Dorian out as Senators GM

[Night Train]

Funny in the sense that Detroit and Ottawa were making all these big moves this past off-season and the season before. Many were wondering why the Sabres weren't doing the same ? Then both those teams finsihed behond the Sabres in the standings.

Paper champs. " But,but,but.."

I don’t watch “as the puck turns” soap opera often enough….

Soooo correct me here ….

 

Ottawa was gonna trade dadonov to Vegas in 2021? They didn’t tell Vegas about his NTC?  And then ….. 

And what’s up with Anaheim in all this? 
 

The little bit I’m reading here, I’m just not putting the entire start to finish picture together. It’s segmented and hazy.

Thanks.

Pissed off owner, somebody had to take the fall. I'd say his resume is mixed, but there were a couple big mistakes so it's a reasonable decision. 

Chiarelli would be a mistake imo but he also might have learned from his past errors, you never know. Will be interesting to see which direction they take.

Ottawa traded Dadonov in 2020 I believe.

VGK tried to trade him to alleviate their cap in 2021 at the deadline by trading him to Anaheim for Ryan Kesler’s LTIR contract. The trade actually all but went through until Dadonov butted in and stated his NTC had Anaheim on it. Vegas claimed to have never received notice of this and thus fought the denial but failed. They then threw the blame to Ottawa for not sending the paperwork during their original trade the year prior. They must of legitimately found negligence on Ottawa’s part and VGK and Anaheim get to feel vindicated

Sounds like the NHL failed to disclose some material facts. 

Yes, but it's okay for the NHL to not disclose material facts in order to maximize a sale value... whereas apparently it is not okay for the team they were investigating to have withheld material facts in order to maximize a deal they were working.

Does the NHL give up a first round draft pick?  Does Ottawa mysteriously win the #1 overall pick this year? The owner ain't happy.. and he shouldn't be.

So let me get this straight The NHL punishes Ottawa for a trade but the Blackhawks get nothing.

Makes sense 

The Blackhawks were lucky enough to land Bedard after tanking on purpose. They don’t deserve $hit!

His goaltending attempts are the opposite style of Adams but haven’t exactly worked any better.

Acquired Matt Murray only to need to dump his contract.

Traded a younger RFA goalie who had looked good for 1 year of Cam Talbot

Signed a questionable Korpisalo to a long and high cap deal

 

Most signings have been solid outside goalies; locking up good young players as well as solid vets. The whole thing with Pinto is a mess however.
