And Dorion got an extension?
It's hard to believe they will be able to retain any player of significance going forward. Tough spot for their fans to be sure.

Comment was more to how he wasted a pretty good asset acquiring Burrows and then less than year later hi-lighted his mistake. One of many. Can't make a player with options want to be in Ottawa.Yes, I'm sure waiving a dirty player who's been suspended already this season while playing some bottom six minutes, and an over the hill Oduya are what will keep players out of Ottawa.
As much as I like mocking the golden onion, this is being done to improve these guys’ trade stock.
Teams can trade a 7th for them and keep them in the minors for depth, without worrying about someone taking them.
Considering Bettman has been angered by Melnycks crap several times in the past year or so I doubt it. He's closer to one more boneheaded move and the league calling a BoG meeting to force him to sell. Oh ya, and Bettman has been all over helping the Sens (not Melnyck) win our downtown arena, he's not moving them he is actually helping them. Never thought I would praise Bettman, it takes a special kind of idiot to surpass him and our owner has done it with flying colours.Does nobody think maybe Melnyk has a deal with Buttman to move the team to Seattle and he's dumping salary every which way he can so he can get a fresh start . Top third of the arena is tarped off because nobody is buying tickets so he may as well move the team .

Full rebuild?
Aren't they tanking and going for Dahlen as their #1 pick this year was top ten protected? Might have misunderstood something in your post.
The NHL wants the revenues (projected at six hundred million) in expansion fees from Seattle.Does nobody think maybe Melnyk has a deal with Buttman to move the team to Seattle and he's dumping salary every which way he can so he can get a fresh start .

Melynk may move the Senators to Quebec, which has an NHL arena but no team.
No. Expansion is good for the league, relocation is not. Ottawa will keep their team, they have the fans to support it. The only real question is if anyone can find a way to run Melnyk out of town.
Yeah, that seems possible. Aside from the massive arena being built in downtown Ottawa that is.
Jonathan Dahlen and Rasmus Dahlin are two different guys. The first one is the prospect they gave up in the trade for Burrows last year at the deadline.
Putting Burrows on waivers is admitting that they gave up their prospect Dahlen for nothing. That's poor asset management.
The Burrows trade was a huge mistake.
Well they also extended him to a bad contract then waived himDefinitely poor asset management, but I'm not sure why it gets judged so much. They essentially gave up Dahlen (a 2nd round pick) for Burrows. They were buyers and made a big playoff run.
The leafs gave up a 2nd for Boyle and lost in the first round. Had him for 2 months.
Minnesota gave a 1st 2nd and 4th for Hanzal. Lost in the first round. Had him for 2 months.
Why don't more people chirp those GMs?
I hated the trade and Burrows didn't really do much. But there are trades like that all the time.
Anyways I really hope someone claims him.
