Ek was all over this one.

Seriously, nice trade for both sides. Ottawa gets a real nice player. I would have liked the Cat on on the Devils but given his size, I wasn't sure we could go with an all smurfs line up

There are some folks who were deeply invested in a Dorion fail.

Will they be disappointed.

Sens get debrincat!

Now I got to wonder if PD was playing chess all along instead of checkers. Maybe he used the threat of a Murray deal for the 7th overall as a way to get Chicago to get off the pot? Like he knew Murray had Sabres on no trade list?

Maybe?

Formenton isn't a top 6 but he's got bigger issues to deal with this summer anyways. There was a reason PD had nothing to say about Formenton's contract negotiations yesterday when PD commented on every other player that was an RFA or UFA.

I would have preferred a big body. Sens need to challenge for a playoff spot and need to find the Dman upgrade that will make them a tough out every night.

So happy!

Enjoy him for 2 years. He is an RFA next summer, then a UFA the following the summer. His RFA 1 year offer sheet will be in the 9 million dollar neighbourhood.

Not the guy I wanted, but not a disaster either. Still have to:

- Sign DeBrincat
- Move Zaitsev
- Bring in Top 4 D

It's alot harder to find a free agent defencemen than a forward. I really wish they used the 7th to shore up the D.

Who comes off the number 1 PP Unit this coming season?

Batherson, Norris, Stutzle or Tkachuk?

so rather than make a top 5 worst trade in the NHL, he makes a realy bad trade for 2 years of a 5 foot 7inch guy....

Top 4 D is going to be very tough....there are way more top 6 forward options.

Its a great move short term, for 2 years....because he ain't getting signed by Ottawa for 9-10M in 2 years.

What's to stop them from flipping him again for picks and players, after he goes for 50+ this yr... which I think he will easily with the Sens.

surprised to hear some commentators say that Ottawa should still be all in for Giroux. Top 4 Dman is more important
BINGO!

I would have rather Ottawa signed a UFA for top 6 forward and used the package from today plus anything else for top 4 D.

This is a great deal and shows a willingness to compete this year. Really pleased with the value. 40 goal scorers do not grow on trees and only turns 25 in December. And right hand shot which has the Gord_Wilson2.0 seal of approval.

Props to Dorion on this one...and Murray for not wanting to go to Buffalo.
