Going for Chychrun and Vejmelka is something I could see Dorion doing.
Would give us the best chance at jumping into the playoff race and they aren't rentals - both are in their mid-20s and signed for the next couple years. Could sell it to the fanbase as not a pure self-interested move to try to save his own skin.
With Forsberg blowing out his knees and Talbot also dealing with injuries and generally playing like crap in 2023, adding Vejmelka as a 1A/1B starter with Forsberg for next season wouldn't be the worst idea, even if I'm not sold on him being starter quality.
Yotes previously wanted Pinto and that was a no-go for the Sens. Not sure if that's changed with his slightly disappointing play this year, but the talk of the Sens looking for a center is curious. I also wonder if Merilainen's fantastic play in Finland has made Sogaard available. Yotes biggest need is a future in net and maybe he could be the center piece.
It's all very interesting. I'm still thinking Dumba or Schenn are the most likely acquisitions but who knows.
