Sujet: Lets play if I was the GM
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>matthias893</b></div><div>Chychrun was traded for a 1st and (2) 2nds, so the value is here, but definitely without Zetterlund or Joseph included. $5.5m retention is likely a non starter, but two solid prospects and the equivalent of a 1st and (2) 2nds is probably not far off of what it would cost at that retention level.

Where it gets sticky is Chychrun. He's an excellent player for sure, but San Jose is also overloaded at LD. He would be our immediate #1 for sure, but LD is like our area of least need in the rebuild. Far less enticing though is that he's only under team control for two more years. That is well before San Jose's rebuild will be done and the risk that he walks in Free Agency OR that to keep him we have to overpay on a big money 8 year contract until he's 35 is too much.</div></div>

Chych was traded for 1st, THREE 2nds, and a 3rd.

OTT HAD to dump Zaitsev at the same time, and ARI wouldnt take him without increasing the price.

Sujet: an interesting and unrealistic idea
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Green4D4</b></div><div>Him playing out of his mind earned him a pretty team friendly deal, if you ask me. Again, for that price, that's pretty good. It's a calculated risk that didn't pay off this year because of bad team defence. Before blaming Forsy, maybe fix the house B novice level hockey D system in front of him. He wasn't bad this year.

Would you have prefered they go after Campbell? Husso? Kuemper? Holtby? Did any of those goalies have a good year?

And what exactly would Ottawa have spent that 3rd round pick on? Depth? Another goalie? A player that wouldn't have an impact on the roster for another 5 years? A perpetual rebuild?

Bad cap? What are we talking about here? 2.75 is manageable. 6.25 is not hence why MM is now gone forever and will be bought out by Toronto saving us 1.3 in cap this year.

Who would've started this year? Matt Murray? Gus/Talbot? Sogaard who was definitely not ready? Or Forsberg.</div></div>

Oh brother, you've opened a can lol yeah I basically wouldnt have done any of Dorions moves in the last 2ish years.

But were not gonna see eye to eye here. I question your logic and understanding of cap dynamics where you seem to think we have "saved" anything in paying to dump Murray or saving anything in the retention coming off if he is bought out
