Dorion is the best at getting completely worked over in trades

He cleared $6M of cap space, this year and next, without giving up his 1st. Not bad.

I'm not saying he's the sole reason for defensive struggles. Just that I think he was vastly overvalued when AP was there to shoulder the heaviest minutes. He's a good 3/4 defenseman when he has a decent partner, but he's not a top-pair anchor.

He’s played 2nd line most of the year except when paired with Faulk at odd times

Cost in the league for doing this is tied to salaries. So, for example, Minnesota taking on 3 months of a 1/4 of ROR salary = a 4th round. That is 1.8 million for 1/4 of season. Extend that onward....Zaitsev is 6.5 million over the next season and 1/4. Definitely worth a 2nd and 4th given market value.

And I think the Sens got off cheap getting rid of Murray for a 3rd and 7th. Just look at him now in Toronto - hurt, headcase, frustrating, can lose 2 games for every game he steals. Everything he was in Ottawa. Go riddance to bad rubbish. The draft picks are the cost.

It's 4.5 million not 6 million, he's poking fun at Eklund for not checking any of his work.

Dorion got worked. It cost the Leafs Connor Brown to unload like five years of Zaitsev’s deal, and they got a 3rd rounder back! Brown was a 3rd liner that the Leafs had no use for

Now Dorion, running a NON PLAYOFF team, is paying arguably more than that to unload a single year of Zaitsev’s deal

Opposing GMs must be giddy with excitement when they see his number pop up on their phone, lol
