Dorian had better make the playoffs (& Atlantic is and will be a full on beast - I can’t wait) or he’s toast.
His big error was not understanding if deBrincat was interested in staying in Ottawa long term before he traded for him. Hindsight is 20-20 but you don’t pay that kind of price to acquire a player who is going to be unhappy and want out after one year.

Quoting: MitchJr

We're getting a new owner.

IMO, once the new owner can start to fire people, Dorion will be gone the next day.

Great. Now for the next year, we'll hear Chychrun demands, for more than what you paid...
