Can they just replace Brucie with Mad Money Jim Kramer to talk players' trade stock in the intermission?
AO, all over Sens Twitter the overwhelming thought is if he was settling for a 3rd that was going to always be there till late Monday. What do u think?
Eh, taking the 3rd today isn't as bad as it's being made out to be.
In reality the second round picks given up for Scandella and Dillon are going to be late 2nd round picks. Winnipeg is sitting 11th overall and doesn't have a lot of wiggle room to move up the standings. So in reality the Winnipeg pick is only 10-12 spots later than either of those 2nd rounders.
Scandella and Dillon are probably slight overpays, but have been established top 4D previously. Demelo is really a 5-6 who plays top 4 on a bad bad team.
As to why today rather than waiting it out? It's well known that Dorion has a very thin staff, and he's backed himself into a corner with 6000 UFAs/RFAs to address by the deadline.
He only has so much time and resources to talk trades with teams. By getting rid of Demelo now, he can focus on the bigger deals on the team. In reality I'd rather him take a 5% discount on the Demelo deal just to get it done and not absolutely get destroyed on a panicked time cruncheddeal for one of our bigger fish
Thx, that all sounds reasonable. Scary part is the small staff 🤦♂️😱
