Giroux is 36.. if he can garner a 1st+ you absolutely trade him.

You were ranting and raving about how half these guys were untouchable all season and now it's the opposite. lol

Sens have mismanged their cap in past few years. Non playoff teams shouldn't be at the cap. Then the two poor (IMO) of DeBrincat and Chychrun....giving up good picks for a non playoff team still.

From a distance - & completely non objectively - the so-called core were / are just not that good; no superstar talent. So I agree 100%, Dorion jumped on deBrincat & Chycrun too early in the process. He should have kept the picks and recognized competitive window was still 2-3 years away but fan pressure after years of losing, lack of organizational stability, etc. led to bad decisions and there is no easy way out now 🤷🏻
