" on the radio.
