I hope Batman approved this, otherwise Ottawa will have to give another first rounder to Chicago

I love that there’s at least one quality version of this annually from this team no matter who’s in charge.

DJ wasn’t the problem I guess lol

Maybe so but do we know how much cash made in his gambling endeavors? Plus his future endorsement possibilities with the gambling companies.

In true NHL fashion, he will be the only person associated with the League in any way that has the "Pinto Provision" Addendum to his contract. Banning him from any involvement, contact or dealings with any professional sportsbook. Probably will be docked a game's pay if a photographer snaps a pic of him in warmups standing neat the BetMGM signage on the boards.

Talk about fumbling the bag.

Jesus.. Wasn't he looking for something in the $5M range?
I could be confusing him for someone else, but seem to recall he had a big number in mind.
Could have been the lotto max number though

Think he was looking for $2-3 mil.

Hope for his sake he can be productive and get a good deal down the road but damn.

I think he was asking $5M for two years. $2.5M AAV.

As puckhead says.... Woof


I mean, Pierre Dorion was a horrible GM, top 2 worst NHL history IMO, but the fire sale started with Karlsson's trade. Which netted:

Stützle (PPG player)
Norris (injured often but a solid bet to get 30 goals a year when healthy)
Mads Sogaard (2nd round)
Zack Ostapchuk

That was a great haul. So whoever this guy is, he is cherry picking to the extreme. Especially since the return for Pageau (who was more of a core player than Dzingel) isn't included and was pretty damn good. I firmly believe the Karlsson deal was just dumb luck on Dorion's part but imagine if a competent GM had made those other trades?

The Dzingel trade was fantastic, Dorion just fucked it up by squandering the assets he got back.

The Duchene trade was subpar but with a decent draft pick it's passable. Dorion just botched even that.

The Stone trade was just terrible. He waited until the last minute then proceeded to get bent over by Vegas. Unbelievably bad.
