Sens fans have to understand that their team has only 9 million in cap and only 15 players signed. If and I say if Ottawa goes to arbitration and wins and can pay ADB 15% less he still will eat up to 7.5 million of the 9 million and then what? you field the other 7 players with what cap?
ADB has them by the short hairs. If they trade him to another team he does not want to go too, he will sign a 1 year contract and leave as a UFA in a year, so that drives his value down, Ottawa has no cap, and lastly few teams can afford himwithout screwing up theri own cap.
Dorion as zero leverage.
