Ken Campbell of The Hockey News suggests that Pierre Dorion will want to put out this tire fire quickly.
The Ottawa Senators have tried to trade Hoffman a few times and Karlsson on at least one occasion. Here lies a general manager in an unenviable position on multiple fronts. He cannot obtain maximum value or close for his two trade chips. With an organization in tatters inside and out, Dorion has to do the best he can and hope to rebuild.
Don Brennan of The Ottawa Sun chimes in on the Karlsson/Hoffman fracas.
