This will go over well in the comments

it sounds to me that moving Joseph, Kubalik and Brannstrom are unlikely, so there has got to be some other plan up their sleeve.

(if they have a plan)

They don’t even have a pla

They must. There is no way an NHL GM is just winging this.

It's Pierre Dorion I wouldn't put it past him

If he had a plan, Pinto would have been playing already. He put him self in a hole and none of the other 31 GMs are letting him out right now

Nah

Nah you can keep your dman that will likely be injured in a couple weeks.

Why would we trade arguably our best defenseman, on the best team friendly deal? Kubalik/Brannstrom are gone way before this is even entertained.

Cuz the oG post guys is kinda clueless

Dorians Plan was to really lowball him for one season and then make it up to him when the Sens get $5M of dead money off the cap and the cap goes up 4.5-5 million next summer, but Pinto isn't going with that after getting a 20 goal season.

With his play and current contract, there is no way the Sens move Chychrun. They need him too much with JDB and Kleven not making the team and Thompson fading into a huge bust.

Kubilick is an interesting one, he does have a good shot and could be used by a team that gets into injury trouble.

If Dorion’s only plan was to lowball his “future top 6” center then he should have been fired already lol

Please stop trolling me

How does it sound likely?

Far more likely than moving Chychrun just after spending a 12th OA pick and 2 seconds to get him
