habsolutely a good young core

don't think Dvorak works at all for the Sens. he'd be 4th on the centre depth chart, and even with retention, it's a bit much cap-wise and trade-wise to pay for a guy who'd effectively become a 3rd line winger for the team. I don't dislike the player, and a team that needs a middle 6 centre might bite, but I don't think the fit is there for Ottawa.

Los Angeles has 14 forwards on the roster right now under contract for 2023-2024, plus 4 RFAs (two of whom are Gabe Vilardi and Rasmus Kupari), plus prospects like Alex Turcotte and Sam Fa-gem-o who will get long and serious looks in training camp, so the Kings would have absolutely no interest in Joel Armia even if he came with 50% retention and your 2023 third-round draft pick in exchange for Future Considerations. Are you unaware that despite his $3.4 million cap hit, he's owed $8.6 million for the last two seasons of his contract?

dvorak wont be moved unless we get dubois... he is too valuable to us as a defensive center who wins draws.....maybe if Beck is ready but we will not sign other free agents.. Evans is one of the best fourth line centers in the league
