The Scandella trade amplifies how bad this was for Dorion.
Yes he’s very steady. Can be a #4 but should be on the bottom pairing. Not a lot of offense but solid defensively and doesn’t make a lot of mistakes. He makes his defense partner better so he should be paired with an offensive minded guy.I don't know much about De Melo. Yes, Winnipeg needs every help it can get at D, but is he useful?

Yup its an absolute joke. Dorion is the worst GM in hockey.
Without a doubt.Dorion might be the worst trading GM in the League now that Chiarelli is gone
I'm not sure how to process a trade for the Jets where mostly everyone thinks we did pretty good at the time of the trade (not in hindsight). What even is this?
HF hive mind might think a rental bottom pair D man with little brand recognition is worth a second, but a 3rd seems quite reasonable.
The other bottom pairing defense men that were traded today all got at least a 2nd if not more.
Not an Ottawa fan but with the Dillon and Scandella trades both teams retained 50%. Scandella makes 4.75 and Dillon 3.9, at this point in the year I'm not sure what the actual cash that's left but those teams are eating money. The St. Louis and Washington pick will be late 2nd so likely 55+ while Winnipeg 3rd could be 75. So just a 20 spot difference and Melnyk doesn't have to pay a player to be on another team. And he has by far the least playoff experience of the three.

Add depth simple. Depth is key in a run and push for playoffs . Good moveWaste of a 3rd
Nothing against DeMelo but what is Winnipeg going to accomplish by doing this.
EDIT: on a second thought, i guess you have to do something so you can go "don't say i never did nothing for ya".. if you got to do something not the worst thing in the world but i just think it's likely that the Jets miss the playoffs and even if they decide to keep him, he's not the guy they need.
