Dorion is so dumb he couldn't even make himself not look bad with this signing bonus sell-off.
He could've just swapped Luchuk for a better prospect worth 3rd rounder like Rodewald or Paul or Chlapik and no one would've talked about selling picks. But nope, he leaves it in plain sight.

Different situations, though. Marleau was to be bought out, so the team acquiring him was to get no value from the actual player.
Zaitsev is obviously seen as a valuable asset that will help this team, according to Dorion and company. A lot of Leaf fans on these boards (and a few articles I’ve read) have mentioned that Zaitsev asked to be traded. So, it’s not as if Ottawa thinks they’re taking on a terrible contract. They value him, and probably think Brown can be a good player here, too. I’m not educated enough on these guys to say how good they are, but I’ll give them a chance and hope for the best
Giving up the pick is garbage, though. Not surprising as we’ve seen this before, but c’mon. We’re rebuilding and this team is on track to spend peanuts relative to most other teams. Pay the damn bonus and keep the pick.

I said this in the trade thread, but if we don't plan on extending him, his value might be highest right now.
I doubt any team is fooled into thinking he is an actual top 4 defender, but I could see teams viewing him as a solid NHL RD who is on a very cap friendly contract.
Although, I'd guess based on our current moves, we want to contend for the playoffs now, and would probably rather keep him for the depth instead of maybe getting a 3rd round pick.
Injuries will happen and young guys will be up and down so we probably keep them all

Yikes! Dorion done got hosed again.
This guy really might be the worst GM in the history of the league. He's an embarassment along with Melnyk.
There has to be something better and less infuriating to do with our time right?!?!?

With Hainsey we have 7 defensemen on the roster, of whom Wolanin and Jaros are waiver-exempt. Seems like a reasonable defense situation.
Pretty sure usually we have it worse at the start of the season.

I am camping out here in leafs country.
Leafers think we did better in trade.
I think it is pretty amusing that we just got rid of our whipping boy, and no one is planning a parade down Bank Street.
@Micklebot had the PD pick thrown in pages back. Good call. That pick is the only that maybe stings a little down the road.

Only Dorion could pee away another deal. This team is a complete embarrassment and I feel sorry for the players stuck here... How can a fan trust and believe in anything these clowns say. Yeah we’re rebuilding by being the AHL of the NHL?!?! We’re rebuilding by giving picks away? Morion had all the leverage and still got completely shafted... but that’s not what any of this is about.. it’s about EM saving 4 mil. This team can fold for all I care.

I think we can just amend the acronym to Five Years Of Unprecedented Sucking. We've entered year 3.
If we only keep it to 5, I'll be surprised. We look like a team that is staying in the basement for about a decade. We are the new Edmonton.

Doing the leafs favors so they can come into your own rink blow you out and have their own fans cheering it on. It just keeps getting worse and worse to be a sens fan. Its like a nightmare you cant wake up from, every time something more terrible happens you think its going to end and it just doesnt.
Yep pretty much this....We didnt need another so/so defender locked in for that long....Unless we got a great piece...

And that is fine,Toronto needed the cap space and have shown they would have paid to get it...Why on earth is it us surrendering picks here??We are the ones that had the leverage,we didnt need to make this move...Toronto did
