Some people on this site are so dumb they don’t even realize that said player used to play for the team he is being offered to and they let him walk away for free, they had no use for him. Now these same dumb people expect the team that walked away from the player to absorb a $2.5m contract for free even though they don’t want the player. 🙄
Furthermore, these incredibly dumb people can’t seem to understand that their teams dumb GM created a total dumpster fire with the teams salary cap, put himself into a situation where he has no leverage and yet they feel teams aren’t going to take advantage of that… dumb, really, really dumb.
Some people on this site are so dumb they don’t even realize that the creator of this ACGM is a Colorado fan and not even a Sens fan
But congrats for calling the OP dumb even though he has done nothing to you. He's just trying something out there, which is the point of this forum

For all these brilliant Senators fans out there, answer one question, if Dorion could move Kubalik for free, why hasn’t he?
It would free up the cap space to get Pinto done and back on the ice. It has been widely reported that Dorian is not willing to pay the PRICE being asked to move the player(s) he needs to, to free up cap space.
Dumb or brilliant? lol
It's been reported that teams were asking for a good compensation to take on Joseph's contract, which Dorion realized was crazy. With the way Joseph has been playing in the 3v3 league this summer (he was the league's superstar over guys like Suzuki, Letang, Dubois, Perron, Drouin, etc), in training camp/preseason and then in the first 3 games of the season, it makes zero sense to move him at all, unless you'd be getting better than what you paid to get him.
With Kleven not being 100% ready, Dorion now realizes that they need Brannstrom, who is not at peak value yet and it wouldn't clear enough AAV
But in reality, no one knows what Dorion is doing, he has shown for 7+ years how clueless he is and that he is simply not made for this job. An extremely lucky context of circumstances has kept him in place.
It's not been reported anywhere that Kubalik has been "shopped" yet, my hypothesis is that he doesn't want to lose face in the DeBrincat fiasco even more. The hope is that Staios forces him to make the only move that makes sense. His deadline SHOULD be when Norris gets back in the lineup. Kubalik is clearly not needed after that
