“Be Better Dorion”? He just got the cat for less than the hawks paid for Seth Jones. He’s making up for past mistakes

That was a great trade. But also this scenario includes dumping 2 players he acquired at a loss, on top of 2 buyouts of contracts he signed/acquired, on top of still being stuck with a redundant Del Zotto contract, which he signed.
