<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

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Green4D4</b></div><div>Forsberg was one of the better goaltenders (expected goals saved % was incredible) at the time of extension when Ottawa had no other options at the time. Ottawa would have been fleeced in any trade regardless if he was a waiver claim. The 3 year contract is justified considering he was playing out of his mind in front of an injured (and awful) blueline and a defensive zone structure akin to a house-league peewee B level hockey team (highest danger scoring chances given up). He didn't play great last year but he wasn't awful either. Talbot was awful on every level. Sogaard was too young an inconsistent as expected of a 21 year old.

It's no shocker as soon as Gus the Bus left Ottawa he became a Vezina level candidate in front a of what is considered to be a very goalie friendly structure in Minnesota. He also had motivation issues in Ottawa (he's on record saying such things).

If Forsberg can stay healthy, he is absolutely the 1B starter. I do believe Ottawa will go after some insurance (Korpisalo, Hill),</div></div>

Him playing out of his mind, is why he should have been moved. He was never going to have higher value. We for certain could have gotten a 3rd round pick for him and used the 3M for a UFA goalie that offseason.

Now were stuck with bad cap, and a missed opportunity

THe motivation issues stemmed from not being given an opportunity in the NHL. "Being Up and Down", hes on record saying as much. If Forsberg would have been traded Gus would have been shown that he has a future in OTT
